Lindian Resources confirms high-grade conglomerate bauxite at Gaoual Bauxite Project in Guinea

Lindian Resources Limited provided an update on the assaying and digestion test work on the drill sample derived from the Bouba Conglomerate Bauxite Plateau and Mamaya Plateau at Gaoual. The company said laboratory XRF analyses confirmed the high-grade conglomerate bauxite at the project.

Lindian Resources said 655 samples from the Bouba plateau were analysed by XRF, with a selection of 58 further tested with digestion techniques at both high and low temperatures. 295 samples from the Mamaya plateau were analysed by XRF, with a selection of 18 further tested at high and low-temperature digestions.

The company said the digestion test work confirmed the dominant nature of the conglomerate bauxite located within the Bouba Plateau. Samples from the Bouba Plateau returned total available alumina grades of over 92% in high temperature.

Geological expert Mark Gifford said: "With the capacity to determine the areas of low boehmite presence within the resource, an extremely valuable resource with an exceptionally high TAA content could be attained within the resource tonnage, making the Bouba Conglomerate Bauxite a valuable addition to the Guinea resource landscape."

Managing Director Shannon Green said, “It is a fantastic milestone to finally be able to communicate these terrific results following the receival of both the XRF and digestion test work for the initial drilling program and most exciting is that the results show the truly world-class nature and quality of this incredible and unique resource."

Lindian Resources said a further 214 samples from drill extensions are in transit to the Bureau Veritas laboratory (Perth) for XRF analysis.
