Graphite Projects
Location: Malawi, Africa | Mineral: Natural Graphite
Located in the south-east of Africa, Malawi has excellent operating infrastructure in place, is attracting increasing international investment, and is a member country of the Commonwealth. They have shown significant potential and an appetite for mining, especially natural graphite production which is cheaper, has a lower carbon footprint and is more environmentally friendly than its synthetic substitutes.
Malingunde Project
The Malingunde Project is located in the Central Region of the Lilongwe District of Malawi, approximately 20km southwest of Malawi's capital, Lilongwe.
The Malingunde Project has a Mineral Resource estimate of 65Mt at 7.2% TGC for contained graphite of 4.68Mt.
In November 2018, an initial pre-feasibility study (PFS) for the Malingunde Project was completed confirming low operating costs, low technical risk, high-quality concentrates and substantial upside of the Malingunde Project.
Nanzeka Project
The Nanzeka Project is located approximately 60km north of Malawi’s capital Lilongwe. Mapping, rock chip sampling, trenching and limited drilling in 2013 identified high-grade flake graphite mineralisation over a strike length of approximately 3km with a true width of about 10m.
Some surface exposures show up to 150m of graphite mineralisation widths. NGX Exploration Limited (a wholly owned Malawian subsidiary of NGX) is the holder of Retention Licence RL 0012/21, granted on 27 July 2021, which comprises the Nanzeka Project.
Duwi Project
The Duwi Project is located approximately 15km east of Malawi's capital, Lilongwe, which has a Mineral Resource estimate of 85.9Mt at 7.1% total graphitic carbon (TGC) for contained graphite of 6.13Mt.
