Great news.
"The Jamieson Tank Manganese Project The Jamieson Tank Manganese Project straddles two separate tenements both owned by Archer: Carappee Hill (site of the proposed Sugarloaf Graphite Processing Facility) and Waddikee.
The Carappee Hill portion was initially drilled by Archer in 2008 with follow up drilling under a joint venture between Archer and the manganese miner and processer OM Holdings Limited (ASX:OMH).
The Waddikee portion was drilled under a separate joint venture between OMH and Monax Mining Limited (ASX:MOX). Archer purchased the Waddikee tenement from Monax in 2014 and now owns all of the Jamieson Tank Manganese Project. The Project extends for approximately 6km in a N-S strike direction and is open along strike.
The southern end of Jamieson Tank is within 2km of the proposed Sugarloaf Graphite Processing Plant and also within close proximity of power, water and road infrastructure. The drill sample provided to Kemetco had a head grade of 12% manganese.
Whilst the grade of Jamieson Tank manganese is lower than direct shipping manganese (e.g. Jupiter Mines and South32) the manganese is low in iron and other impurities which makes it suitable for EMD production.
Over 11,000m of drilling was completed by Monax and OMH at Jamieson Tank and Archer is in the process of finalising a maiden manganese Exploration Target which the Company expects to be able to release within the next few weeks.
