Consistent 94% Carbon in Graphite Production Achieved at Lohorano

StratMin (AIM: STGR), the graphite mining and production company with assets in Madagascar, announces it has achieved an overall average carbon grade of 94.3 per cent in production carried out over an eight day period. The plant has been taken through a series of performance improvements since commissioning and is now steadily producing at grades in excess of 94 per cent Carbon, as required to achieve premium pricing under the Company's current off take agreement.

Mill Trials

The Company installed new milling equipment at the Lohorano property in March which was trialled over the following month and has been operating with average grades consistently at 94 per cent carbon. The team has managed to avoid significant flake size degradation usually associated with excess milling, retaining over 50 per cent of the total run of production as large and jumbo flake.

Average grade range by flake size were as follows over the period:

The company has identified further improvement opportunities and expects the large flake proportion to increase along with grade improvements as the process is further optimised.

Manoli Yannaghas, StratMin's Managing Director, commented:

"Producing 94 per cent carbon consistently further validates the commercial viability of the Lohorano mine and plant. In particular, it should be noted that all 94 per cent carbon produced by StratMin is purchased under the under the terms of our existing off take agreement.

"As we have outlined in recent announcements, the team has demonstrated that it is able to increase volumes with the existing plant. This increase in carbon content means that all the graphite we produce is now profitable, something that makes Stratmin stand out amongst its peers."
