Talga Intersects Large Shallow-Dipping Graphite Unit at Jalkunen Project in Sweden

Talga Resources Ltd. (ASX:TLG) announced the results of the diamond drilling program at its 100 percent owned Jalkunen graphite/graphene project in Sweden, which successfully intercepted a large shallow-dipping graphite unit.

As quoted in the press release:

The drilling completed by Talga was situated on a prominent electromagnetic anomaly central to the Jalkunen exploration target and consisted of eight diamond holes totaling 1,082 meters. Six holes successfully intersected the targeted graphite unit which averaged 50-60 meters true thickness and contained intermittent zones of lower grade mafic to felsic metasediments. The graphite unit is interpreted to be shallowly dipping at approximately 25° (Fig 3) and visibly similar to Vittangi mineralisation. Drillhole depths ranged from 80 to 270 meters depth and the graphite unit is present from sub-crop to approximately 600 meters down dip and open.

The wide intersections coupled to the shallow dip of the intersected graphite units suggests that a very large tonnage target is present. Additionally the geometry combined with previous grades in the range 15-30 percent Cg suggest potential for a very high volume of contained graphite per vertical meter. Assay results are expected to be received in May and will be reviewed and analysed for resource estimation in June
