The U.S. and its allies plan to impose sanctions on more Russian industries and supply chains.

The US government representatives recently visited Europe to consult with allies on strengthening and enforcing sanctions to punish Russia. They also plan to take action to disrupt their critical supply chains.

The US government claims that the sanctions imposed on Russia since the invasion began on February 24 have proved extremely effective, plunging Russia into a financial crisis. The sanctions include a freeze on the Russian central bank's foreign exchange assets, a ban on hard currency transactions by major Russian banks and wealthy individuals, and export restrictions on advanced semiconductors and other technologies. The sanctions have weakened the Russian economy and left the Kremlin with fewer resources.

The volatile international political situations will continue to affect the markets and prices of many commodities like the Natural flake graphite​.

Natural flake graphite is a natural crystalline graphite, which is shaped like a fish-phosphorus, belongs to the hexagonal crystal system, and has a layered structure.

Flake graphite is a natural solid lubricant with a layered structure, which is abundant in resources and cheap.

What is the features of natural flake graphite?

The flake graphite has complete crystals, thin flakes and good toughness, excellent physical and chemical properties, good thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, thermal shock resistance, corrosion resistance, etc.

What is the distribution of natural flake graphite?

In December 2015, geological prospectors discovered a super-large scale graphite mine in Alxa League, Inner Mongolia. The total amount of proven graphite resources was 130 million tons, accounting for about 7.3% of the global recoverable reserves. Grade 5.45%. According to reports, such high-grade, ultra-large-scale graphite deposits are rare in China.

According to the 2013 report of the US Geological Survey, the global amount of large flake graphite minerals is less than 5 million tons. The amount of large scale graphite minerals found in the Chahanmuhulu graphite mining area in Alxa Left Banner is as high as 7.03 million tons.

What is the classification of natural flake graphite?

Classification by carbon content

For example, C%>99.9% is high-purity graphite; 94%

Classification by particle size

When the particle size is smaller than w38 micropowder graphite.

What is the standard of natural flake graphite? 

Flake graphite standard GB T 3518-2008

Southern Copper Corp (SCCO.N) recently said its Peruvian mine remained closed after a six-week standoff with protesters and blamed the Peruvian government for failing to intervene in the safety of its 1,300 workers and their families.  

The company said in a statement that a recent agreement to end protests at the Cuajone mine required the company to withdraw complaints against protest leaders because railways transporting minerals and supplies remained blocked. Production has been suspended since the end of February.  

Peru's Energy Ministry said in a separate statement that it had also reached an agreement with Southern Copper to start talks to find common ground with local communities.  

"If we shut down for a year, the government will stop receiving more than 3.1 billion soles ($830 million) in taxes and royalties, and 8,000 direct and indirect jobs will be lost. This is what we want to avoid, "Southern Copper added in the statement.

Peru has faced a wave of protests from indigenous communities, who accuse mining companies of not providing enough jobs and funding to poor local residents.  

Central bank officials said last week that protests against copper mines such as MMG's Las Bambas and Southern Copper's Cuajone were dragging down the economy.  

Peru is the world's second-largest copper producer and mining is an important source of tax revenue for the country. It is estimated that the supply and prices of the Natural flake graphite​ will be influenced by that.
