Project Description
Testwork results received from graphite concentrate samples at Mahenge Liandu have demonstrated the commercial viability of graphite mineralisation at the project.

Initial expandability testwork conducted on a 150 g sample of graphite concentrates from the project has shown encouraging expandability, especially in the larger-size fractions, including 480 cm³/g > 500 µm, 420 cm³/g > 500 µm and 380 cm³/g > 180 µm.

The project has a high-grade Joint Ore Reserves Committee-compliant inferred mineral resource estimate of 40.9-million tonnes at 9.41% total graphitic content (TGC), of which at least 32-million tonnes has an average grade of 10.47% TGC.
