MAHENGE NORTH EXPLORATION UPDATE

Highlights

  • First phase of on-site exploration due diligence at Mahenge North Graphite Project (“Mahenge North”) is due to be finalised this week

  • A total of 570m of trenching completed, consisting of 400m of new trenches across Epanko North lodes and 170m of cleaning and reviewing historic trenches on these lodes

  • Initial mapping and trenching indicates that graphite mineralisation within the tenement extends at least 3.5km on the Epanko west lode and 1.5km on the Epanko East lode. These strike lengths will most likely increase with further trenching, with potential to link to the Ndololo lodes to the north

  • Large flake graphite (1-2mm) has been consistently observed throughout the two graphitic lodes

  • Trench Samples (250kg) comprising 200 rockchip channel samples from Epanko North prospect have been transported to Mwanza, Tanzania for preparation, before being flown to Laboratories in Australia for analysis

  • Assay results expected early-mid September

  • Company objective to increase tenure in Tanzania

Background

Further to the announcement by Green Rock Energy Limited (ASX.GRK) on 7 July 2014 to acquire a 100% interest in the Mahenge North Graphite project (Figure 1), Green Rock is pleased to announce that it is nearing the end of its initial exploration due diligence programme at Mahenge North Graphite Project

Due Diligence Exploration process and update

Epanko North – Green Rock’s trenching and sampling programme was designed to confirm the approximate 2 kilometre long northern extension of Kibaran Resources Ltd (ASX:KNL) Epanko Project into the southern portion of the Mahenge North tenement. As part of Green Rock’s geological and mapping work, Green Rock has been able to establish that the Epanko Graphite Mineralisation band extends from Kibaran’s permit into Green Rock’s licence with strike length exceeding 3.5km. Further trenching and sampling is being finalised this week with assay results expected to be available early September.
