JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Initial testwork at Armadale’s Mahenge Liandu graphite project, in Tanzania, continue sto indicate that it is capable of producing high-quality graphite concentrates, with possible expansion up to 480 cm³/g.

The Aim-listed company said the results further increase the range of potential commercial applications for the graphite, including the highly prospective battery market.

The project currently 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. 

Armadale is now preparing to start its 2 500 m diamond and reverse circulation drill programme in early May, with the aim to expand the size of the resource and enhance the category to indicated.
