Arrowhead Sees Significant Upside in Metals Australia’s Graphite Project

Description:

Market research firm Arrowhead believes Metals Australia (ASX:MLS) is positioned to benefit from surging demand for critical minerals tied to the global energy transition. In a September 2025 Due Diligence and Valuation Report, analysts Karan Mehta and Sahil Rustagi suggested a fair share value of AU$0.071 to AU$0.087, more than triple the current trading price of AU$0.022 as of mid-September 2025.

At the heart of this optimism is the company’s Lac Carheil graphite project in Quebec, Canada, which has rapidly advanced into Metals Australia’s flagship asset. The project now boasts an updated mineral resource of 50 million tonnes (Mt) grading 10.2 percent total graphitic carbon (TGC), containing 5.1 Mt of graphite, placing it among a select group of high-grade, large-scale deposits globally

Backed by strong technical partners and a grant from the Quebec government, the project is moving through a pre-feasibility study, with downstream integration plans centered on producing battery anode materials.
