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.
Seventeen trenches have been completed and the assays have been returned for the first eight (CZTR001‐CZTR008). The trenches targeted graphite mineralisation identified by a geological exploration programme, the results of which were reported to the ASX on 25th June 2014.
Highlights
-
Five of the eight trenches, with received assays intersected more than 25 metres of graphite mineralisation and greater than 8% Total Graphitic Carbon (TGC).
-
Three trenches demonstrated intersections of more than 100 metres with the wide at a grade exceeding 5% TGC with the widest intersection of 253m @ 5.4%TGC.
-
The 17 trenches completed have defined visible graphite mineralisation over six kilometres in strike length. Current assay results confirm graphite mineralisation greater than a 3,000 metre strike length.
-
Geological interpretation of the trenches confirms two main trends; named the “Main Trend” and the “Musinda Trend”.
-
Based on current results, Globe is planning a diamond drilling programme to test the depth of graphite mineralisation at Chimutu before year end, subject to Board approval.
-
Globe has commenced mineralogical testwork and is assessing infrastructure and logistics options for a potential mining operation.
-
Globe is assessing other graphite prospects within the Chiziro Graphite Project licence area.

Geological logging of t he trenche s confirms t h e existence of two grap h ite mineral i sed trends, named the Main and Musinda tr e nds. The tr e nch assays returned to date have d emonstrat e d mineralis a tion more than 5% T GC over ap p roximately 3 ,000 metr e s of strike f o r the Main T rend, and r e mains ope n ‐ended to the north e ast.
Within th e 5% TGC envelope, fiv e trenches c ontain one or more zo n es of high e r grade mineralisation greater t h an 8% TGC (refer Table 1 & Figure 3). All the t r ench assay s are expect e d to be co m pleted in the last q u arter of 20 1 4.

| 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). _ |
N/A |
|---|---|
| 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. |
N/A |
| 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. • The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
All trenches were geologically logged following Globe Metals and Mining procedures. |
| 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. |
• Field Duplicates were collected from all trenches averaging an interval spacing of 50 samples. At BV the samples were sorted, dried and weighed. Primary preparation involved crushing the whole sample. Sample splitting was done through a riffle splitter to obtain a sub‐fraction later pulverised in a vibrating pulveriser. |
| 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. |
All channel samples were assayed for TGC at the ISO 17025 accredited Bureau Veritas Inspectorate Laboratories Pty Ltd in South Africa. Internal Laboratory Standards were assayed every 25 samples and Internal Repeats were performed on every 16 samples. Quality control procedures adopted by BV are considered to be adequate. |
7
==> picture [141 x 51] intentionally omitted <==
| 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. |
Globe Metals and Mining geologists will verify all graphite intersections in the field before back‐filling of trenches. Geological data was initially collected on paper logs. The collected field data was entered by the Exploration geologist into MS Excel spread sheets and emailed to the GIS and Database Geologist in Perth for collation and storage. This data was categorised into: Coordinates, Sample inventory, and Geologylog. |
|---|---|
| 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. |
The start point of all trenches was initially determined using a Garmin GPS. Later all trenches were resurveyed by DGPS to an accuracy of 0.01 metre. The grid system is UTM Zone 36 Southern Hemisphere (WGS84) Points along trenches were also surveyed for height asl to 0.01 metre by DGPS. The azimuth of the trenches was determined using a compass. Sampling locations along trenches were determined bymeasuringtape. |
| Data spacing and distribution • Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. • Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. • Whether sample compositing has been applied. |
The trenches are at 400m spacing and samples were collected at 1m interval in graphitic zones and at 2 m interval in zones considered to be non‐ mineralised or not of economic interest (medium grained graphite, etc.). |
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure • Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. • If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. |
• Trenching was conducted across two geological structures: Main Zone and Musinda Zone. The former strikes NE‐ SW and the trenches were oriented perpendicular to the structure. Musinda Zone trends north‐south and the trenches run east‐west. |
| Sample security • The measures taken to ensure sample security. |
Chain of custody for Globe Metals and Mining trench samples was managed in the field by the geology manager. Samples were collected from the Lilongwe office in Malawi by MANICA (a freight company in Malawi) for delivery to Bureau Veritas in South Africa. |
| Audits or reviews • The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. |
No audit of data has been completed to date. |

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 |
