BlackEarth Minerals: First Assay Results From Haja Received

BlackEarth Minerals (ASX: BEM) is pleased to provide an update on the first batch of assay results recently received from the Haja resource definition drilling program at the Maniry graphite Project in southern Madagascar. Assay results have been received from the first 5 holes from the recently completed 26 hole, 2,026m diamond drilling program. The remaining assays from the program are expected to be received over the coming 4-6 weeks. A maiden JORC compliant resource estimation for the Haja graphite prospect is expected to be released to the market in Q4 2018.

As quoted in the press release:

“Following recent completion of the drilling program at the Haja Prospect, Haja is considered to have excellent potential to host a large-scale, near-surface graphite resource which we expect to complete the resource estimation in Q4 2018. The large aerial extent, outcropping nature and in most cases flatlying nature of the graphite mineralisation, continues to provide confidence that the prospects in the Maniry Graphite Project area can be readily upgraded to a JORC (2012) compliant resource,” Tom Revy, managing director, said.
