Caninde Graphite Project
The Company has acquired an 80% interest in the Caninde Graphite Project located in Ceara State, Brazil.
The project area covers15,600 Ha high grade metamorphic lithologies that are host to bodies of both disseminated and massive flake graphite mineralization. Multiple prospects identified, sampled and trenched.
Analytical results for surface grab rock chip samples as high as 42.04% Cg.
Aggressive drilling programme planned to commence in the first quarter of 2015.
