Entdeckung von Graphit und Vanadium durch Energizer Resources führt zu Vertrag mit Afrikas führendem Bergbauprojektentwickler, DRA Mineral Projects, zur Entwicklung des Green Giant Project in Madagaskar
Pressemitteilung - 25. Januar 2012
Nach der Bestätigung der Entdeckung von zwei strategischen Mineralien, Vanadium und Graphit, befindet sich Energizer Resources Inc. (TSX: EGZ) (OTCBB: ENZR) (FWB: YE5) ('Energizer' oder das 'Unternehmen') nun in einer guten Position, um mit den Erschließungsarbeiten für den Abbau fortzufahren. Diese Bestätigung für eine wesentliche Menge an Graphit und die NI 43-101 entsprechende Vanadium-Ressource des Unternehmens, sowie deren entsprechende Bedeutung für die Grünen Energie und die neuen, bahnbrechenden Produkte beschleunigen nun die Entwicklung.
Die Entdeckungen von Energizer versetzen das Unternehmen im Bereich der Mineralindustrie in eine einzigartige Position - man ist in der Lage, zwei strategische Minerale aus einer Quelle anzubieten. Das Unternehmen ist außerdem der Meinung, dass seine Graphitentdeckung die weltweit erste Neuentdeckung dieses wichtigen industriellen Minerals ist. Die Bedeutung von Graphit zeigt sich jetzt in der Verwendung in einer Vielzahl von neuen Anwendungen. Außerhalb Chinas haben sich Unternehmen darauf konzentriert, frühere Produktionsstätten wiederzueröffnen, um so die erwartete Nachfrage befriedigen zu können.
Graphit ist ein fest etabliertes und bedeutendes industrielles Mineral. Die neuen Anwendungen von Graphit in elektrischen Fahrzeugen, Hightech-Heimelektronik und in der Kernenergie, sowie die neue Wahrnehmung der einschichtigen Form, d.h. Graphen, als das Wundermaterial steigern jedoch auch die Nachfrage nach Graphit.
Für Graphit und Vanadium wird für das nächste Jahrzehnt ein starkes Wachstum bei den herkömmlichen Anwendungen (hauptsächlich in der Stahlindustrie) vorhergesagt. Hier sind es aber auch gerade diese neuen Anwendungen und Entwicklungen, sowie deren resultierende Nachfrage, die eine Entwicklung des Green Giant Project (das 'Projekt') vorantreiben.
Ein weiterer wichtiger Punkt in Bezug auf Graphit und Vanadium ist der China-Faktor. Auch wenn das Land 75 % der weltweiten Graphitförderung erzeugt, scheint es doch, dass die Rohstofflieferung in China rasant abnimmt und auch eine geringere Qualität zeigt. Einstmals war China der größte Exporteur von Graphit; mittlerweile ist man der größte Importeur. Es wurden ein Exportzoll von 20 % und eine Mehrwertsteuer von 17 % auferlegt, und es wurden in diesem Jahr zwei staatseigene Unternehmen geschlossen, um die Graphitressourcen zu schonen.
Energizer steht in der ersten Reihe bei der Bestimmung von Anwendungen für Vanadium, z.B. die wichtige Rolle als ein 'Supercharger' für Batterien in Kombination mit Lithium, und die laufenden Weiterentwicklungen und der Einsatz von Vanadium-Redox-Flow-Batterien (VFBs) durch so bekannte Unternehmen wie Ashlawn Energy in den USA und Cellstrom GmbH in Deutschland.
Wir waren Zeuge der Weiterentwicklung von VFBs, deren Kosten sich dank Fördermitteln seitens der Regierung von Kosten um 22 Cent pro Kilowattstunde (kWh) pro Zyklus noch vor einem Jahr auf mittlerweile ca. 11 Cent pro kWh pro Zyklus verringert haben.
Ashlawn Energy, das beabsichtigt, in diesem Jahr Nordamerikas größte VFB (8 Megawattstunden) in Painesville, Ohio, zu installieren, ist ein Vorreiter bei der Kostenreduzierung von VFBs. Ashlawn Energy erwartet Kosten von weniger als 9 Cent pro kWh pro Zyklus innerhalb der nächsten 18 Monate. Bei einem Bereich von weniger als 9 Cent pro kWh würde dies den aktuellen Kosten von den heutigen Legacy-Backup-Power-Systemen entsprechen, den Rückzahlzeitraum verkürzen und den wirtschaftlichen Antrieb für die Kommerzialisierung von VFBs darstellen.
Offizieller Vertrag mit führendem Bergbauentwicklungsunternehmen - DRA Mineral Projects - unterzeichnet
Vor diesem Hintergrund ist Energizer der Meinung, dass der Zeitpunkt für die Fortführung des Projekts ausgezeichnet sei. Daher freut sich das Unternehmen, bekanntgeben zu können, dass es einen offiziellen Vertrag mit dem südafrikanischen Unternehmen DRA Mineral Projects, einem weltweit führenden Verfahrenstechnik- und Bergbauentwicklungs- und Managementunternehmen, für die Entwicklung von industriellen Mineralprojekten in Madagaskar abgeschlossen hat. Das besondere Augenmerk liegt hierbei auf der Entwicklung von Vanadium- und Graphitmineralen auf den Liegenschaften Green Giant und Malagasy Minerals JV von Energizer.
Vom Entwurf zur fertigen Mine
DRA wird zum technischen Partner von Energizer ernannt. Als ein Anbieter von vollumfänglichen Planungs-, Beschaffungs- und Aufbaumanagementdienstleistungen (EPCM) bietet DRA für Energizer die Fähigkeit zum Aufbau und auch zum Betrieb eines Bergbaubetriebs, und somit eine vollumfängliche Lösung.
Mit diesen Erfahrungen übt das Schlüsselpersonal von DRA direkte Rollen in der Entwicklung des Projekts in Madagaskar aus und ist für die Schaffung von Gesprächsmöglichkeiten und Schnittstellen mit der madagassischen Regierung und den Hauptinteressensparteien im Projekt Sakoa Coal in Hinblick auf die Entwicklung der Infrastruktur und die Bestimmung von jedweden synergistischen Möglichkeiten verantwortlich.
Johann de Bruin, Director von DRA Mineral Projects, sagt dazu: 'DRA hat in den vergangenen sechs Jahren die Entwicklung der Mineralindustrie in Madagaskar mit großem Interesse verfolgt und dabei eine Reihe von Machbarkeitsstudien für mehrere mögliche Projekte auf der Insel durchgeführt. Es ist offensichtlich, dass Madagaskar der globalen Mineralindustrie viel zu bieten hat. Aufgrund der Sicherung der politischen Lage, der Verpflichtung zur Entwicklung der Infrastruktur und der kontinuierlichen weltweiten Nachfrage nach den madagassischen Mineralien wird erwartet, dass hier eine Reihe von Projekten in Angriff genommen wird. DRA erachtet das Vorhandensein dieser Mineralien, z.B. Graphit, Vanadium und zukünftige Wundermaterialien wie Graphen, als wesentlicher Bestandteil für Anwendungen wie elektrische Fahrzeuge, Energiespeicherung und Hightech als vielversprechend und ist daher sehr erfreut darüber, mit Energizer Resources eine Beziehung eingegangen zu sein.'
Kirk McKinnon, CEO von Energizer: 'Diese Zusammenarbeit mit DRA ist von wesentlicher Bedeutung, denn dadurch hat Energizer Zugang zu Experten, die über alle Fähigkeiten verfügen, die für eine Fortführung unseres Projekts zur Bergbauentwicklung erforderlich sind, wobei mit der Regierung zusammengearbeitet wird und das Wissen der Experten in Bezug auf die Infrastruktur durch deren Einblicke in das Projekt Sakoa Coal genutzt werden kann. Wir sind auch erfreut darüber, dass die fortlaufende Projektentwicklung von Energizer für die Einwohner von Madagaskar in dieser Region Arbeitsplätze schaffen wird und eine umfassende Erweiterung der Infrastruktur mit sich bringen wird. Das Unternehmen hat mehr als 100 Ansässige in den Explorationsprogrammen beschäftigt und dabei festgestellt, dass diese sehr fleißig sind. DRA ist in der Lage, die eigenen Fähigkeiten beim Wachstum des Projekts einzubringen, und wird weiterhin weitere Ressourcen und Infrastrukturverbesserungen in der Region schaffen. Das Hauptziel von Energizer liegt nur in der gemeinsamen Verbindung mit und Suche nach wichtigen strategischen Partnern und Projektfinanzierungen. Gegenwärtig ist das Unternehmen finanziell gut aufgestellt, um die wichtigen Projektmeilensteine erreichen zu können, darunter auch der Abschluss der vorläufigen wirtschaftlichen Bewertung (Preliminary Economic Assessment - PEA-Studie)'.
Wichtige Punkte des Vertrags
* Exklusivität mit DRA bei der Entwicklung von Vanadium- und Graphitmineralprojekten in der geografischen Region Madagaskar.
* Management und Überwachung der Entwicklung der erforderlichen metallurgischen Untersuchungen und zur Sicherstellung der Machbarkeit über eine vorläufige wirtschaftliche Bewertung (PEA), Vormachbarkeitsstudie (PFS) oder Profit-Machbarkeitsstudie (BFS) für die potentiellen Bergbauprojekte.
* Erstellung von Präsentationen für den Vorstand von Energizer, potentielle Investoren und Partner zur Aktualisierung dieser Beteiligten in Bezug auf den Fortschritt der Projekte, entweder während der Studie oder während der Implementierungsphasen des Projekts.

VP of Business Development Brent Nykoliation tells ResourceClips.com, “At 118 metres of 6.24% carbon, this is an excellent result. We have 17 zones. We’ve drilled seven of those zones, and the assays will be coming back over the next few weeks.
“We’ve identified what we believe to be a graphite camp. We can say that because we’ve identified 17 distinct graphitic zones, we have a cumulative strike length of over 320 kilometres. That’s absolutely massive. We already had a delineated vanadium resource of almost 60 million tonnes. That was in our original property of 21 kilometres and that vanadium represents only about 20% of our 21-kilometre trend. Then on top of that we increased our vanadium trend by about 50 kilometres.
“Our joint venture property with Malagasy Minerals MGY surrounds our original property on three sides. We hold a 75% interest in the JV and we’re the project operator.
“The JV property is significant for two reasons,” Nykoliation says. “First, we knew the vanadium was going to travel south of our border, so we made the deal to secure the extension of the vanadium. But second, we also found that graphite was in our vanadium trend. So in our 100%-owned property we have about 3.8% graphitic carbon with the vanadium. At that point, we understood that we had graphite on the property and much higher grades in areas that were exclusively graphite and no vanadium. Those areas have now been defined.
“Our property went from 21 kilometres to 120 kilometres long, and we have tied up about 75% to 80% of a very significant zone in southern Madagascar which is known for very rich graphite and vanadium,” he reports.
“There’s no other company and no other place we know of that has a graphite discovery of this magnitude—a cumulative 320 kilometres. There’s graphite and vanadium all over the place. As our VP of Exploration Craig Scherba says, it’s very rare to find those two together. So we have two strategic minerals in one source.
“We’re moving very quickly to delineate a 43-101 resource on the graphite. We need to determine where in the 17 zones we’ll delineate that resource. Madagascar has a rainy season that usually ends in March or April, and we anticipate getting back in April or May. We expect to have a 43-101 resource by July or August of this year. We expect to have a PEA completed probably by September or October, and then we’ll be in a position to have a bankable feasibility, along with a pilot plant project that would start earlier, by December of this year.
“The reason we can fast track this is our partnership with DRA Mineral Projects, Africa’s leading mine development firm,” he emphasizes. “DRA runs 29 mines around the world. They run mines for Xstrata, Rio Tinto RIO, Vale, and now they’re partnering with us. They’re the ones who’ll do our PEA and our bankable. In 18 to 24 months, assuming we hit all our timelines, we could have a mine open up. DRA could be our total engineering, construction, procurement and management solution for mines.
“So the question is, are we a vanadium company with a graphite credit or a graphite company with a vanadium credit? The answer is, we don’t know yet.
“The capex on a graphite mine is much lower than on a vanadium mine. So graphite might be the springboard to get the mine open. Then the revenue from that would help fund our vanadium operation,” he says.
“The vanadium and graphite are very close. In some cases they’re together, in other cases they’re a trend over from each other. So we could definitely mine two strategic commodities from one source. For shareholders, that means the opportunity for off-take agreements with multiple partners. We’re in a position to supply both the steel market and the battery market. We’re already in discussions with possible offtake partners.
“Our location is another huge advantage,” Nykoliation adds. “We’re close to the Chinese market. We’re perfectly situated for South Africa, one of the largest vanadium consumers in the world. We are ideally situated for Europe. Madagascar is an extremely mining-friendly jurisdiction. But it also has location, location, location.”
Nykoliation concludes, “We have a dual offering—two strategic minerals, one source. We have a very large project, and we’re fast-tracking it. We have a great partner in DRA and a great location in Madagascar. We’re uniquely situated in the market.”

In Deutschland liest man noch relativ wenig über Graphit und seine Zukunftsbedeutung. Dabei ist Graphit anscheined der ZAubertrank für die Enrgiewirtschaft. Grafitschaum zur Energiegewinnung und Vanadium / Graphit Batterien mit einem tollen Wirkungsgrad bei relativ günstigen Preisen. Auch Lithium / Graphit gibt Batterien mit Eigenschaften, die reinen Lithium Ionen BAtterien weit überlegen sind.
TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 03/26/12 -- Energizer Resources Inc. (TSX: EGZ)(OTCBB: ENZR)(FRANKFURT: YE5) ("Energizer" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received positive initial metallurgical test results from its Green Giant Project in Madagascar and that DRA Mineral Projects has made an equity investment into the Company.
Graphite ore samples from the Fotsy and Molo zones were submitted to the North Carolina State University (NCSU) Minerals Research Laboratory in Asheville, North Carolina for preliminary evaluations to define potential for recovery of commercial products. Simple mechanical crushing with no flotation yielded flake sizes of +50 mesh, which according to Tom Burkett, Vice President of Graphite Materials & Systems at SGL Carbon Group - the world's largest carbon company - is regarded by the industry as jumbo flake. Both ores have produced graphite concentrates at purities of +90%.
Both samples were subjected to beneficiation that included crushing, grinding, and various flotation schemes. A +50-mesh grind was utilized for the majority of the testing to achieve a high degree of liberation while maintaining a particle size that would be attractive to the marketplace. This testing recovered graphite in the form of oversize products at +50 mesh and flotation concentrates.
Data is still being processed and an initial report will be forthcoming by the NCSU complete with conclusions, recommendations, flake distribution summary and a preliminary process flow sheet.
Green Giant Outlines Extensive Graphite Zones
Energizer's Senior Vice President of Exploration, Craig Scherba, P. Geol., commented, "We are very pleased with these initial results. With the confirmation of jumbo flake graphite and +90% purity, Energizer has now met two more thresholds and when combined with our exploration results to date, make our Green Giant project quite unique in the marketplace. We have multiple zones with mineralization at surface, high grades, wide intersections and strike lengths that can be measured in kilometers, not meters. We are outlining a graphite camp."
To date, Energizer's Green Giant and JV Property contains 17 separate and distinct graphite zones, seven of which have been drill tested. The culmination of drilling, trenching, geophysics, geologic mapping and prospecting have confirmed graphite mineralization in all tested zones to be at surface, open along strike and at depth.
Drill assays have been received so far from two zones, the Fondrana and the Fotsy, showing high grades and extensive widths (FOND-01: 6.24% C over 118.6 meters; FOND-TH-11-01: 7.11%C over 106 meters; FOTSY-TH-11-05A: 9.93%C over 10 meters). Initial assay results are expected shortly from the Molo and Seta zones.
DRA Makes Initial Equity Investment in Energizer
The Company is also pleased to announce that a private placement transaction has been concluded with DRA Africa Pty Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of DRA Mineral Projects ("DRA") who has recently become a technical partner of Energizer (see January 25, 2012 news release).
Johann de Bruin, Pr.Eng, and Director of DRA commented, "Our current understanding of the quality of the graphite within the tenements as well as our understanding of the logistics associated with the development of a mine in the Southern part of Madagascar gives us enough confidence in the Green Giant Graphite and Vanadium project to justify moving forward with an equity investment in Energizer Resources. This represents a further commitment to the project and solidifies our relationship with Energizer since being appointed as their technical partner. It is our intention to increase our equity position as funds and test work analyses become available in accordance with the MOU. We look forward to supporting Energizer Resources in bringing this project to implementation and operation."
Kirk McKinnon of Energizer stated, "We are very pleased that DRA has decided to invest in Energizer. It certainly reflects their belief in our project and further strengthens our relationship. Their role of technical partner is a key factor in our ability to move the project from resource definition to production within a very short timeframe. As the importance of graphite continues to manifest itself, speed to market will become increasingly important in order to maximize shareholder value."
DRA has subscribed for 2,540,000 common shares of Energizer for gross proceeds of $635,000 USD. This results in DRA having an equity position of 1.6%. Under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU"), DRA has the right to acquire up to a 5% equity position in Energizer. Future private placements will be done at market conditions. The transaction requires final regulatory approval and all securities issued in this matter are subject to applicable hold periods.

Energizer Resources Adds Molo Zone to Green Giant Project; Intersects 108m of Graphite in Drill Core Grading 8.80%C, Including 49m of 10.09%C / Confirmed Jumbo Flake on Molo with Over 90% Purity
TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 04/04/12 -- Energizer Resources Inc. (TSX: EGZ)(OTCBB: ENZR)(FRANKFURT: YE5) ("Energizer" or the "Company") is pleased to announce assay results from the Molo zone on its Joint Venture (JV) property with Malagasy Minerals Limited ("Malagasy") (ASX: MGY) in Madagascar. Assays received from the Molo zone confirm graphite mineralization at surface, and to a down hole depth of 108 metres at a grade of 8.80% carbon ©.
Based on these results, in conjunction with the previously released assay results from the Fotsy and Fondrana zones, and the metallurgical confirmation of jumbo flake graphite with over 90% purity, the Company is beginning to define a new graphite camp in southern Madagascar.
The Molo Zone
The Molo Zone can be characterized as follows:
-- a multi-folded graphitic zone with a surface-exposed strike length of
over 2 kilometres
-- characterized by resistant ridges of graphite-rich rock, and abundant
graphite-rich float
-- individual graphitic ridges between 20 and 150 metres in width
-- EM31 geophysical surveys indicate the graphite mineralization is
pervasive in the area
-- wide-spaced drilling of 6 diamond drill holes conducted over a strike
length of 1.2 kilometres, intersected graphitic mineralization to a
vertical depth of 75 metres with down-hole thicknesses between 60 and
150 metres in width
-- graphite mineralization intersected in drill core was open along strike,
and at depth.
8.80%C over 108.0 Metres Intersected in Drill Core from the Molo Zone
The Company has received assay results from the first (MOLO-01) of the 6 diamond drill holes drilled over the Molo zone. This hole was collared into graphite mineralization, and was drilled in to the western arm of a fold which strikes for at least 2 kilometres. Graphite mineralization in MOLO-01 was intersected from surface to a down hole depth of 108 metres at a grade of 8.80%C, and included 49 m at 10.09%C and 23 m at 10.03%C. The table below summarizes the intersections.

Emergence of a Graphite Camp
The identification of 17 graphite trends, with a cumulative strike length in excess of 320 km, on the 100% owned Green Giant property and 75% owned Joint Venture properties, have validated the Company's belief that the Green Giant Project has the potential to host a potential graphite camp, with multiple zones. Highlights from zones with analytical results are as follows:
- Molo Zone
-- confirmation of +50 mesh ("jumbo") flake graphite with over 90% purity
achieved from crushing alone
-- drill intersections to 108.0 m at 8.80% C; including 49 m at 10.09%C and
23 m at 10.03%C
-- confirmed to extend for at least 2 kilometres in strike length
- Fondrana Zone
-- drill intersections to 118.6 m at 6.24%C with metallurgical results
pending
-- trench sampling to 106 m at 7.11%C
-- average aggregate graphite intersection from drilling is 73 metres with

Energizer Resources Inc. (EGZ.TO - News)(ENZR.OB - News)(YE5.F - News) ("Energizer" or the "Company") is pleased to announce additional assay results from the Molo deposit on its Green Giant Project. The latest assays received from the Molo deposit confirm graphite mineralization is at surface, and extends to a vertical depth of at least 90 metres at grades between 6.9% and 14.6% carbon ©. The Molo graphite deposit is located on the joint venture (JV) property with Malagasy Minerals Limited ("Malagasy") (MGY.AX - News) in Madagascar, in which Energizer has a 75% ownership interest.
Focus Will be on Molo Graphite Deposit - NI 43-101 Resource Drilling to Begin Within Two Weeks
These latest drill hole assays continue to confirm that extensive surficial graphite mineralization extends to depth over the Molo deposit. As a result, the Company is now focusing its full attention and resources behind fast tracking the delineation of a National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101) compliant resource at the Molo deposit. Based on work completed to date, the Company is targeting a resource between 50 and 100 million tonnes within a grade range of 6 to 10% C.
This resource delineation program is scheduled to begin within two weeks and is estimated to take two months. The resource drilling will total approximately 7,500 meters and will utilize two Boart Longyear diamond drills, which are already on site. Energizer's exploration team, led by Senior Vice President of Exploration Craig Scherba, P. Geol., has previous experience in this regard, having already delineated a NI 43-101 compliant stand-alone vanadium resource of 49.5 million tonnes at an average grade of 0.693% V2O5 and an inferred resource of 9.7 million tonnes at an average grade of 0.632% V2O5, located on the Green Giant property.
Non-Compliant NI 43-101 Statement - The potential quantity and grade of the target graphite deposit is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to adequately define a mineral resource in accordance with NI 43-101 requirements. Further exploration to define a compliant NI 43-101 resource will commence shortly, and although the Company sees no reason why a compliant mineral resource would not be defined there is no guarantee that further exploration will result in the target graphite deposit being defined as a mineral resource. The potential quantity and grade of the target graphite deposits have been determined through the progression of exploration methodology and initial metallurgical testing. This included airborne surveys, ground geophysics, mapping, trenching and diamond drill holes, in conjunction with assay results. The low range of the resource target is based on confirmed surficial mineralization and drill hole intersection assays to date. The high range of the resource target is based solely on confirmed surficial mineralization with no sub-surface drilling. Samples are collected in accordance with strict QA/QC protocols, and sent to accredited test facilities for obtaining assay results.
DRA Engineers to Begin Outlining Mine Site
Shortly after the commencement of drilling, DRA Mineral Projects will send an engineering team to site to begin quantifying data required for a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) of the Molo deposit. During this time, DRA will begin outlining the mine site parameters, including production facilities and infrastructure.
Jumbo Flake Graphite at an Average Purity of 93% Confirmed
Preliminary metallurgical analysis indicates that Jumbo flake (i.e. +50 mesh) graphite at an average purity of 93% C can be easily liberated through simple crushing of the Molo deposit graphite.
This metallurgical insight, coupled with the wide widths and high grades quantified through assays, has prompted the Company to expedite and focus its full attention on the delineation of a NI 43-101 compliant resource at the Molo deposit.
Molo Graphite Assays Continue to Confirm Size and Grade
The Company has now received assay results from 5 of the 7 diamond drill holes completed over the Molo deposit. Of the 7 drill holes, 6 were drilled into the western arm of a fold, with a strike length of at least 2 kilometres, with the remaining hole (MOLO-06) drilled into a surficially exposed graphitic ridge 1 kilometre to the west of the central core of the Molo deposit. Of the holes received (MOLO-01 to MOLO-05), graphite mineralization was intersected to a down-hole depth of 108 metres, with composited grades ranging from 6.94% C to 14.63% C. The table below summarizes the intersections from all 5 holes received.

Additional Fotsy and Fondrana Assays Confirm Multiple Stand-Alone Graphite Deposit Potential
Energizer turned its attention to graphite in November 2011, and continues to identify new graphite opportunities on its 120 kilometre-long Green Giant Project. Through the completion of 29 diamond drill holes over 3,780 metres, 20 trenches over 1,900 metres, regional sampling with 670 prospecting samples, geological mapping of 3 areas, analysis of 3 airborne geophysical surveys, and the completion of 160.5 kilometres of ground-based electromagnetic geophysical surveying, the Company has identified over 320 kilometres of graphitic trends.
The Company has now received assay results from 12 of the 14 diamond drill holes completed over the Fotsy deposit, and 5 of the 6 diamond drill holes completed over the Fondrana deposit. Graphite mineralization was intersected to a down-hole depth of 138.5 metres, with composited grades ranging from 5.19% C to 12.16% C. The table below summarizes the intersections from all recently received drill holes.

FOTSY-12 112.35 119 6.65 9.9
FOTSY-13 27 61 34 5.19
--------------------------------------------------
The assay results for the Fotsy and Fondrana confirm the Green Giant Project has the potential to host multiple stand-alone graphite deposits. In order to expedite project development however, the Company will focus exploration and engineering efforts on the Molo graphite deposit.

Interview mit Dr. Dietmar Siebholz
7. Mai 2012 um 20:42 von Heiko Böhmer
Dr. Dietmar Siebholz ist ein bekannter Rohstoff-Experte aus Deutschland und ist für sein Fachwissen und für seinen Spürsinn für kommende Trends international bekannt. Mit Rohstoff-Investingnews führte er ein Interview und verrät, wieso Graphit für ihn der nächste heiße Rohstoff wird..
Link: http://www.rohstoff-investingnews.de/graphit/...-dr-dietmar-siebholz/
Wie mehrmals die letzten Wochen angesprochen wurde, wird das Graphit-Angebot aus Fernost auf dem Weltmarkt abnehmen. Der mit Abstand größte Produzent ist weiterhin das Reich der Mitte, das gegenwärtig noch über 70% der weltweiten Graphitproduktion stemmt. Wie im Segment der Seltenen Erden und bei zahlreichen anderen, strategischen Rohstoffen wie z.B. Kobalt, besitzt China auch im Graphitsegment eine bis dahin unangefochtene Vormachtstellung.
- Sie wollen ihre Ressourcen- und Reservenbasis für die Zukunft schonen
- Stabilisierung und Sicherung des Preisniveaus für die produzierten Graphitprodukte: Vorteilhaft für alle wirtschaftlichen Produzenten, auch außerhalb Chinas
- Der (noch) künstlichen Verknappung des Graphitangebots wird in den nächsten Jahrzehnten eine starke, aber natürliche Angebotsverknappung folgen
- Die Bedeutung von Graphitprodukten für die Industrie hat die letzten Jahre erheblich zugenommen; das gilt vor allem aufgrund dem stark zunehmenden Interesse an Carbonprodukten (vgl. die Situation und den Machtkampf bei SGL Carbon)
- Chinesische Interessen werden gefestigt, siehe Pläne bzgl. dem staalich, kontroll. Monopol
- Ausreizung der Monopolstellung, Einfluss und Macht dem Westen präsentieren
