International Graphite Limited has added yet another tranche of strong assay results from ongoing drilling at its Springdale Graphite Project in Western Australia.
Assay results from 12 diamond (for 962 metres) and 39 reverse circulation infill holes (for 2,421 metres) have confirmed the interpreted high-grade graphite domains and support the block model performance of the existing Springdale Graphite Project Mineral Resource Estimate.
Managing Director and CEO Andrew Worland said: “Every phase of our drill program at Springdale has identified either new areas of high-grade mineralisation or confirmed the existing high-grade zones.
“These diamond drill results give us great confidence about the quality and potential of the Springdale resource and its capacity to sustain a shallow, long life open pit mining operation.
“The data from this drilling provides key geological input that will be used in the next stage of resource modelling as we progress mining studies and feasibility assessment.”
