Project Description
Testwork results received from graphite concentrate samples at Mahenge Liandu have demonstrated the commercial viability of graphite mineralisation at the project.
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 carbon (TGC), of which at least 32-million tonnes has an average grade of 10.47% TGC.

Latest Developments
Armadale has announced positive results from testwork completed on a bulk sample from the Mahenge Liandu project.
The results have confirmed that high-quality graphite concentrates can be produced using a conventional flotation circuit. Previous testwork has confirmed that the concentrates from the project are readily upgraded to suit the rapidly expanding lithium-ion and expandable graphite markets. Now that larger quantities of concentrates are available, Armadale will progress further downstream testwork and provide samples for potential offtake partners.
A reverse circulation drilling programme aimed at significantly increasing the size of the deposit is planned for the second quarter of 2018.
Following the completion of a scoping study in early 2018, a feasibility study will be undertake with the objective of reaching a decision to mine in the near term.
