Bernard and Strache in 1916 estimated a resource of 200,000 to 495,000 tonnes at an average grade of 20% graphite based upon surface and underground mapping and trenching work, although this is unlikely to be based upon any drill core results. A “Review of potential resource critical minerals in Greenland – MiMa report” in 2016 by Bo M. Stensgaard, Henrik Stendal, Per Kalvig and Karen Hanghøj estimates the
original ore body at Amitsoq is around 250,000 tonnes of graphite.
Recent & Near-Term Alba Developments.
Results from a metallurgical testwork programme in October 2019 showed that saleable and high-grade graphite could be produced, with a 97.3% total graphite content. Furthermore, some 36% of the refined product consisted of large, jumbo and super jumbo-sized flakes (Fig 5) which command a premium price.
