African focused junior mineral exploration company Walkabout Resources has reported very high grade graphite assay results of up to nearly 40% total graphitic carbon (TGC) for its maiden diamond drilling programme at its Lindi Jumbo project in south eastern Tanzania.
The diamond drill holes, all along the western flank of the Gilbert Arcarea of focus, were drilled in order to provide core material for metallurgical test work and size by analysis.

“These diamond drilling results confirm the western flank of the Gilbert Arc will deliver some of the highest quality graphite ore available to meet the expected surge in demand because of increased interest in energy  storage.

“These very high grades over wide intersections mean our input costs will be considerably less than competitors while our previous work has demonstrated a very high ratio of large and jumbo flake concentrate can be produced,” says Walkabout Resources MD Allan Mulligan.
