Once completed, samples will be submitted to accredited metallurgical and assay laboratories to assist in addressing a range of objectives including: quantitative control of historical assay results, graphite particle size characterisation and preliminary sighter flotation testing of selected mineralisation. Additional samples will be despatched to potential end users to commence marketing investigations. Assay and metallurgical results are expected within 8-10 weeks, while applications for drilling permits have been submitted to the relevant Swedish regulatory authorities.
