Energizer Resources Achieves Ultra-High Purity of Greater Than 99.9% Graphitic Carbon
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - July 29, 2013) - Energizer Resources Inc. (OTCBB:ENZR)(FRANKFURT:YE5)(TSX:EGZ) ("Energizer" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has achieved greater than 99.9% graphitic carbon from a finished concentrate of the Company's flagship Molo flake graphite deposit ("the Molo") in Madagascar.
This ultra-high purity graphite concentrate of greater than 99.9% C was achieved on a first-pass, single-stage hydrometallurgical purification test at SGS Canada Inc. ("SGS"). The analysis by SGS that achieved this result comprised of an average of five repeat assays on the concentrate conducted over two days. This preliminary test was done to assess the ability to upgrade the Molo graphite to an ultra-pure concentrate. Based on these exceptional results, SGS will now begin the development of a comprehensive hydrometallurgical process flow sheet, which will be completed over the next 60 to 90 days and will be conducted in adherence to the technical guidelines of a Full Feasibility Study.
