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%

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

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.

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

facies.
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.
