Sarytogan GraphiteLtd (ASX:SGA) MD Sean Gregory tells Proactive the company has achievedsaleable graphite concentrate grade of 81.4% total graphitic carbon(TGC) at 84.4% metal recovery from the latest bulk flotation testingof samples from its Sarytogan Graphite Deposit in central Kazakhstan.The 60 kilograms of composite samples blended from eight diamond drillholes from the northern and central graphite zones at an average headgrade of 32.5% TGC were tested in September at the Perth lab ofMetallurgy Pty Ltd. Significantly, the metal yield is higher than the76.6% previously achieved on the same sample at the bench scale, whichmeans that the project has the potential to deliver very low operatingcosts per tonne of flotation concentrate.
“The results of the bulk concentrate testconfirm that saleable graphite concentrate (greater than 80% TGC) canbe readily produced from the giant and exceptionally high-gradeSarytogan Graphite Deposit,” Gregory said.
“Allocations of bulkconcentrate have now been received by multiple globallaboratories.
“Their important downstream test work has already commencedaimed at replicating the previous excellent purification results andimportantly, demonstrating spheroidisation and batteryperformance.”
