Gratomic noted that once the drilling is complete and all drill holes are assayed, it intends to process the obtained data in order to generate a maiden mineral resource estimate for the Capim Grosso asset, which will be combined with pilot metallurgical testing data and other relevant information in order to generate a feasibility study and fast track the project development.
Gratomic is focused on becoming a leading global graphite supplier with projects in Namibia, Brazil, and Canada.
