DNI Metals Inc. reported update for its two Madagascar graphite projects: Graphite Project #1 -- Vohitsara -- 100% DNI owned and moving forward. Just over 2,700 meters of combined drilling was completed in 2017. Drilling focused entirely on saprolitic hosted, weathered material. The average depth of the holes was approximately 28 meters. Of the 2,700 total meters, DNI completed 1,040 m of diamond core to accurately assess the flake size distribution. The type of drilling completed by Cougar Metals was not appropriate to assess flake size distribution. NB: Graphite is similar to diamonds as the larger the size, the more valuable is the graphite. There are also other factors like purity (carbon content) that can affect the graphite price. Madagascar has produced benchmark quality graphite for over 100 years due to a high proportion of high purity, large flake, premium quality crystalline graphite. Madagascar has a well-developed export infrastructure. Both of DNI's properties have had historical production. Samples have been sent to AGAT Labs in Mississauga, Canada and results are due before the end of the year. DNI has recently completed its fifth exploration trench at the Project. Sampling of this trench will be completed this week and the samples will be sent for sampling. With the digging of Trench 5 to the south and Trench 3 to the north, the length of the mineralization defined within the Main Zone has not only been substantially increased, but remains open in both directions. Assaying is expected to be completed shortly. Bulk Sampling: 90 tonnes of sample material have been collected. 45 tonnes from the main zone, and 45 tonnes from the SW zone. A potential offtake partner will process and test 40 tonnes of the material -- 20 tonnes from each of the aforementioned zones. This material is currently being dispatched to India. Topographical survey: DNI is completing the survey of the drilled areas and immediate surrounding area by end of this week. Graphite Project #2 -- Marofody -- 100% DNI owned. Purchase of the Project: DNI completed the purchase of the property in October 2017. Permits: Marofody is registered as mining permit number PE8904, at the Madagascar's national mining cadaster. The transfer process is underway, and all paperwork has been filed with the BCMM. Initial development plans: a. Topographical survey, b. Ground geophysical survey, c. Multi-phase targeted drilling program, d. Trenching. Environmental Study (EIS): To be completed and filed this week.
