• Resumen

  • While limited demand and excessive capacities put pressure on vein graphite prices, inefficient domestic mining conditions have compounded problems for producers, causing a substantial decrease in the country's total vein graphite output.

    Sri Lanka's two major vein graphite miners - Kahatagaha Graphite Lanka and Bogala Graphite - together registered production of 3,000 tonnes in 2014 - down around 19% on 2013.
