Chiziro Graphite Project (100% owned)

24 November 2014

Investment Summary

  • ASX listed resources company (ASX:GBE)

  • 100% interest held on projects in Malawi including niobium, graphite and rare earths

  • Malawi Kanyika Niobium project in feasibility optimisation

Directors and Management

Globe Metals & Mining (“ Globe ” or “ the Company ”; ASX:GBE) has completed a trenching programme at the Chimutu Prospect within the Chiziro Graphite Project, situated approximately 25 kilometres northeast of Lilongwe in Malawi. Globe is reporting progressive results of geological, mineralogical and metallurgical analysis.

Seventeen exploration trenches have now been completed. The assay results of trenches (CZTR001-CZTR008 and CZTR009CZTR011) were reported to the ASX on 17[th] September 2014 and the 9[th] October 2014 respectively.

Assay results for the final six trenches (CZTR012-CZTR016 & CZTR005A) as well as trench extentions (CZTR004 and CZTR005) have been received and are now reported.

Location

Globes’ Chiziro Graphite project (EPL0299) is located approximately 25 kilometres northeast of Lilongwe, the capital city of Malawi (Figure 1). Globe has identified multiple potential prospects of large scale graphite mineralisation and is currently assessing the Chimutu Prospect in the southwest of the project area.

Program Designed to Define Graphite Mineralisation

Globe undertook a programme of 17 trenches (CZTR001 – CZTR016 & CZTR005A) designed to define graphite mineralisation. A total of 6,266 metres of trenching was completed. The assays for all the remaining trenches, CZTR012 - CZTR016 (Musinda Trend) and CZTR005A (Main Trend), as well as trench CZTR004 and CZTR005 extentions have been returned and results add further encouragement to those previously reported.

Summary of Best Graphite Results

The best results for the Main and Musinda Trends are listed in Table 1 below, with a complete list of graphite intersections presented subsequently in Table 2 and mineralisation illustrated in Figures 3 and 4. The assays results demonstrate mineralisation of more than 5% TGC over approximately 6,000 metres of strike for the Main and Musinda Trends, with both trends remaining open-ended to the northeast and south respectively. Of the new results six trenches intersected one or more intervals of high grade mineralisation.

Graphite Mineralisation extends over 6 kilometres

Figure 2, below, illustrates the location of trenches in the Chimutu Prospect area and the envelope of graphite mineralisation. Assay results confirm graphite mineralisation for the combined Main and Musinda Trends over a strike length of 6 kilometres.

Extent of graphite mineralisation over 8% TGC

Figure 3 illustrates the location and tenor of the graphite intersections for the Main Trend. Globe has identified more than 4,000 metres of graphite mineralisation with greater than 8.0% TGC. In addition to the Main Trend there is also the potential for new graphite trends as delineated in CZTR004 and CZTR005A.

Infrastructure and Metallurgical Summary

Globe stated in its release to the ASX on 9[th] October 2014 that the Company had evaluated infrastructure options and metallurgical properties for the Chiziro Project, summarised below. A one ton sample for additional metallurgical test work has been collected and is pending dispatch.

The following summarises infrastructure and metallurgical aspects for the Chimutu Prospect.

  • A. Infrastructure – summarised in Figure 5

  • Chimutu is situated 10 km from the operating railway line connecting Lilongwe to the port of Nacala in Mozambique

  • Close to an existing 132 kV high voltage transmission line

  • Connected to the sealed Lilongwe – Salima Highway

  • The availability and close proximity of these infrastructure will aid the development and support of a potential mining operation.

B. Metallurgy

  • Mineralogical analysis showed that graphite is present as coarse flakes generally 2-4mm in length

  • A single stage rougher-cleaner floation test demonstrated a concentrate grade of 92.8% TGC is achievable

  • While the above mentioned metallurgical work cannot be considered fully representative of the extensive mineralisation outlined, it is indicative of potential.

The majority of the Chiziro project is
covered by thick surficial deposits
including residual soils, alluvium and
colluvium which are believed to have
formed due to prolonged weathering
since mid-Tertiary.
The basement rocks are complexly
deformed but the pegmatite bodies
are massive and undeformed.
