Next Graphite (OTC PINK:GPNE) has announced the start-up of the bulk sampling of graphitic material from the Aukam graphite project in southern Namibia.
As quoted in the press release:

Site construction, including quarters for 30 workers and the building and installation of a screen, has been completed on schedule and on budget. Preparation for the bulk-sampling program including finalizing the infrastructure and clearing graphitic material from the adits and stockpiling on the dumps has also been completed.
The heavy equipment has arrived on site and work is under way. The bulk-sampling program is focussed on separating the graphitic material found in the Aukam dumps from the waste country rock by screening loads of dump material then hand-sorting the screened product. Approximately 500 tonnes of dump material are currently being screened and sorted each day.
Seven sub-samples from a 1.6 tonne sample of screened dump material were recently assayed and averaged 59.4% carbon as graphite (see news release dated June 14, 2016).
