Lamboo Resources recently announced that
its prized McIntosh Graphite Project in Western Australia should be ready for
production in less than 12 months.
Lamboo Resources has appointed Tony Cormack as Operations Manager at McIntosh,
reaching a major milestone on the road to production.
Richard Trevillion, Lamboo Resources
Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer,said he thinks the company has
the perfect man for the job.
“Tony, who has more than two decades of
experience in developing projects in Australia, worked as Resource Development
Manager for Atlas Iron, and he excelled in that role,” Trevillion says.
“He was responsible for taking projects
from exploration through to production, which is exactly what he will do for
Lamboo Resources.He will be responsible for bringing McIntosh into production
on time and on budget.”
Lamboo Resources hopes to move the McIntosh
project into production by late 2014 or early 2015.
This step should be easier as Lamboo
Resources announced that the production scheduling for McIntosh has been
approved. All environmental site surveys are complete, and environment
approvals are underway.
Lamboo Resources is also advancing a
scoping study to gain a full picture of the flake graphite deposit.
Lamboo Resources has already announced an
indicated and inferred JORC resource for Target 1 at McIntosh, and JORC
resource estimations are due in the coming weeks for Targets 2, 5 and 6.
The JORC compliant resource at Target 1 is
over a strike length of 400 metres and a depth of 200m. It is estimated to
contain 5.323 million tonnes, grading 4.91% total graphitic carbon for 262,400
tonnes of contained graphite at a cut-off grade of 2% total graphitic carbon.
Located in the East Kimberly, McIntosh is
perfectly located for Lamboo Resources as it is accessible by the Great
Northern Highway, which links the project to the port at Wyndham.
“This is such an exciting time for Lamboo
Resources, and we plan to release further updates in the coming weeks,”
Trevillion says.
