• Swedish Government formally adopts detailed plan for Talga's Nunasvaara South Graphite Mine
• Key permits already in force, including Environmental Permit and Exploitation Concession
• Graphite deposit designated as a mineral deposit of national interest

Talga Group Ltd, a battery materials and technology company, has announced that the Swedish Government has formally adopted the detailed plan (zoning) for Talga's Nunasvaara South Graphite Mine, part of the Vittangi Anode Project. This approval paves the way for the company to proceed with detailed design and securing building permits before project development. The detailed plan, which is now legally in force, regulates how the land can be used and developed in compliance with Sweden's land-use and environmental regulations. It designates zones on site for infrastructure, buildings, and mining activities. Key permits for the Nunasvaara South Graphite Mine are already in force, namely the Environmental Permit and Exploitation Concession. The graphite deposit at Vittangi is designated as a mineral deposit of national interest, while the Vittangi Anode Project encompassing the Luleå Anode Refinery is a designated EU Strategic Project under the Critical Raw Materials Act and the Net-Zero Industry Act. Talga Group CEO, Martin Phillips, commented that the decision significantly derisks the Vittangi Anode Project as the company progresses further along the financing path and unlocks certainty on planning as it moves closer to commercial production.
