WMN unveils additional drilling results from Tamboli project
Tuesday, March 17 2015 - 02:01 AM WIB
ASX-listed Western Mining Network Limited (WMN) announced Tuesday receipt of further assays and mineralogical results from the Tamboli Project in Kolaka, Southeast Sulawesi
Assay results from the twelve additional drill holes received are: DH_MS004, DH_MS005, DH_MS006, DH_MS008, DDH_MS015, DDH_MS016, DH_MS019, DH_MS020, DDH_MS020R, DDH_MS021, DH_MS022 and DDH_MS023.
The company said in a statement that completion of the fifteen diamond core drill holes is used to evaluate vertical and lateral continuity of the graphite mineralization for further resources definition.
Further assessment for resources definition reporting is ongoing, it added. An independent assay check from other laboratory for the Loss On Ignition (LOI) will be carried out.
?All drill holes noted to have visible flake graphite existence. These additional assay results further reaffirmed our confidence that Tamboli could become an excellent graphite project,? WMN said.
The LOI result is assumed of the oxidized carbon content which may reflect the Total Graphitic Carbon content. The graphitic carbon is the graphitic carbon which may have either amorphous and/or crystalline graphite. Although visible evidence of flake graphite has been observed under magnification, further testing is being carried out to quantify the distribution of flake and amorphous graphite. An independent laboratory check the LOI result for pairing and the assessment for resources estimation report preparation will be carried out as soon as possible.
The analysis for twelve additional drill holes is done with the following sample information as shown on table
