Sovereign Metals

Sovereign Metals Limited is an Australian critical-minerals development company headquartered in Perth, Western Australia, dual-listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: SVM) and London’s AIM (SVML), with an OTCQX listing (SVMLF). The company is advancing the Kasiya Rutile-Graphite Project in Malawi, discovered in 2019 and recognised as the world’s largest known natural rutile deposit and second-largest known flake graphite deposit, and one of only eleven Tier 1 mining projects discovered in the last decade. While Kasiya’s primary products are natural rutile (a titanium feedstock) and natural flake graphite rather than rare earths, the project is a cornerstone critical-minerals asset for titanium and battery supply chains, designed for an initial 25-year mine life producing roughly 222,000 tonnes of rutile and 275,000 tonnes of graphite annually. Global mining major Rio Tinto holds a strategic ~19.9% stake acquired for A$60 million and provides technical support, and a definitive feasibility study has confirmed the project’s scale and economics.
