Sama Graphite Inc. (SRG) Achieves 99.7% Graphite Purity

21.02.2017  |  Marketwired
4,800-Meter Drilling Program and Environmental Baseline Study Underway

MONTREAL, Feb 21, 2017 - Sama Graphite Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SRG) ("SRG" or the "Company") today announced flotation test results from its wholly-owned Lola Graphite project in Guinea, West Africa. Purities of 99.7% and 99.1% were achieved for the +48 mesh (>0.31 millimeters ("mm")) and the -48+80 mesh (between 0.18 mm and 0.31 mm), respectively using a light caustic acid wash (10% concentration). The majority of the concentrate, 89% is made up of flake sizes greater than 0.18 millimeters. Super- jumbo flakes (>0.50 mm) account for 29% of the concentrate with purities of 96.6% and 95.9% graphitic carbon (''Cg") obtained following the basic floatation process (reference: Table 1).

"Our Lola deposit has returned, after only four tests, results that support a purity and quality of graphite that is utilizable in a large spectrum of applications," stated Dr. Marc-Antoine Audet, P.Geo, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our objective is to complete a preliminary economic assessment by the third quarter of 2017 and a feasibility study by mid-2018."

A 4,800-meter drilling program is underway on the property with an objective to delineate National Instrument 43-101 resources. SRG expects to complete the program by the beginning of July 2017. Concurrently, the Company commenced an Environmental Baseline Study, which is being conducted by the Ivorian organization, SIMPA.

Metallurgical processing refinements will continue in the first quarter of 2017 to generate an optimized flow sheet.

Head Grade: 15.6%
Grinding Typical Flotation Acid Wash
Flake Size mm % % Cg % Cg
+28 Mesh (Super Jumbo) >0.61 8.0 96.6
+35 Mesh (Super Jumbo) >0.50 21.0 95.9 99.7

+80 Mesh (Large) >0.18 32.0 89.3 99.1
-80 Mesh <0.18 11.0 83.2 Not tested

Metallurgical tests were carried out on surface oxide material from the Lola Graphite deposit by Activation Laboratories Ltd., Thunder Bay, Ontario. Tests included optimization flotation to simplify the process and eliminate previous flash flotation and gravity steps. A conventional flotation and concentrate regrind flow sheet was used.
