More High-Grade Graphite At Mason Bay, Springdale Graphite Project

International Graphite Limited (ASX: IG6) (International Graphite or the Company) Managing Director and CEO Andrew Worland said: “The latest assay results from Mason Bay continue to excite us. It’s clear that the more we drill following the AEM image (refer Figure 2) the more graphite we can expect to find.


HIGHLIGHTS

  • Assays received for next 24 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes at the Mason Bay exploration target - ~2km east of the existing Springdale Graphite Project mineral resource.
  • Standout results1 include:
    • 11m @ 11.7% Total Graphitic Carbon (“TGC”) from 57m downhole including 1m @ 23.0% TGC from 63m downhole (SGRC0086).
    • 9m @ 5.0% TGC from 42m downhole including 1m @ 21.3% TGC from 43m downhole (SGRC0090).
    • 24m @ 7.2% TGC from 72m downhole (SGRC0093).
    • 23m @ 8.7% TGC from 77m downhole (SGRC0094).
    • 12m @ 12.6% TGC from 41m downhole including 1m @ 20.7% TGC from 43m downhole (SGRC0096).
    • 9m @ 10.3% TGC from 43m downhole (SGRC0097)
    • 6m @ 20.7% TGC from 14m downhole including 4m @ 25.9% TGC from 15m downhole (SGRC0098).
    • 11m @ 18% TGC from 28m downhole including 4m @ 23.9% TGC from 29m downhole (SGRC0098).
    • 7m @ 9.4% TGC from 12m downhole (SGRC0104).
    • 18m @ 6.6% TGC from 34m downhole (SGRC0106).
    • 25m @ 11.4% TGC from 68m downhole (SGRC0106).
  • A total of 5,056m drilled at Mason Bay, average hole depth 84m.
  • Results from 39 of 60 RC holes at Mason Bay now received.
  • Mason Bay is the fourth discovery at the Springdale Graphite Project and one of seven high priority exploration targets identified by AEM survey.
  • 20,465m drilled at Springdale since June 2022 including 12 diamond and 261 RC infill and exploration holes.
  • Assays for the balance of the resource and exploration drilling program are due to be received by mid-July with a new resource estimate to be published soon after.
This is our fourth discovery at Springdale. Assays for the balance of the resource and exploration drilling program are due to be received by mid-July with a new resource estimate to be published soon after.

As reported in February 20232, flotation tests on sample composites from Mason Bay produced high grade graphite concentrate at excellent recoveries with ‘fines’ size highly amendable to micronising.

We expect future drilling will continue adding to the Springdale resource base. Areas, comparable in size to the existing identified mineral resource, remain to be investigated.

The continued exploration success at Springdale gives us great confidence that sufficient mineral resource will be available across our tenement package to host a long life mine and support our integrated mine-to-market graphite operation in Western Australia.”

Drill collar data from drilling with assay results is shown below in Table 1 and significant intercepts are shown in Table 2. Figures 3-5 show graphite mineralisation in cross section from the areas highlighted in Figure 2.

US Slaps 93.5 Percent Tariff on Chinese Graphite

The US government has imposed a 93.5 percent anti-dumping tariff on battery-grade graphite imports from China, targeting what officials have described as unfairly low-priced shipments.

They claim domestic producers have been undercut, and have cited concerns over critical minerals dependence.

The US Department of Commerce announced the duty on Thursday (July 17) after an investigation prompted by from US manufacturers, who argued that Chinese producers were flooding the market with underpriced graphite.
