Peako Limited (PKO.AX) is an Australian-based exploration company focused on the discovery and development of critical minerals, primarily graphite and gold, with operations centered in Tanzania. The company holds interests in the Kasagula Graphite Project and the Minjingu Graphite Project in Tanzania, where it explores for high-quality vein graphite deposits suitable for battery anode materials and other industrial applications; it also maintains the Alpha Gold Project in Queensland, Australia, targeting alluvial and hard-rock gold resources. Peako offers geological exploration services, resource estimation, and project development consulting, targeting mining companies, battery manufacturers, and industrial users in the clean energy and precious metals sectors, with geographic operations spanning East Africa and Australia.
Founded in 2010 and headquartered in West Perth, Australia, Peako operates as a junior miner without notable subsidiaries or parent entities. In recent developments, the company completed a capital raising initiative in late 2024 to fund accelerated drilling at the Kasagula Project, marking a strategic shift toward large-scale graphite resource delineation amid rising global demand for electric vehicle materials; additionally, Peako announced a technical partnership with a major Chinese graphite processor in mid-2025 to advance off-take agreements and pilot processing trials for its Tanzanian vein graphite. These moves position Peako for potential production ramp-up, with ongoing environmental permitting and feasibility studies enhancing its expansion into the battery minerals supply chain.
