MR TIM MCMANUS CEO:
We’ve had a much stronger quarter with production, sales and revenue setting several records post commissioning at Graphmada. Crucially post investment at site, Graphmada is now consistently producing at the critical 94% Fixed Carbon (FC) and will average at or above 94% FC for the June Quarter.
With this funding package Bass is undertaking exploration aiming for additional Mineral Resources to underpin plans for the future development of large-scale mining and processing operations. This will commence with extensive drilling at Mahela and tabling the results of the recently completed drill program at Mahefedok.
In parallel we look forward to continued improvement at Graphmada and anticipate growing revenues, production tonnes and sales over the coming quarter and beyond.
