Armadale starts graphite exploration programme at Tanzania mine

An exploration programme at dual-listed Armadale Capital’s Mahenge Liandu graphite project in Tanzania, aimed at upgrading its resource estimate, has kicked off. The project currently has an existing Joint Ore Reserves Committee-compliant inferred mineral resource estimate of 40.9-million tonnes at an average grade of 9.41% total graphitic content (TGC), of which at least 32-million tonnes has an average grade of 10.47% TGC. The exploration programme will include 2 500 m of reverse circulation drilling, while diamond drilling will be carried out to obtain representative core samples for additional metallurgical test work.
