RE: More Coverage for FMS Focus will commence deeper exploration during the spring. Expanding on the current deposit, drilled to 125 metres at a 45 degree angle, effectively 90 metres depth, the team plans to follow the graphite down to around 400 metres and further identify quite how large a resource it has.
“Given that it’s open in all directions that’s the deepest we’ll go for now,” Economo says.
“It’ll definitely be an open pit mine, so going down to 400-500 metres is totally feasible. We expect to come up with much higher resources this summer.”
Drilling for further resource delineation will also take place over the 10 strong showings of graphite concentration within the claim and each may well result in a pit with similar types of volumes as those currently accounted for the December NI43-101.
