Next Graphite, Inc. announced that the preliminary results of its commissioned, independent geological interpretation of the company's Aukam graphite Project. The study was conducted by E12. Property Report Summary: The Aukum Graphite Property is located near the southern border of Namibia, 169km from the coastal town of Luderitz Bay.

The Aukum property includes a total of 491 square kilometers with existing infrastructure and road, and port access to the property in all seasons. The 'Property Report' details a preliminary site investigation that was conducted between December 2013 and April 2014. Key findings: There are nine major vein lodes on the site, all which have characteristics of being well-mineralized.

Initial exploration, sampling, and testing on five vein lodes provided preliminary information on grade, flake size, distribution and flotation characteristics of the ore blend. An average sample graded 49.2% high-grade graphite content. An 80% average recovery was achieved with limited liberation of the ore in flotation tests.

There are three major tailing heaps on the property and it is estimated that they contain about 180,000 tons of graphite-bearing rock. All three tailings have visible graphitic content. The graphite mineralization consists of lump, crystalline medium to large flake graphite.

Judging from the flake size distribution, the graphite could be suitable for use in refractories, crucibles, fuel cells, automotive brake pads, foundry coatings, and silicone carbides. There are also historical mineral-producing tin and fluorite mines on the property, and there is other mineral potential on the site, including copper.
