Natural resources always have critical and strategic importance for emerging countries. The EU’s Raw Materials Initiative has developed strategies for 27 critical raw materials, one of which is graphite. Turkey has a graphite mining history of more than 30 years. However, production limits have stayed below economic benefits due to lack of exploration knowledge and technological background to increase ore grades. As a first step, investment in systematic exploration of graphite resources is necessary to increase the supply of resources and then R&D to develop the technology to produce higher grade graphite ore. This paper aims to show the potential graphite mineralisation with new ore discoveries and its geoeconomic importance to both Turkey and surrounding European countries. Read the full article “Hidden graphite resources in Turkey: a new supply candidate for Europe?” by Alp İlhan, Ramazan Sari and Yonca Yıldırım, MSc, Eurgeol (QP), UMREK (CP), YERMAM Etik ve Denetleme Kurul Üyesi.
