PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Operations and resource definition drilling have restarted at ASX-listed Metals of Africa’s Balama Central graphite project, in Mozambique.

The company last week halted operations following the death of an exploration geologist at the camp.

It said on Monday that an autopsy had confirmed that the geologist had died of natural causes.

Drilling at Balama Central, which was aimed at defining a Joint Ore Reserves Committee-compliant maiden resource, was expected to continue until the onset of the wet season in mid-December.
