Flinders Now Delivering Higher-purity, Larger-flake Graphite at Woxna

Flinders Resources Ltd. (TSXV:FDR) announced an update on the preliminary economic analysis of its Sweden-based Woxna graphite project, explaining that the process flow sheet and mass balance calculations have been completed. Further, it is delivering increased volumes of higher-purity, larger-flake graphite as a result of the simplification of processing.

Highlights of the press release include:

• 155,000 tonnes per annum of graphite mineralised rock at an average head grade of 10.3% is planned to be processed, well above historic levels.
• Using the results of the metallurgical test work, 96% of the graphite is expected to be recovered, yielding 16,710 tonnes per annum of graphite at full capacity.
• The graphite produced is expected to far exceed historical production in quantity, purity and flake size distribution including:
  • 3,070 tonnes/year of extra-large or jumbo flake graphite (+250 µm or +60 mesh) at 95% purity. This high value product was never historically commercialised at Woxna;
  • 3,580 tonnes/year of large flake (+180-250 µm or -60+80 mesh) at 94% purity, elevating this product into a higher price category;
  • 4,730 tonnes/year of medium flake graphite (+100-180 µm or -80+140 mesh) at 92% purity; and
  • 5,330 tonnes/year of fine flake graphite (-100 µm or -140 mesh) at 88 % purity
• Potential exists to further increase graphite production volumes by utilising surplus milling capacity already available at Woxna;
• Results from the PEA are expected to be issued later this month.
