Youd Email: info@firstgraphite.com.au Website: www.firstgraphite.com.au ASX Symbol FGR, FGROA, FGROB | Completion of successful DHTEM survey and Operational Update First survey of its kind conducted in Sri Lanka First Graphite (ASX: FGR) is pleased to report on the completion of downhole electromagnetic (DHTEM) surveys at its Aluketiya and Pandeniya projects. Highlights
DHTEM Graphite is an excellent conductor of electricity, a property which makes it highly amenable to exploration using electrical techniques. Surface and airborne electromagnetic techniques have been used previously by FGR and other companies to search for graphite in Sri Lanka. The limitation of these techniques is that while presence of graphite can be determined, DHTEM can predict the location of veins in three dimensions. GEM geophysics provided the field data acquisition services and Southern Geoscience provided the survey planning and data interpretation for the surveys conducted in August 2016. |
Aluketiya
Eight diamond drill holes, that have been drilled by FGR over the previous 12 months, were surveyed. Table 1 below summarises the observed graphite mineralisation in all of the holes.
