The exploration, using surface trenching and sampling, targets three bands of graphitic schist at the Epanko North prospects of the project. First pass mapping claimed to have verified that the mine holds the nearly 2 km long northern extension.
Situated in the Northern sector, Ndololo Graphite Prospect is also being subject to surface trenching and sampling. The objective here is to assess the holes drilled by Kibaran earlier and establish the potential strike, thickness and lateral extensions.
Occupying over 292 km² of the best Tanzanian graphite, geological features indicate high chances for the discovery of more graphite mineralization along with metallurgical properties. This has been corroborated by significant rock chip sampling and RC drilling that reveal high-grade graphite veins.
August 2014 end will see the completion of onsite geological due diligence, mapping, sampling and trenching with the test results of the trenching and rock chip samples available early September for review and disclosure.
Project completion will depend on the approval of Green Rock shareholders.
