High Grade Graphite Mineralisation Continuity at Uley
Adelaide, Aug 24, 2015 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Valence Industries Limited (
ASX:VXL) is pleased to announce further results from the targeted extensional drilling campaign at the Company's Uley GraphiteTM operation near Port Lincoln.
Highlights:
- Assay results confirm strike extension of very high-grade flake graphite mineralisation at Uley Graphite site
- Very high-grade near-surface mineralisation within Uley Pit 2 imply lower L.O.M. strip ratio
- Very high grades of graphite along strike including grade exceeding 45% gC
The campaign has been focused on the Uley Pit 2 area (see Figure 1, in link below). It is designed to confirm the dip and strike continuity of the Uley GraphiteTM lodes and provide data to allow a detailed mining schedule to be developed for Uley Pit 2. That mine schedule will target high-grade, near-surface mineralisation.
These most recent assay results continue to indicate very high-grade graphite mineralisation is continuous in a southerly direction, along strike from the optimised Uley Pit 2 and within the Exploration Target Area.
Near-surface mineralisation extends across the strike length of the resource area and with the Exploration Target area, minimising the volume of pre-stripping overburden removal prior to ore extraction within the optimised Uley Pit 2, and allowing Valence Industries to further progress Life of Mine studies at Uley Pit 2.
Notable near-surface significant intersections table can be viewed in the link below.
