ASX Announcement
Graphmada Graphite Mining Complex Exploration Update
8 March 2022
Greenwing Resources Ltd (Greenwing or the Company) (ASX:GW1) is pleased to provide an update on exploration activities at its wholly owned Graphmada Graphite Mining Complex, located in Madagascar.
HIGHLIGHTS
- 43 diamond drill holes for a total of 1,715 metres completed to date, representing a significant portion of the current diamond drilling program.
- Drilling has recorded significant intercepts of graphite mineralisation, up to 37.9m @ 6.6% Fixed Carbon (FC) including 4.9m @ 19.4% FC.
- The Company continues to drill and in particular expand the footprint of Ambatofafana.
- Current diamond drilling program designed to provide a Mineral Resource upgrade for Graphmada, supporting studies to undertake large scale mining and processing operations.
- Graphmada has previously produced concentrates to specifications and sold into all major global markets without penalty.
NEXT STEPS
- Continue to drill and expand the footprint and depth of Ambatofafana.
- Continue analysis of drill samples to update the Mineral Resource Estimate for the Graphmada Mining Complex.
- Advance feasibility studies on large scale mining and processing.
CRAIG LENNON (CEO)
"These results are the best we've seen to date, and continue to confirm the significant graphite mineralisation present at Graphmada and validate the Company's strategy to develop large scale mining and processing.
Drilling will continue with a view to releasing a material update of Mineral Resources in the next quarter. The feasibility study work will also continue, and we plan to release updates on this as we progress.
The Ambatofafana results are extremely encouraging, and we look to advance this prospect further to understand the size potential."

CURRENT MINERAL RESOURCES & EXPLORATION TARGET
Greenwing sees the expansion of the Mineral Resource at Graphmada, a project which has already produced concentrates to specification and has sold into all major global markets, as key to its plans for large-scale production at the Graphmada Mining Complex (Figure 1).
Graphmada's current large flake graphite Mineral Resource of 22.0 Mt @ at 4.0% Total Graphitic Carbon (TGC) was estimated in accordance with the JORC Code (2012).
Based on an extensive set of exploration data, Graphmada has a brownfields Exploration Target estimate1 of 86-146Million tonnes between 4-6%TGC, in accordance with the JORC Code (2012).
TABLE 1: MINERAL RESOURCES FOR THE GRAPHMADA MINING COMPLEX
Total | Tonnes | TGC | Contained Graphite |
Measured | 2.9 Mt | 4.2% | 121 Kt |
Indicated | 3.3 Mt | 4.3% | 143 Kt |
Inferred | 15.8 Mt | 4.0% | 625 Kt |
Total | 22.0 Mt | 4.0% | 890 Kt |
Important Notes:
An Exploration Target is a statement or estimate of the exploration potential of a mineral deposit in a defined geological setting where the statement or estimate, quoted as a range of tonnes and a range of grade, relates to mineralization for which there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource. The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to estimate

The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information in the relevant ASX releases, and the form and context of the announcement has not materially changed. The Company confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Persons findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcements.

EXPLORATION RESULTS
For personal use only
The Company has drilled 43 diamond drill holes for a total of 1,715 metres across the Mahela
- Ambatofafana Zones. The key intercepts in Table 2 demonstrate the mineralization footprint at Graphmada is extensive, both laterally and in width, and now in depth, with several holes ending in mineralisation.

At the Mahela Zone, the primary aim is to provide an upgrade of Inferred Mineral Resources, to Indicated and Measured Minerals Resources. Consequently, 37 diamond drill holes were completed for 1,379 metres. The recently completed drill holes provide additional information to previous exploration, as shown in Figure 2 and cross section in Figure 3.
Figure 2: Drillhole locations (Mahela)
Each of these thick intersections of graphite mineralisation have extended the width of the Mahela deposit, which will assist with upgrading Inferred Mineral Resources to Indicated and Measured Mineral Resources.
