Ambato-Arana Graphite Mine, Madagascar
The Company has made very significant progress in our understanding and knowledge on the past producing Ambatro-Arana Graphite Project in Madagascar. We have acquired and verified a substantial amount of historical data including recently recovered historic data on over 400 auger drill holes on the project that indicates the presence of substantial graphite mineralization, which will be instrumental on the definition of the upcoming confirmation work program. LION has retained the services of Pascal Marchand M.Sc. P. Geol to conduct a detailed trenching, auger drilling and sampling program on the known Graphite bearing structures to develop a mine plan to best achieve putting the project back into economic production.
Pascal is a Franco-Canadian geologist based in Madagascar with over 25 year's highly relevant experience including the exploration and appraisal of mineralisation of graphite. He is a member of the Ordre des Geologues du Quebec. Mr. Marcharnd holds degrees in geology including MSc's from Laval University and from the University of Nancy and a BSc from the University of Besancon. He has worked throughout Madagascar and, in addition to geological expertise, is fully conversant with Malagasy mining law, and environmental and social regulations.
