Quarterly Report – Quarter Ended 30 September 2015

Mozambi Resources Limited (ASX: MOZ, Company or MOZ ) provides the following update on activities undertaken for the quarter ended 30 September 2015, which includes activities up until the date of reporting:

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Acquisition and granting of all 11 applied tenements for a total of 1,955km[2 ] completed

  • 4 key graphite prospects identified, namely Chiwata, Masasi, Chidya and Namangale

  • Geological mapping and ground EM surveys completed on Chiwata, Chidya and Namangale

  • Chiwata RC drilling commenced with 21 RC holes for 1,156 metres being completed. 20 of the 21 holes intersected graphite mineralisation with thicknesses of mineralisation typically between 10 – 20 metres

  • Chiwata diamond drill hole commenced. Visual identification of 3mm – 4mm graphite flake sizes in core

  • Discovery of major new graphite deposit at Namangale. Drilling of 12 RC holes at 160m spacing was completed. Multiple large intercepts up to 100m thickness of graphite mineralisation, with several drill holes remaining open at depth

  • RC Drilling is continuing at Namangale and planning for drilling at Chidya and Masasi is now underway

  • Company’s existing exploration program fully funded from raising over $3.2 million during the quarter

OPERATIONS

Nachingwea Graphite Project, Tanzania

During the quarter, Mozambi Resources Limited (ASX: MOZ, Mozambi, Company ) made significant advances in the Nachingwea Graphite Project located in the south east of Tanzania. These activities have confirmed the highly prospective nature of the MOZ tenements for medium to high-grade graphite mineralisation with coarse flake graphite.

MOZ completed the signing of a Terms Sheet on 18 August, 2015, that provided 100% acquisition (increased from 99%) of Nachi Resources Limited (“Nachi”). Under the terms, MOZ was granted an option to acquire up to 18 tenements that make up the Nachingwea Project. Under the terms of the Terms Sheet, MOZ has selected 7 key applications for acquisition, which have now been converted into prospecting licences PL10642, PL10643, PL 10644, PL10665, PL10666, PL10667 and PL10668. MOZ exercised the option on 24 August 2015.

A further 4 applications were acquired on 9 September 2015, these have now been granted with the following PL numbers PL10716, PL10717, PL10718 and PL10719.

All 11 Tenements were confirmed as granted by the Tanzanian Ministry of Energy and Minerals which extended the MOZ tenement holding to a total of 1,955km[2] . Within these tenements, MOZ has identified four key prospects, Chiwata, Masasi, Chidya and Namangale (See Figure 1 ).

Exploration activities commenced immediately with geological mapping, rock chip sampling and ground geophysics at the Masasi and Chiwata Prospects.

Chiwata (PL10644) Prospect, Nachingwea Project

The Chiwata Prospect is located in the southwest corner of PL10644. Trenching was completed during the quarter and identified that the graphite schist has a visible width of between 1.5 – 15 metres, but the proportion of outcrop is low. Previous exploration has identified a lateral strike of over 1,000m.

A sample from the Chiwata prospect was taken for analysis of grade and graphite flake size distribution. The results from sample NG01 is presented in Table 1.

+300 Microns +150 – 300Microns -150 Microns
NG01 7.9% 36.2% 56.0% 7.7%

Further sampling at Chiwata returned average grades of 7.2% total graphitic carbon (“tgc”) from pits into fresh mineralisation and 7.6% tgc from rock chips. Within trenches several higher-grade zones were recorded, returning an average grade of 6.1% tgc, including 4m @ 7.9%, 16m @ 5.9% and 7m @ 5.4% tgc[1] .

A ground electromagnetic (“EM”) survey was completed over the Chiwata prospect in October and results indicated that graphite mineralisation continued along strike of the known outcropping mineralisation extending the exploration targets to 7km strike length.

21 RC holes for a total of 1,156 metres were completed on the Chiwata prospect with 20 holes intercepting shallow graphite mineralisation. Three lines were drill tested covering 800m strike length.

Intersected thicknesses of mineralisation were typically between 10 – 20 metres. Mineralisation is open to the east and the west of the current drill pattern. Mineralisation is interpreted to get thicker to the east where intercepts of 23m and 25m were returned. The drilling intercepts are included in Table 2. Assays results are pending.

Masasi (PL10643) Prospect, Nachingwea Project

Located in the eastern portion of Tenement PL10642 the Masasi Prospect outcrops on a small ridge. Trenching was completed during the quarter and demonstrated that the deposit strikes south west with visible graphite schist approximately 40-50m in width.

A sample from the Masasi prospect was taken for analysis and graphite flake size distribution. The results from sample NG06 is presented in Table 4 Table 3.

Rock chip sampling at the Masasi prospect resulted in an average grade of 7.1% tgc with trenching resulting in a wide zone of 66m @ 4% tgc including 16m @ 5.5%, 14m @ 5.2% and 8m @ 5.1% tgc[3] .

Namangale Prospect, Nachingwea Project (PL10718)

A total of 16.8 line km of ground EM was surveyed at Namangale prospect during October. The survey revealed a significant area of high conductivity coincident with mapped outcrops of graphite schist. The surveyed anomaly appears to comprise three sub parallel conductive units covering an area of 1.8km by 800 metres. This was the high priority target for the first phase of drilling.

3 Refer to ASX announcement “Preliminary results show high grade, jumbo flake graphite”, 13 August 2015.

A single section of 12 RC bore holes at 160m spacing was completed on the Namangale prospect. This drilling returned multiple large intercepts up to 100m thickness of graphite mineralisation, with several drill holes remaining open at depth.

A summary of the results of the first 12 holes based on visual estimation carried out during the geological logging is provided in Table 4 below.

Two zones of mineralisation have been identified - the first 960m in width averaging 71m in thickness and the other 640m in width averaging 41m in thickness (see Figure 5 ). The drilling completed has targeted a large EM anomaly, which has previously been defined and has a strike length of over 1,800m[4] .
