BACKGROUND

Malagasy Minerals Ltd (ASX Code: MGY / “Malagasy”) has established a large exploration project in Southern Madagascar (Figure 2.) that is prospective for both mafic-ultramafic intrusive related magmatic nickel-copperplatinum group metals (PGM) deposits and high-grade, high-quality graphite deposits.

The graphite prospectivity of the region has been established by the discovery of the large, high-quality Molo Graphite Deposit by Energizer Resources Inc. (“Energizer”). Malagasy announced (27[th] March 2014) that subject to final payment, it had finalized the sale of the company’s 25% interest in the project in order to crystallise significant value and to increase its focus on the company’s highly prospective 100% owned ground. The transaction is set to deliver a low-risk immediate return to Malagasy in the form of initial cash and share payments, whilst maintaining leveraged exposure through future benchmark cash and share payments.

Malagasy has been working to a strategy to define the potential of the 100% held ground to host additional high-grade graphite deposits that would have the potential to either enhance, or be enhanced by, the development of the Molo Graphite Deposit by Energizer. Malagasy is targeting a high-grade resource base with a particular focus on identifying near surface, low mining cost deposits that can be assessed quickly and at modest cost, potentially working off the benefits of the Molo development.

THE MANIRY PROJECT

The Maniry Project is located in the southern part of the company’s Ampanihy Project (Figure 1.) and has been identified as being highly prospective for not only high-grade, high-quality graphite deposits but also for largescale intrusive related nickel-copper-PGM deposits and molybdenum-selenium-REE deposits.

Exploration at Maniry has identified a series of large, high-grade outcrops of graphite mineralisation within a broader graphite trend covering an area of approximately 8km x 4km. This initial work was followed by more detailed systematic rock chip sampling across the interpreted strike of the graphite lenses (ASX announcement 21[st] November 2013) to determine the continuity of grade across the width of these graphite lenses.

This recent diamond drilling program was the culmination of exploration that achieved the following outcomes:

  •  Definition of at least 34 large-scale zones of prominently outcropping graphite mineralisation over an area of 6.5km x 2.5km. Additional targets have been identified and will be advanced at an appropriate time;

  •  Individual lenses have strike extensions of up to 1.8km and can attain widths of up to 350m;

  •  Rock chip sampling program has returned individual results up to 50.78%C; and

  •  Field assessment of the graphite flake size has highlighted it is generally of coarse nature. Previously completed petrological analysis of selected samples has confirmed the high quality nature of the graphite. The graphite flake size is generally >0.7mm with some material as coarse as several millimetres. The graphite is largely free from inclusions of other minerals

RAZAFY TARGET:

Two traverses of drilling (9 holes – see Appendix 1) were completed approximately 500 metres apart to provide an initial test of the central portion of the ~1.6km long Razafy Target. The drilling focused on the two central lenses of mineralisation (Figure 4) - the remaining four parallel lenses remain untested.

The key outcomes of the drilling include:

  •  Confirmation of consistent, thick outcropping, high-grade graphite horizons hosted by felsic gneissic rocks (Figure 5a and 5b);

  •  Field assessment confirms the course grained nature of the graphite mineralisation;

  •  The carbon grade within the horizons are generally consistent from hole to hole and from section to section;

  •  Surface sampling has provided an accurate guide as to the expected grades in the sub-surface and;

  •  Diamond drilling is a cost effective way (approximately A$50/metre) of drill testing the targets.

Razafy Target Drilling Results:

  • MNDD001 26 metres @ 7.3%C from 2 metres (Includes 10 metres @ 10.2%C) a nd 14 metres @ 5.1%C from 52 metres

CONCLUSIONS AND NEXT STEPS:

This highly successful drilling program has delivered results that confirm the potential for Malagasy Minerals 100% owned Maniry Graphite Project to host large-scale, high-grade and easily accessible graphite deposits within a very localized area. The four key targets of this drilling programme provide an insight into the wider possibility of the project area with a further 30 graphite targets already identified.

The widths and near-surface outcropping nature of the graphite mineralisation provides the potential to delineate large positions quickly and in a high-quality manner by utilizing high-value in-house diamond drilling resources. The Razafy Target in particular could be assessed for an initial JORC compliant resource within a short period of time (post the current annual wet season).

The wide, near surface nature of the mineralisation would, in concept, be highly amenable to shallow open pit mining of any future identified JORC compliant mining reserve.

Beyond the potential confirmed by this initial assessment work, the Maniry Project is ready to move on to a scoping study stage. As is typical with graphite deposits the key parameter will be the metallurgical characteristics and the quality of the graphite mineralisation. Attaining this necessary and sufficient metallurgical information will inform the requirements for resource definition drilling and subsequent mining and processing studies. Malagasy will be examining the best means to fund and advance this next stage of work.

APPENDIX (II) = JORC 2012 COMPLIANCE TABULATION

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria
JORC Code explanation
Commentary
Sampling techniques
·Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or
specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld
XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad
meaning of sampling.
·Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity
and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.
·Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report.
·In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be
relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples
from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other
cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that
has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types
(eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
Sampling consisted of 2m composite samples of quarter core from
all significantly mineralised zones. Samples were cut using a
diamond blade core saw. Duplicate samples were collected every
~20th sample for QAQC purposes. Sampling is considered to be
comprehensive and representative. Remaining core was retained
as a permanent reference.
Drilling techniques
·Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air
blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard
tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is
oriented and if so, by what method, etc).
Diamond drilling was undertaken. Core sizes collected were HQ
and NQ in 3m intervals. Core was not orientated.
Drill sample recovery
·Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries
and results assessed.
·Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the samples.
·Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and
whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of
fine/coarse material.
Core recovery was routinely recorded every metre by a trained
geologist. Core recovery at the start of hole, 0-10m, averaged 65%
recovery whilst from 10m onwards recovery typically ranged
between 95-100%. Mineralised zones reported in this
announcement have incurred core loss, at this stage it is unsure
whether a relationship exists between grades and core loss.
Logging
·Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and
geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource
estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.
·Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or
costean, channel, etc) photography.
All holes were logged by a qualified and experienced geologist. All
logging included descriptions of geotechnical, mineralisation,
structural and lithological aspects of the core and was digitally
recorded using an industry standard code system. Core was
formally photographed. Data collected offers sufficient detail for the
purpose of interpretation and further studies.

Commentary
·The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.
Sub-sampling techniques and
sample preparation
·If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.
·If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether
sampled wet or dry.
·For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the
sample preparation technique.
·Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to
maximise representivity of samples.
·Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in
situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half
sampling.
·Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material
being sampled.
Quarter core was cut using a diamond core saw and collected for
assay. 2 metre composite sampling was deemed to be
comprehensive and representative for the style/type of
mineralisation under investigation. Duplicate samples were taken
(remaining quarter core) approximately every ~20th sample for
QAQC purposes
Quality of assay data and
laboratory tests
·The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory
procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total.
·For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc,
the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and
model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc.
·Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy
(ie lack of bias) and precision have been established.
Samples were prepared at Intertek-Genalysis Madagascan
operations. Samples were pulverised and split into 200g samples
and freighted to ACME laboratories in Canada for Assay. Samples
were leached with concentrated nitric acid followed by KOH and
finally dilute HCl then analysed by a LECO Carbon-Sulphur
analyser to give a Total Graphitic Carbon (TGC) percentage. The
laboratory procedures are considered to be appropriate for
reporting TGC according to industry best practice. The insertion of
CRM's and duplicates every ~20 samples by MGY was used as an
internal means of QAQC of laboratory standards. No issues were
encountered.
Verification of sampling and
assaying
·The verification of significant intersections by either independent or
alternative company personnel.
·The use of twinned holes.
·Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification,
data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.
·Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
Significant intersections have been verified by consulting
geologists to the group, OMNI GeoX Pty. Ltd. No holes have been
twinned. All data has been captured digitally upon logging and
stored digitally securely within the Perth head office database.
Location of data points
·Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and
down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral
Resource estimation.
·Specification of the grid system used.
·Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
All XYZ surveying was collected using a handheld Garmin GPS

Data aggregation methods
·In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-
off grades are usually Material and should be stated.
·Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade
results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such
aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations
should be shown in detail.
·The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values
should be clearly stated.
No top cuts have been applied. A nominal 4% lower cut-off has
been applied in the determination of significant intercepts. High
grade intercepts within broader low grade intervals have been
separated as 'including' results. No metal equivalent values are
used in this report.
Relationship between
mineralisation widths and
intercept lengths
·These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of
Exploration Results.
·If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle
is known, its nature should be reported.
·If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there
should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not
known’).
Most drilling has intersected mineralised zones at a near
perpendicular angle and as so true widths can inferred by the
reader.
