Syrah Resources Ltd (ASX: SYR) has announced two pieces of news this morning that could affect the share price.

Syrah is a resources business that owns and developed the Balama Graphite Project in Mozambique. In 2018 Syrah produced over 100,000 tonnes of natural graphite in 2018 and is the largest and first major new operation outside of China. Syrah is also progressing its ‘downstream’ Battery Anode Material strategy with first production of spherical graphite achieved in December 2018 from its plant in Louisiana, USA.

Syrah’s Sales Agreement

Syrah has executed a binding agreement with Gredmann for sales into China.

The Balama Graphite Operation will supply 9,000 tonnes per month of fines natural graphite across a range of fixed carbon grades. The agreement commences from June 2019 until December 2021 for a total of 279,000 tonnes, which is a rate of 108,000 tonnes per year.

Syrah said that the payment terms are more attractive than its previous sales contracts. Gredmann will be Syrah’s preferred trader of standard fines products in China for the duration of this contract, with direct sales continuing to certain end users.

Syrah has amended its sales agreement with Qingdao Languite Graphite Co to reflect the sale of coarse flake products only.

Shaun Verner, Managing Director and CEO of Syrah, said: “We are pleased to have entered into this long-term large volume contract with Gredmann.

Syrah sees Gredmann’s extensive experience and strong presence in China as an excellent platform through which to increase sales volumes and further demonstrate consistency and reliability of supply to this high growth market.”

Syrah’s Capital Raising

Syrah is looking to raise around $111.6 million through a convertible note deed and an underwritten entitlement offer.

One part of the capital raising will be a $55.8 million convertible note to be issued to AustralianSuper.

The other part will be a $55.8 million (fully underwritten pro rata accelerated non-renounceable) entitlement offer at $0.81 per share from institutional investors and regular investors.

The money will be used to progress Syrah’s Battery Anode Material and also to tailor Balama’s production ramp-up for the global demand.

Whilst these are both positive updates for the company, I am cautious of investing in resources shares like Syrah. I’d rather invest in the reliable ASX shares in the free report below.
