Introduction
Mozambi Resources Limited (ASX: MOZ, “ Mozambi”, “the Company” ) is pleased to announce that very thick mineralisation has been extended to 1.2 km strike length and remains open to the north and the south at the Company’s major discovery Namangale. Excellent graphite intercepts from RC drilling returned multiple large intercepts up to 79m thickness of graphite mineralisation and diamond drilling produced exceptional results of up to 93.1m thickness from surface. The Company is delighted to confirm that all mineralisation intersected was either from surface or beginning at shallow depths. The majority of mineralisation was logged as “medium or high grade” with coarse flake graphite observed.
The drilling was conducted using a 160m by 400m spacing pattern and continued to intersect wide zones of graphite schist mineralisation. The drilling program is targeting a large EM anomaly, which has previously been defined and has a strike length of over 1,800m.
Managing Director Alan Armstrong said, “The Company is extremely excited to follow up on the initial discovery with further excellent thickness results on the next 3 lines drilled. The results confirm mineralisation occurs over a very substantial thickness from surface and our early modelling is showing a significant size graphite deposit at Namangale. The drilling program continues to be fast tracked in order to define a large tonnage JORC Resource in the coming months”.

Namangale RC Drilling Results Summary
48 RC holes for a total of 2,517 metres have now been drilled at the Namangale Prospect, with 34 RC holes intersecting graphite schist mineralisation. The mineralisation tested a large EM anomaly coincident with graphite schist outcrops. Where mineralisation was intersected, it was intercepted from surface or from shallow depths. Drilling is continuing with the remaining holes on the first 4 lines to be completed as pad construction is completed. Additional holes are also planned to the east of the most northern line where mineralisation remains open. Further drill lines to the north and south are also planned to test the northern and southern extent of the EM anomaly. Drilling was completed using vertical holes into the mineralisation which is interpreted to be flat lying but gently undulating based on both geological mapping and the results of the EM survey.
A summary of the results of the first 48 RC holes based on visual estimation carried out during the geological logging is provided in Appendix 1.
A map showing the location of the first four drill lines compared to the location of the ground EM anomaly for the Namangale Prospect is shown below in Figure 2 . The drilling program was primarily designed to test this EM anomaly which has now been confirmed to be a strong indicator of underlying graphite mineralisation and suggests the potential for further extension of the mineralisation is good. The EM anomaly is striking to the north east with a similar intensity to the area already drill tested suggesting good potential for further extensions.

Figure 2 RC Drill-Hole Location Map over the Ground EM Anomaly
A map of the drill hole collar locations showing the first four drill lines can be seen in Figure 3 . Substantial areas of graphite schist occur to the south of a large sandstone ridge, with less exposure to the south where there is limited outcrop. The current drill program has now tested 1.2 km of strike length, with mineralisation remaining open to both the north and the south. At least 2 more lines extending the strike length to 2km are planned in the current program. There remains potential for the deposit to continue further than 2km under cover to both the north and south.

A cross section across the line 800m south of the first line is provided in Figure 4. The cross section shows the two zones of mineralisation which are interpreted to be the result of gentle folding of a generally flat lying mineralised unit.

The interpretation shown above in Figure 4 shows good continuity with the interpretation in the first line drilled which is shown in Figure 5 below. Both interpretations show of gentle folding of a generally flat lying mineralised unit.

Expanded RC Drilling Program
Due to the exciting results observed in the current round of drilling, the Board of Mozambi Resources has resolved to increase the RC drilling program to complete at least another 2 drill lines to maximise the size of the resource with the current program of drilling. Figure 5 shows the RC rig drilling at the Namangale Prospect.

Namangale Diamond Core Drilling
Diamond drilling designed to get representative samples of the mineralisation at Namangale has now been completed. Two diamond holes, twinning holes NMRC0001 and NMRC0004 were drilled, with coarse flake mineralisation observed in the core. Graphite mineralisation was intersected near surface with widths of 93.1m and 71.2m respectively. These holes are currently being logged, cut and sampled before being sent for analysis, which will include graphitic carbon grade and flake size distribution. A summary of the Diamond Drilling results is displayed in Table 1 and an image of a sample of the core showing coarse flake graphite mineralisation is shown in Figure 6.

Chidya Diamond Core Drilling
Two short holes have also been completed at the Chidya prospect in order to obtain samples of graphite schist mineralisation from the prospect while RC drilling is focused at Namangale. The results were highly encouraging with large flake graphite mineralisation being intersected from near surface in both holes. Total depths were 47.7m and 23.5m. The holes were drilled vertically, into flat lying stratigraphy and are therefore expected to be close to the true width. Details of the drilling results are provided in Table 2 below. The core from the drilling is currently being cut and sampled prior to being submitted for metallurgical test work. An image of a sample of the core showing coarse flake mineralisation is shown in Figure 7 and the location of the drill holes is shown in Figure 8.

Existing Infrastructure
Mozambi Resources enjoys excellent infrastructure, with the deep-water Mtwara Port only 140km from the Namangale Prospect. Power and sealed roads are available 10km from the deposit location. The existing sealed road connects all the way to port. Figure 9 shows the port, which has existing present capacity of 400,000 metric tonnes per annum and could handle up to 750,000 metric tonnes per annum with the same number of berths if additional equipment is put in place for handling containerised traffic[i] . The port is currently heavily underutilised, with only approximately 34% of its existing capacity being utilised[ii] .

Placement
The previously announced placement of 50 million shares (with a 1:4 attaching MOZO option) to raise a total of $1.75 million has now been completed and shares issued. The additional funds raised will largely be employed in expanding the drill program at Namangale and funding the definition of JORC Resources at both Chiwata & Namangale. The additional funds also provide certainty around working capital for at least the next 12 months.
Conclusion
The board of Mozambi Resources considers the results to date indicate that the Namangale Prospect is rapidly emerging as a world class graphite deposit. A substantial width of graphite mineralisation has now been defined and it is occurring from surface or near surface on multiple lines over 1,200m in strike length. Diamond drill holes completed at the Prospect confirm the coarse flake nature of the graphite mineralisation. The company is also highly encouraged by very large flake mineralisation observed in the two diamond holes drilled at Chidya and looks forward to completing a program of RC drilling at the prospect after drilling at Namangale is completed. Further drilling and assay results will be reported as they come to hand.
