Minerals (CSMs) including sharing the financial risk of exploration and assistance in relations with
local communities and First Nations. The Plan also addresses the need for infrastructure
improvement and meshes with the Canada-U.S. Joint Action Plan on Critical Minerals

important manufacturing sectors in North America.
What is graphite and what is it used for?
Graphite is a naturally occurring crystalline form of carbon which is soft, greyish -black with a
metallic sheen. Interest in graphite has increased because it is used in the lithium -ion batteries
that power electric cars. However, there are other significant uses. In steelmaking it increases its
carbon content and makes steel products stronger. In the automobile industry, graphite is used
in gaskets, brake linings and clutch materials. It also has a range of other industrial uses, including
in components of electric motors, batteries, lubricants, and pencils.
