Maniry Graphite Grades Look To Be World Class
BlackEarth Minerals NL’s (ASX: BEM) latest high-grade assay results have extended the recently announced high grade intersections at Razafy Northwest prospect at the Maniry Graphite Project located in southern Madagascar.
Highlights:
Previously reported intersections have now been extended and include:
- 32.7m at 16.3%TGC (from 5m) including 15.3m at 25.2%TGC – 39.9m at 9.4% TGC (from 3m) including 16.0m at 14.12%TGC
- 38.2m at 11.9% TGC (from surface) – 25.8m at 12.9%TGC (from 17m)
- Preliminary metallurgical test work has produced concentrate with elevated grades up to 98.4%TGC
Managing Director, Tom Revy, said final results from the Razafy Northwest drilling campaign are expected shortly and an announcement made early October.
The results will be used to update the company’s Resource inventory which will be released to the market in Q4, 2021.
Preliminary metallurgical test work at ALS Perth, involved the testing of six samples produced from the diamond drilling program at Razafy Northwest.
Head grades ranged from 3.64% to 20.82%TGC. First pass metallurgical test work showed excellent results, with initial flotation tests achieving high grade concentrate 98.4%TGC with recoveries generally above 90%.
“These latest results demonstrate the enormous potential value that exists in the northwest area,” Mr Revy said.
“The increased widths, continuity of high grade and metallurgical results show that the Maniry deposit (which includes the Razafy and Razafy NW areas) is comparable to the best projects in the world.
“Given the Project’s sensitivity to feed grade, the results attained to date from the Razafy Northwest area, have the potential to significantly enhance our total Project economics.”
