Exploration Update
Exploration on site has now recommenced with further geological mapping, rock chip sampling and ground geophysics now underway at the Chiwata Prospect. The ground geophysics being undertaken includes a ground magnetic survey. This survey will be followed by ground EM surveys over the prospect which is expected to identify areas of higher grade graphite mineralisation. The current exploration program is expected to help plan a 2000 - 3000m drilling program over the prospect.
Further results of the rock chip sampling and any additional trenching will be announced as they are received by the Company.
The Company is also investigating the potential to use an airborne EM survey to quickly identify additional concealed graphite mineralisation quickly over a wide area on multiple tenements.
Managing Director, Alan Armstrong commented “We are very pleased to re-commence exploration work and look forward to commencing drilling at the Chiwata Prospect where wide zones of outcropping and sub cropping graphite mineralisation have been identified”
“We are very encouraged by the continued excellent results by ASX listed company Magnis (ASX:MNS) approximately 60 km to the north of our Project”.
