Syrah testwork proves up at Balama

Testwork at the Balama graphite project, in Mozambique, has revealed that a significant improvement in total graphitic carbon could be achieved through the addition of a liberation circuit. Owner Syrah Resources said on Thursday that the results of a 100 t pilot plant test programme, in Brazil, had produced concentrate material for the spherical test work facility in China, as well as concentrate for potential flake graphite customers for product qualification purposes.
