The company has appointed Mitchell Drilling to carry out the drilling program, which will run for around six weeks.
Two drill rigs will be used to simultaneously drill the project. It is estimated that around 20 holes will be drilled as part of the program.
The company is targeting shallow mineralization with an average end-of-hole depth of 100m.
Metals of Africa managing director Cherie Leeden said: "We are eager to be embarking on this round of drilling with the aim of defining a maiden resource at our 100% owned Montepuez project.
"There is more graphite contained within this small province than the rest of the world’s resources combined, it’s an extremely rich and unique corridor of geology and our projects are very well positioned within it."
