2014 Annual Report to Shareholders
Perth, Mar 31, 2015 AEST (ABN Newswire) - The 2014 financial year and the subsequent months have proven to be the most significant in Triton Minerals Limited's (
ASX:TON) history, with significant milestones being achieved across its project portfolio, including:
- acquiring an 80% interest in Grafex Limitada (Grafex) together with the tenements it holds, as well as negotiating an option to acquire the remaining 20% interest;
- defining a maiden Inferred Mineral Resource at Cobra Plains, which in tonnage terms, is the world's fourth largest graphite resource;
- defining a maiden Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource at Nicanda Hill, which in tonnage terms, is the world's largest graphite and vanadium resource;
- independent Scoping Study completed which indicates Triton's Nicanda Hill resource is a low technical risk, economically robust and commercially viable graphite project;
- commencement of feasibility work for Triton's Mozambique graphite project including engagement of numerous technical consultants to assist with completion of feasibility work;
- ongoing positive metallurgical results confirmed that the Nicanda Hill graphite ore, through standard flotation methods, is readily able to produce graphite concentrates which assay from 95.8% Total Graphitic Carbon (TGC) to 97.3%TGC and by using a simple chemical wash, the graphite concentrate can be upgraded to 99.9%TGC;
- mineralogical test work at Ancuabe confirmed the presence of jumbo flake graphite in excess of 3mm being identified in the crusher discharge, with results also showing 85% of the flake distribution being greater than 212µm in size;
- conceptually, the combined Ancuabe and Nicanda Hill operations may enable the Company to produce large volumes of high grade graphite with a wide range of flake sizes and thereby accommodating broader end-user requirements;
- graphite market research completed by Independent Metallurgical Operations (IMO) has confirmed that Triton's Mozambique graphite (TMG) concentrate is suitable for use in a diverse range of graphite products;
- securing a $20 million equity placement facility with Long State Investments (LSI) as a safe guard to ensure the Company can continue to develop the Mozambique graphite project; and
- management appointments to strengthen the technical expertise and experience of the Company to continue the development of the Mozambique graphite project.
