  • Pit design to be completed during May 2014.

==> picture [11 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

  • Four 22.9cm diameter, 30 metre deep auger holes completed along the Campoona Shaft deposit provided 4.5 tonnes of run-of-mine sample for the initial 5 years of mine life for scale-up and pilot scale test work.

Campoona Shaft 2014 Drilling

During February and March 2014 geotechnical diamond drilling was completed at Archer Exploration Limited’s (ASX: “AXE”) wholly-owned Campoona graphite project located north of Cleve on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula.

Three diamond holes for 297m were drilled at Campoona Shaft to provide geotechnical data to enable detailed pit design to proceed.

Additionally four 22.9cm diameter auger holes were drilled along the strike of the graphite body to a depth of 30m (Plate 6, below is an example of one of these holes). Approximately 4.5 tonnes of graphite ore was recovered from these holes which represents run-of-mine feedstock for the first 5 years of the project’s planned mine life. The ore recovered will form the basis of future up-scaling and pilot scale test work.
