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 been completed. The results of the first eight trenches (CZTR001‐CZTR008) were reported to the ASX on the Wednesday 17 September 2014.
Assay results for the next three trenches (CZTR009‐CZTR011) have been received and are now reported.

Program Designed to Define Graphite Mineralisation
Globe undertook a trench programme of 17 trenches (CZTR001 – CZTR016 & CZTR005A) designed to define graphite mineralisation over a six kilometre strike. A total of 6,266 metres of trenching is complete.
The assays for the remaining three trenches (CZTR009‐ CZTR011) of the Main Trend have been returned and the results are considered encouraging (refer Table 1). The results from an extension Trench CZTR005A and the Musinda Trend trenches (CZTR012 – CZTR016) are yet to be received.
Summary of best graphite results
The trench assays returned to date demonstrate mineralisation of more than 5% TGC over approximately 4,000 metres of strike for the Main Trend, and remains open‐ended to the northeast. Within the 5% TGC envelope, five trenches contain one or more zones of higher grade mineralisation of greater than 8% TGC, (refer Table 1 : Assay Results and Figure 3). The best results over the Main Trend are listed below:
| Trench Identity | Selected | intervals of the best graphite mineralisation | intervals of the best graphite mineralisation | (in %TGC) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CZTR002 | 3m @ 13.9% | |||
| CZTR003 | 9m @ 13.7% | 3m @ 10.7% | ||
| CZTR004 | 4m@ 11.0% | 4m @ 11.9% | 15m @ 11.0% | 5m @ 12.4% |
| CZTR005 | 3m @ 12.2% | 4m @11.3% | 4m @11.7% | 4m @ 12.7% |
| CZTR006 | 13m @ 11.5% | |||
| CZTR007 | 4m @ 12.0% | 6m @ 10.3% | ||

Preliminary Mineralogical and Metallurgical Analysis
A single r o ck sample w as collected from the C hiziro proj e ct during the Chimutu t renching pr o gram and submitte d for prelim i nary miner a logical and metallurgic a l analysis. T his was undertaken to provide a prelimina r y indicatio n of the lik e ly econom i c potential of the pro j ect by est a blishing th e expected graphite product ty p e and the nature of p rocessing t echniques r equired fo r a potenti a l graphite operation at Chiziro.
Chiziro Flake Size is Indicatively 2‐4mm – Premium Value Product
Mineralo g ical analysis – involvi n g examination of poli s hed sectio n samples u sing a refl e cted light microsco p e – showe d that graphite is presen t as flakes g e nerally 2‐4 mm in leng t h. A photo m icrograph taken du r ing mineralogical examination is s h own in Figure 5. The presence o f these rela t ively large flakes su g gests that a graphite product cont a ining large f lakes is ach i evable by processing t h e Chimutu prospect m ineralisati o n. This has a marked e f fect on the v iability of a potential m ining proje c t, with the

price of large‐flake graphite products generally yielding significant premiums over small‐flake or amorphous graphite products.

Graphite Concentrate Grade 93%
A single stage rougher‐cleaner flotation test was undertaken where generic test conditions for graphite flotation were adapted. The results showed a concentrate grade of 92.8% TGC is achievable, indicating that a simple and generic graphite processing route is suitable for Chimutu mineralisation. Further metallurgical testwork will allow further development and optimisation of the process, thereby allowing for potential improvements in concentrate grade to be quantified as well as allow an undertstanding of the concentrate grade – graphite recovery relationship.
The sample on which this work was conducted, as well as the mineralogical and metallurgical results from testing cannot be considered representative of the Chimutu prospect mineralisation. The sample was selected on the basis that it appeared to be representative of graphite mineralisation in trenches, however the sample is limited to one sample. The sample is not representative for the extent mineralisation identified but indicative of potential.

Further Works
Globe has defined a large area of graphite mineralization with high enough grades and indicative metallurgical recovery that warrant further assessment for the possibility of commercial extraction. Globe has designed a drill program to define the tenor and extent of mineralization at depth and along strike and a representative metallurgical sampling program for the optimisation of processing techniques with larger scale test work and potential pilot plant. These programs will be subject to Board budget approval and the accessibility to the project area during the African wet season. The Globe Board has a policy of no exposure and no harm and is monitoring the health risks of its employees and contractors in Africa in consideration of its works programs.

| Mineral tenement and land tenure status • Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. • The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. |
Chiziro Graphite Project Exploration is conducted within EPL0299/10 which is 100% held by Globe Metals and Mining Ltd. The EPL covers an area of 1,098km2. The tenement is in good standing and no known impediments exist. |
| Exploration done by other parties • Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
A feasibility study concluded at Katengeza prospect during the early 1990s (though the workers could not be established) delineated 2 700 000 t of graphite ore averaging 5.8% carbon (157 000t contained carbon) and of this resource 1 700 000 t is proven. The methodology applied during resource estimation remains unknown and it does not comply with best practice international standards, e.g., JORC, NI43‐101. In 1995 Little Belt Consulting Services on behalf of Industrix (Malawi) and Cachet (Canada) estimated 1 300 000 t probable and 650 000 t proven in Chimutu prospect. Compliance with criteria for public reporting of mineral resources and mineral reserves could not be verified and it does not comply with best practice international standards, e.g., JORC, NI43‐101. |
| Geology • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
The licence area is underlain by gneisses, schists and granulites which belong to the Basement Complex, and forming part of the Malawi Province of the Mozambique belt. Graphitic granulites and graphitic schists have been mapped throughout the licence area. This basement package was intruded by pegmatite bodies (dykes and sills). Metamorphosed mafic and ultramafic rocks have been observed in very few areas. Field evidence has supported that the basement rocks were subjected to upper amphibolite metamorphism as well asgranulite |
