Name and Location
Chilalo graphite project, Tanzania.

Client
IMX Resources.

Project Description
A high-level study on Chilalo has concluded that the project has the criteria for a successful graphite operation.

The study has indicated that the project has high-grade mineral resources of 7.4-million tonnes grading 10.7% terragrams of carbon for 792 000 t of contained graphite for the project’s Shimba deposit. The project also has excellent metallurgical characteristics, with initial testwork results showing a significant proportion of high-value large and jumbo flake material, as well as the capacity to produce a high-quality concentrate from basic flotation.

Net Present Value/Internal Rate of Return
Still to be determined.

Value
Still to be determined.

Duration

Latest Developments
The positive study outcome, together with the memorandum of understanding signed with China-Base Ningbo, has laid the foundations for a successful graphite project.

IMX says, with the funding now in place, and the company’s recent capital raising, it is in a strong position to rapidly advance the project to the prefeasibility study stage that will focus on a small-scale 25 000 t/y to 50 000 t/y operation.

Key Contracts and Suppliers
None stated.

On Budget and on Time?
