Lincoln Minerals (ASX:LML) has entered into a collaboration agreement with SCN Canada to explore the use of graphite from its Kookaburra Graphite Project in South Australia for small modular nuclear reactors.
SCN, trading as StarCore Nuclear, is developing high-temperature gas-cooled reactor SMRs designed to provide safe, small-scale, carbon-free energy to remote communities worldwide.
Under the agreement, the two companies will jointly investigate potential commercial opportunities for Lincoln’s high-purity graphite in SMRs, including testwork, feasibility studies, and the definition of a commercial framework.
The collaboration aligns with Lincoln's strategy to identify high-value applications for its 12.8 million tonne graphite resource at 7.56% total graphitic carbon.
