33.05% P2O5 phosphate high grade, anyone? News Aug 21, '09 Great Quest Metals (GQ-V) has released the results of a preliminary program of sampling and mapping within the 230-square-kilometre Tin Hina phosphate concession in eastern Mali, West Africa. Great Quest holds an 88-per-cent interest in the company holding the concession. During the program, 26 grab samples were taken from exposures of rock over a distance of 6,870 metres along the southeast and south side of a hill where a layer of phosphate rock occurs within a middle Eocene sedimentary sequence. Results of the analyses of these samples ranged from 5.11 to 33.05 per cent P2O5 and averaged 24.50 per cent P2O5. The thickness of the zone of phosphate rock, where observed, ranges from 0.40 metre to 1.7 metres. The P2O5 occurs mainly in the mineral apatite. The depth of the phosphate rock on the southeast side of the hill is approximately eight metres. It is overlain from top to bottom by phosphate rock with laterite, phosphate with gravel, phosphate with laterite, phosphate with clay, and finally pink clay and yellow sandstone. Assays from one pit along the section above the bed of phosphate rock returned values below 1 per cent P2O5. The next program will consist of a combination of RAB drilling and the digging of pits on a grid over the part of the hill north of the southern slope to define a National Instrument 43-101-compliant resource. The samples were prepared for analysis by ALS Chemex in Bamako, Mali, and whole rock analyses were carried out by ALS Chemex in Vancouver, B.C. Carl G. Verley (PGeol), the qualified person pursuant to National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed the contents of this news release.
