Grren Giant Project:
The 100% owned Green Giant Project, located in Madagascar, is one of the largest vanadium deposits in the world. Currently Energizer is targeting production by the end of 2014. With the recent discovery of flake graphite on the property, however, the Green Giant now offers two strategic minerals from one source.

Primary Product: Flake Graphite

Property Location: South Central Madagascar, 145 km SE of the city of Toliara, Tulear Region (Figure 1).

Land Position: 36 licences, 225 km² (Figure 2).

Current Status:

DRA Mineral Projects has been appointed as the technical partner of Energizer. As a provider of full Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM) services, DRA offers Energizer the ability to both build and then operate a mining operation, thus providing a complete solution.

The 100% owned Green Giant Vanadium Project, located in Madagascar, is one of the largest vanadium deposits in the world. Energizer is the only company actively targeting to produce a battery-grade vanadium as a primary product. Currently Energizer is targeting production by the end of 2014.

Energizer’s deposit is unique from other known Vanadium deposits because it is sediment-hosted and not magnetite-hosted like the majority of other known Vanadium deposits. As a result, Energizer expects to produce a clean liquor requiring less processing to produce the high purity (99.5%), battery-grade vanadium.

Primary Product: Vanadium (V2O5 or Vanadium Pentoxide) in high-purity form (99.5%).

ENERGIZER RESOURCES INTERSECTS 118.6 M OF GRAPHITE IN DRILL CORE GRADING 6.24% C, AND 106 M AT 7.11% C IN TRENCH SAMPLING

Energizer Resources Inc. has provided updated preliminary results from exploration programs on its Green Giant and Malagasy Minerals Ltd. joint venture properties in Madagascar. Assays received to date from the Phase I exploration program, have yielded drill intersections assaying up to 6.24% carbon Acopyright over 118.6 metres in length, and trench assays up to 7.11% C over 106 metres in length. Reconnaissance exploration work conducted by Malagasy Minerals has identified disseminated to massive graphite on the JV property assaying up to 71.94% C. Highlights of the updated exploration findings are as follows, with a complete summary of assays provided on the Company's website:

Green Giant Property

-- Drill core intersection of 6.24% C over 118.6 metres

-- Empirical confirmation that graphite mineralization extends to surface through trenching

-- Trench assay results ranging as high as 19.06% C, with intersections up to 7.11% over 106 metres

JV Property

-- Identification of shear hosted disseminated to massive graphite mineralization greater than 330 metres in length, and open along strike

-- Grab sample assays to 71.94% C

-- Identification of graphite flakes to 6 mm through mineralogic analysis

Assay Results Support the Development of a Graphite Camp

Energizer's 2011 Phase I and Phase II exploration programs were designed to delineate new graphitic trends in southern Madagascar, and to empirically test them in preparation for a resource delineation program planned for the spring of 2012. The analytical results received to date, cover only a fifth of surficial grab samples, a quarter of diamond drill core, and roughly two thirds of trench samples sent for graphitic carbon analysis, but are of a sufficient tenor for the Company to believe they validate the potential of delineating a flake graphite camp in southern Madagascar.

118.6 Metres of Graphite Mineralization Intersected in Drill Core from the Fondrana Zone

The Company has not yet received a complete set of assay results from its Phase I exploration program conducted over the Green Giant Property in September, 2011. The most recently received assays, however, have increased the previously reported drill intercept of 61.4 metres at 7.46% C in drill hole FOND-01, to 118.6 metres of 6.24% C. A total of 6 holes were drilled in the Fondrana Zone, with assay results only available for the first hole.

Assay Results Received for 12 Trenches, Including 7.11% C over 106 Metres

Of the 22 trenches completed over the course of the Phase I and Phase II exploration programs, only assay results from 1 Fondrana trench, and 11 Fotsy trenches have been received. All trench assays empirically confirm the continuation of graphite mineralization to surface. Trenches emplaced within the Fotsy Zone intersected multiple graphite horizons, with highlights including the following:

-- FOTSY-TH-11-03: 5 m @ 10.31% C, 6 m @ 10.14% C, 9 m @ 8.59% C

-- FOTSY-TH-11-06B: 6 m @ 9.53% C, 8 m @ 7.79% C, 10 m @ 8.43 % C

-- FOTSY-TH-11-07B: 12 m @ 11.26% C

-- FOTSY-TH-11-08: 10 m @ 13.83% C, 7 m @ 7.56% C

-- FOTSY-TH-11-12A: 7.5 m @ 10.3% C, 6 m @ 5.73% C

The trench assay results received for the graphite mineralization intersected in the Fondrana Zone verify the graphite mineralization intersected in drill core (i.e. 6.24% C over 118.6 m from FOND-01) extends to surface over a similar width. Specifically, the FOND-TH-11-02 trench intersected the following:

-- FOND-TH-11-02: 106 m @ 7.11% C, 5 m @ 4.19% C

Graphite to 71.94% C Identified on JV Property

Malagasy Minerals has reported to Energizer that while exploring during the Fourth Quarter of 2011 over the JV Property, their geologic consultants discovered 'heavily disseminated to massive graphite' that assayed up to 71.94% C. The following description was taken from Malagasy's December 2011 Quarterly Report:

Samples of massive and disseminated flake graphite were discovered during the Quarter and submitted to Intertek for determination of carbon content and to Pontifex and Associates for determination of flake size and general petrological description.

Intertek reported 71.94% Carbon Acopyright and 12.52% C for the massive and disseminated specimens respectively, which is at least comparable to if not better than the material from the former graphite mines near Ampanihy, where material collected from stockpiles and dumps assayed from 11.44% C to 54.02% C.

Pontifex (Pontifex and Associates Pty. Ltd., Australia) reported flake size as commonly 0.5mm wide x 1.5mm long, with approximately 1/3 being 1.0mm wide and 6mm long for the massive graphite sample; and up to 20% graphite as single flakes, 0.1 to 0.3mm, more commonly as composites to 5mm for the disseminated sample.

The testwork indicates that both the grade of the graphite and the flake size are within commercial specifications and the newly located graphite vein is considered to have economic potential. It should be noted that this graphite locality now falls into the Energizer Joint Venture area.

Next Steps

After all graphite analyses are received, Company geoscientists will determine which of the 17 graphitic zones identified on the Green Giant and JV properties warrant further drilling in the spring of 2012, with the intention of delineating a NI 43-101 compliant indicated graphite resource by Q3. In order to facilitate an accelerated exploration timeline, the Company has submitted samples to multiple laboratories for metallurgical analysis, and will endeavour to expedite the metallurgical process throughout its exploration programs.

Two Strategic Minerals
Energizer Fast-tracks Vanadium and Graphite in Madagascar
By Greg Klein

According to Brent Nykoliation, Energizer Resources TSX:EGZ faces a question of identity. “Are we a vanadium company with a graphite credit or a graphite company with a vanadium credit?” the VP of Business Development asks. “The answer is, we don’t know yet.”

A January 2011 resource estimate had already established Energizer’s Green Giant Property in Madagascar as one of the world’s largest known vanadium deposits. On that note, a PEA was initiated. Then the discovery of graphite put a whole new perspective on the project. Further exploration identified five graphitic trends apart from the vanadium zones. Those findings prompted the company to negotiate a joint venture with Malagasy Minerals MGY, in which Energizer holds a 75% interest and acts as project operator on a property that surrounds Green Giant on three sides.


Although they are rarely found together, Energizer’s Madagascar properties host both graphite and vanadium.

“The JV Property is significant for two reasons,” Nykoliation says. “First, we knew the vanadium was going to travel south of our border, so we made the deal to secure the extension of the vanadium. But second, we also found that graphite was in our vanadium trend. So in our 100%-owned property we have about 3.8% graphitic carbon with the vanadium. At that point, we understood that we had graphite on the property and much higher grades in areas that were exclusively graphite and no vanadium.

“Our property went from 21 kilometres to 120 kilometres long, and we have tied up about 75% to 80% of a very significant zone in southern Madagascar which is known for very rich graphite and vanadium. There’s no other company and no other place we know of that has a graphite discovery of this magnitude—a cumulative 320 kilometres. As our VP of Exploration Craig Scherba says, it’s very rare to find those two together. So we have two strategic minerals in one source.”

Traditionally associated with the steel industry, both vanadium and graphite are considered crucial to a cleaner, greener future. A 2009 report from investment banker Piper Jaffray predicts energy storage to be a $600-billion industry by 2020, with 51% of that devoted to battery technologies. Among the contenders are lithium vanadium phosphate batteries for electric vehicles and vanadium flow batteries for power grid storage. VFBs require vanadium over 98.4%, an especially costly grade. Energizer says its deposit, “one of the largest and purest in the world,” is especially well-suited to make the grade.

Graphite’s share of the green economy inspires even headier projections. Predicted demand from lithium-ion batteries, pebble-bed nuclear reactors, fuel cells, solar panels and other new technologies has triggered an exploration boom. Graphene, an ultra-thin, flexible derivative 200 times stronger than steel, inspires a whole new world of technological marvels. These new uses call for high-purity flake graphite. While metallurgical analysis continues on Energizer’s graphite, the company states that it is “comfortable in identifying the graphite as flake, based on visual observation and cursory testing.”

Green Giant has a January 2011 vanadium resource estimate of 49.5 million tonnes grading 0.69% for 756.3 million pounds vanadium pentoxide indicated and 9.7 million tonnes grading 0.63% for 134.5 million pounds vanadium pentoxide inferred.

The resource, Nykoliation explains, “was in our original property of 21 kilometres and that vanadium represents only about 20% of our 21-kilometre trend. Then on top of that we increased our vanadium trend by about 50 kilometres.”

Energizer released Green Giant drill and trench graphite carbon assays. Results from the Fondrana Zone include

- 7.01% carbon over 41.5 metres
- 5.63% over 24 metres
- 5.18% over 18 metres
- 4.73% over 12 metres
- 5.88% over 5.9 metres

Fotsy Zone results include

- 5% carbon over 15 metres
- 4.39% over 11 metres
- 4.64% over 8 metres
- 5.18% over 5 metres

With the JV Property included, Energizer has identified 17 distinct graphitic zones, supporting its belief that the property constitutes a graphite camp. “We’ve drilled seven of those zones, and the assays will be coming back over the next few weeks,” Nykoliation adds.

"In 18 to 24 months, assuming we hit all our timelines, we could have a mine " —Brent Nykoliation

“We’re moving very quickly to delineate a 43-101 resource on the graphite,” he says. “We need to determine where in the 17 zones we’ll delineate that resource…. We expect to have a 43-101 resource by July or August of this year. We expect to have a PEA completed probably by September or October, and then we’ll be in a position to have a bankable feasibility, along with a pilot plant project that would start earlier, by December of this year.”

Nykoliation explains, “The reason we can fast track this is our partnership with DRA Mineral Projects, Africa’s leading mine development firm. DRA runs 29 mines around the world. They run mines for Xstrata XSRAF, Rio Tinto RIO, Vale VALE, and now they’re partnering with us. They’re the ones who’ll do our PEA and our bankable. In 18 to 24 months, assuming we hit all our timelines, we could have a mine open up. DRA could be our total engineering, construction, procurement and management solution for mines.”

Getting back to the question of identity, it’s a matter of economics. “The capex on a graphite mine is much lower than on a vanadium mine. So graphite might be the springboard to get the mine open. Then the revenue from that would help fund our vanadium operation,” Nykoliation says.

Offtake discussions are already underway, and the suitors could come from a number of countries. “We’re close to the Chinese market,” he says. “We’re perfectly situated for South Africa, one of the largest vanadium consumers in the world. We are ideally situated for Europe. Madagascar is an extremely mining-friendly jurisdiction. But it also has location, location, location.”

It’s well-positioned in other ways as well. Nykoliation concludes, “We have a dual offering—two strategic minerals, one source. We have a very large project, and we’re fast-tracking it. We have a great partner in DRA and a great location in Madagascar. We’re uniquely situated.”

At press time, Energizer had 153.7 million shares outstanding at $0.29 a share for a market cap of $44.6 million.

Energizer Resources Confirms Jumbo Flake Graphite With +90% Purity; DRA Mineral Projects Makes Initial Equity Investment in Energizer

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 26, 2012) - Energizer Resources Inc. (TSX:EGZ)(OTCBB:ENZR)(FRANKFURT:YE5) ("Energizer" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received positive initial metallurgical test results from its Green Giant Project in Madagascar and that DRA Mineral Projects has made an equity investment into the Company.

Graphite ore samples from the Fotsy and Molo zones were submitted to the North Carolina State University (NCSU) Minerals Research Laboratory in Asheville, North Carolina for preliminary evaluations to define potential for recovery of commercial products. Simple mechanical crushing with no flotation yielded flake sizes of +50 mesh, which according to Tom Burkett, Vice President of Graphite Materials & Systems at SGL Carbon Group - the world's largest carbon company - is regarded by the industry as jumbo flake. Both ores have produced graphite concentrates at purities of +90%.

Both samples were subjected to beneficiation that included crushing, grinding, and various flotation schemes. A +50-mesh grind was utilized for the majority of the testing to achieve a high degree of liberation while maintaining a particle size that would be attractive to the marketplace. This testing recovered graphite in the form of oversize products at +50 mesh and flotation concentrates.

Data is still being processed and an initial report will be forthcoming by the NCSU complete with conclusions, recommendations, flake distribution summary and a preliminary process flow sheet.

Green Giant Outlines Extensive Graphite Zones

Energizer's Senior Vice President of Exploration, Craig Scherba, P. Geol., commented, "We are very pleased with these initial results. With the confirmation of jumbo flake graphite and +90% purity, Energizer has now met two more thresholds and when combined with our exploration results to date, make our Green Giant project quite unique in the marketplace. We have multiple zones with mineralization at surface, high grades, wide intersections and strike lengths that can be measured in kilometers, not meters. We are outlining a graphite camp."

To date, Energizer's Green Giant and JV Property contains 17 separate and distinct graphite zones, seven of which have been drill tested. The culmination of drilling, trenching, geophysics, geologic mapping and prospecting have confirmed graphite mineralization in all tested zones to be at surface, open along strike and at depth.

Drill assays have been received so far from two zones, the Fondrana and the Fotsy, showing high grades and extensive widths (FOND-01: 6.24% C over 118.6 meters; FOND-TH-11-01: 7.11%C over 106 meters; FOTSY-TH-11-05A: 9.93%C over 10 meters). Initial assay results are expected shortly from the Molo and Seta zones.

DRA Makes Initial Equity Investment in Energizer

The Company is also pleased to announce that a private placement transaction has been concluded with DRA Africa Pty Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of DRA Mineral Projects ("DRA") who has recently become a technical partner of Energizer (see January 25, 2012 news release).

Johann de Bruin, Pr.Eng, and Director of DRA commented, "Our current understanding of the quality of the graphite within the tenements as well as our understanding of the logistics associated with the development of a mine in the Southern part of Madagascar gives us enough confidence in the Green Giant Graphite and Vanadium project to justify moving forward with an equity investment in Energizer Resources. This represents a further commitment to the project and solidifies our relationship with Energizer since being appointed as their technical partner. It is our intention to increase our equity position as funds and test work analyses become available in accordance with the MOU. We look forward to supporting Energizer Resources in bringing this project to implementation and operation."

Kirk McKinnon of Energizer stated, "We are very pleased that DRA has decided to invest in Energizer. It certainly reflects their belief in our project and further strengthens our relationship. Their role of technical partner is a key factor in our ability to move the project from resource definition to production within a very short timeframe. As the importance of graphite continues to manifest itself, speed to market will become increasingly important in order to maximize shareholder value."

DRA has subscribed for 2,540,000 common shares of Energizer for gross proceeds of $635,000 USD. This results in DRA having an equity position of 1.6%. Under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU"), DRA has the right to acquire up to a 5% equity position in Energizer. Future private placements will be done at market conditions. The transaction requires final regulatory approval and all securities issued in this matter are subject to applicable hold periods.

Energizer reports Madagascar Graphite Metallurgical Results, $635K Private Placement by DRA

Energizer Resources Inc TSX:EGZ announced metallurgical test results from its Green Giant Project in Madagascar and a private placement by DRA Mineral Projects.

The North Carolina State University Minerals Research Laboratory analyzed graphite ore samples from the project’s Fotsy and Molo zones for preliminary evaluations of recovery. Simple mechanical crushing with no flotation yielded flake sizes of +50 mesh. According to Tom Burkett, VP of Graphite Materials & Systems at SGL Group, the world’s largest carbon company, +50 mesh is considered jumbo flake. Both ores have produced graphite concentrates at purities of +90%.

Energizer also announced a private placement of 2.54 million shares for US$635,000 has been closed with DRA Africa Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of DRA Mineral Projects. DRA now holds 1.6% of Energizer, with the right to acquire a total of up to 5%. DRA is a technical partner of Energizer.

"We have the money, we’re well-funded right now. So for us it’s pitter, patter, let’s get at her" —Brent Nykoliation

Energizer VP of Business Development Brent Nykoliation tells ResourceClips.com, “What sets this project apart from others is its size. We describe it as a graphite camp. We have multiple deposits within our own property. We have 17 distinct zones so far. There’s no other project, according to the analysts that we’ve talked to, that have the scale of ours. We have over 320 line-kilometres of confirmed graphitic mineralization at surface. We’ve now drill-tested seven of the 17 zones. Assays have come back on two, the Fondrana and the Fotsy zones, and results from the Molo Zone will be coming out. The Molo Zone is very, very wide. Its strike length can be measured in kilometres. What sets us apart from the market is our size. Now that we’ve told the market we have large/jumbo flake, and we have over 90% purity, well, to me that’s a tri-factor. Our grades are around seven. We have samples that go as high as 22% carbon. We’ve already reported drill holes of 118 metres at 6.24%, 46 metres at 7%: so, very high grades, very wide widths, very long strike lengths. They’re open at depth, open along strike. Dundee Resources has said to us, ‘What makes you guys so compelling is you’re developing a graphite camp.’

“A camp by definition means very large, multiple deposits in a single source,” he explains. “Our project also has a 43-101-compliant vanadium resource. We’re the third-largest known deposit of vanadium, according to Dundee. So we now have a second mineral. They’re both deemed to be strategic, and graphite is now deemed critical by the EU, China and the United States, so for us to have both of those in the same place is unique.

“We have a strategic alliance with DRA Mineral Products,” Nykoliation adds. “They’re our technical partner, and they do total mine design all the way to operational mines. They do engineering, procurement, management, construction, everything. For DRA to put an equity position into a company is very rare. They’ve only done that three times and never with a company at this stage. This shows their confidence in the project.

“They’re Africa’s largest mine development company, they build and run mines for Xstrata XSRAF, Rio Tinto RIO, Vale VALE—they’re world class. For them to be partnering with little old Energizer shows we have something of interest to them. One of their directors has joined our board; another joined our special advisory committee. These aren’t silent partners; they’re very engaged.”

Nykoliation continues, “So what makes our project stand out is the project’s size, its large flake and its high purities. No one else can say they have the combination of those three. Then consider the strategic alliance and now the equity investment by DRA, which is very unique. Given that we’re in Madagascar, our location to the markets is another key advantage. There’s the location to Asia and Europe. The big, big buyers of vanadium and graphite are going to be Asian. So the fact that Madagascar is close to the Asian market is a big bonus for us.

“We’re moving very quickly to resource drilling. Our geologist and senior Vice-President of Exploration Craig Scherba will be back in Madagascar in April. The rainy season ends in March. We’ll delineate a 43-101-compliant resource on the graphite in very short order. We should have it finished by July or August. We’ll be in a position to have completed our preliminary economic assessment on the graphite by the end of Q3 and we’ll be in a position to go to bankable feasibility by Q4 of this year. We’re moving very quickly.

“We have the money, we’re well-funded right now. So for us it’s pitter, patter, let’s get at her,” he declares.

Nykoliation concludes, “We have this very, very large discovery; we’re developing a camp; we have very good grades and wide intersections; we have large/jumbo flake graphite; and we have an excellent partner in DRA. We also have large institutional backers. Cliffs Natural Resources owns 6% of our company. Investors Group owns 9.9%. Dundee owns a chunk of us. So we have very good partners.”

Idea of Interest
March 22, 2012

Energizer Resources Inc. (TSX: EGZ, Not Rated)

Energizer Resources is a mineral exploration and development company based in Toronto with properties in Madagascar hosting two ‘strategic’ minerals – vanadium and graphite. EGZ currently has one of the largest vanadium resources in the world (43-101 compliant) with over 890MM lbs of V205 grading 0.67% V205 in its 100%-owned Green Giant project in southern Madagascar. While the vanadium resource alone may be sufficient to build a mine, given strong prospects for sizeable graphite mineralization, the company switched its focus in 2011 to exploring for graphite. With strong institutional backing, funding already in hand for their ambitious 2012 programs, and plenty of milestones and news-flow this year, we believe Energizer will be in the spotlight in 2012.

Reasons why investors should know this stock:

- Ambitious 2012 Plans – Management expects to spend up to approx. $4MM on exploration drilling and metallurgy, resulting in an initial resource and PEA in the latter part of this year. This should position the company to start a bankable feasibility study (BFS) in early 2013. Management has also started discussions with appropriate authorities regarding exploitation permitting.

- News-flow and exploration upside potential – Only 7 of 17 zones have been drilled so far. Highlights included drill-core intersections of 6.24% C over 118.6m, trench intersections up to 7.11% C over 106m, and data confirming mineralization extending to surface. On their 75:25 JV property (with Malagasy Minerals), exploration identified graphite mineralization > 330m and open along strike; grab sample assays indicated up to 71.9% C. With only a portion of assay results received so far, there should be a healthy flow of drill results in the upcoming months from last year’s program and this year’s drilling along with metallurgical updates.

- Agreement with DRA pivotal – Earlier this year, EGZ signed an agreement with DRA Mineral Projects, a world-leading process and mine development firm, for the development of EGZ’s graphite and vanadium projects. DRA will be a technical partner and will provide full EPCM services to the company. In addition, two highly experienced directors have joined the company from DRA that can make a critical contribution in taking EGZ from a junior exploration company to a producer; Johann de Bruin will sit on the board of EGZ and Robin Borley will be appointed to a special advisory committee. They will interface with the company on a weekly basis to lend their expertise.

- Cashed up with strong institutional backing – The company has a good roster of institutional shareholders including Dundee Corp (7.7%), Pinetree, AGF, Sprott and Investors Group (9.9%). In addition, Cliffs Natural Resources (NYSE: CLF, Not rated) owns ~8.7%. With $6.5MM of cash on hand, management believes they have sufficient funding to carry them through to next year.

Monday’s Graphite Market Mover: Energizer Resources

Amid all the red we have been seeing on Graphite Stocks today, shares of Energizer Resources Inc. (TSX: EGZ | OCTBB: ENZR) closed 6.06% higher today at CDN$0.35. Energizer Resources is a mineral exploration and development company focused on its Green Giant graphite project located in Madagascar. The site is host to one of the world’s largest deposits of vanadium and with the recent discovery of graphite the project will offer two strategic minerals from the same source. Currently Energizer Resources is targeting production by the end of 2014.

The primary product will be flake graphite and Energizer Resources has appointed DRA Mineral Projects as its technical partner. During the course of the Phase I exploration program surficial graphitic trends were identified on the Green Giant site. These graphite trends were visually determined to be of higher carbon content and larger in size than the graphite trends associated with the NI 43-101 vanadium resource mineralization.

The project is located in South Central Madagascar and 145 kilometers southeast of the city of Toliara in the Tulear Region. The site encompasses 2,155 licenses totaling 1,052.7 square kilometers. Energizer Resources has 100% ownership of 36 licenses and the remaining 2,119 licenses are 75% owned through a joint venture (JV) with Malagasy Minerals Limited (ASX: MGY). The JV project is known as the Malagasy JV graphite project and it is adjacent to the Green Giant site.

A Phase II exploration program for the Green Giant project began in November 2011 with the objective to enhance exploration efforts with additional drill testing of the graphitic trends and to apply geophysical techniques to better delineate graphite mineralization. Results indicate that of the 25% of the grab samples analyzed so far, as much as 21.3% carbon has been realized. Of the diamond drill hole samples analyzed to date, diamond drill core assays as high as 21% have been received, with the most significant intersection being 7.46% carbon over 61.4 meters of down-hole length. Results from 16 trenches over 1,912 meters are still outstanding.

On April 4, 2012, Energizer Resources announced assay results of the Molo Zone on the Malagasy JV graphite site that confirmed graphite mineralization at the surface and down to a drill hole depth of 108 meters at a grade of 8.8% carbon. These results in conjunction with positive results from two other zones known as Fotsy and Fondrana will allow Energizer Resources to define a new graphite camp in southern Madagascar.

In total 17 graphite trends have been identified with a cumulative strike length of 320 kilometers on the Green Giant and the Malagasy graphite sites. In terms of next steps, once all graphite analyses is completed Energizer Resources’ geoscientists will determine which of the graphitic zones are significant enough to warrant further drilling with the intent to move the project forward with a NI 43-101 compliant resource by the third quarter of 2012. Samples have been submitted to laboratories for metallurgical analyses and Energizer Resources will continue to endeavor to move the project along as swiftly as possible.

Energizer Releases Latest Molo Assays and Announces Resource Drill Program; Targeting 50 to 100 Million Tonne Graphite Deposit

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - April 30, 2012) - Energizer Resources Inc. (TSX:EGZ)(OTCBB:ENZR)(FRANKFURT:YE5) ("Energizer" or the "Company") is pleased to announce additional assay results from the Molo deposit on its Green Giant Project. The latest assays received from the Molo deposit confirm graphite mineralization is at surface, and extends to a vertical depth of at least 90 metres at grades between 6.9% and 14.6% carbon (C). The Molo graphite deposit is located on the joint venture (JV) property with Malagasy Minerals Limited ("Malagasy") (ASX:MGY) in Madagascar, in which Energizer has a 75% ownership interest.

Focus Will be on Molo Graphite Deposit - NI 43-101 Resource Drilling to Begin Within Two Weeks

These latest drill hole assays continue to confirm that extensive surficial graphite mineralization extends to depth over the Molo deposit. As a result, the Company is now focusing its full attention and resources behind fast tracking the delineation of a National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101) compliant resource at the Molo deposit. Based on work completed to date, the Company is targeting a resource between 50 and 100 million tonnes within a grade range of 6 to 10% C.

This resource delineation program is scheduled to begin within two weeks and is estimated to take two months. The resource drilling will total approximately 7,500 meters and will utilize two Boart Longyear diamond drills, which are already on site. Energizer's exploration team, led by Senior Vice President of Exploration Craig Scherba, P. Geol., has previous experience in this regard, having already delineated a NI 43-101 compliant stand-alone vanadium resource of 49.5 million tonnes at an average grade of 0.693% V2O5 and an inferred resource of 9.7 million tonnes at an average grade of 0.632% V2O5, located on the Green Giant property.

Non-Compliant NI 43-101 Statement - The potential quantity and grade of the target graphite deposit is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to adequately define a mineral resource in accordance with NI 43-101 requirements. Further exploration to define a compliant NI 43-101 resource will commence shortly, and although the Company sees no reason why a compliant mineral resource would not be defined there is no guarantee that further exploration will result in the target graphite deposit being defined as a mineral resource. The potential quantity and grade of the target graphite deposits have been determined through the progression of exploration methodology and initial metallurgical testing. This included airborne surveys, ground geophysics, mapping, trenching and diamond drill holes, in conjunction with assay results. The low range of the resource target is based on confirmed surficial mineralization and drill hole intersection assays to date. The high range of the resource target is based solely on confirmed surficial mineralization with no sub-surface drilling. Samples are collected in accordance with strict QA/QC protocols, and sent to accredited test facilities for obtaining assay results.

DRA Engineers to Begin Outlining Mine Site

Shortly after the commencement of drilling, DRA Mineral Projects will send an engineering team to site to begin quantifying data required for a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) of the Molo deposit. During this time, DRA will begin outlining the mine site parameters, including production facilities and infrastructure.

Jumbo Flake Graphite at an Average Purity of 93% Confirmed

Preliminary metallurgical analysis indicates that Jumbo flake (i.e. +50 mesh) graphite at an average purity of 93% C can be easily liberated through simple crushing of the Molo deposit graphite.

This metallurgical insight, coupled with the wide widths and high grades quantified through assays, has prompted the Company to expedite and focus its full attention on the delineation of a NI 43-101 compliant resource at the Molo deposit.

Molo Graphite Assays Continue to Confirm Size and Grade

The Company has now received assay results from 5 of the 7 diamond drill holes completed over the Molo deposit. Of the 7 drill holes, 6 were drilled into the western arm of a fold, with a strike length of at least 2 kilometres, with the remaining hole (MOLO-06) drilled into a surficially exposed graphitic ridge 1 kilometre to the west of the central core of the Molo deposit. Of the holes received (MOLO-01 to MOLO-05), graphite mineralization was intersected to a down-hole depth of 108 metres, with composited grades ranging from 6.94% C to 14.63% C. The table below summarizes the intersections from all 5 holes received.

Drill Hole 	From(m) To(m) 	Interval(m) 	C%)

MOLO-01 	0 	108           	108 	8.8

incl.   	23 	72      	49 	10.09

MOLO-04 	50 	104     	54 	7.27

MOLO-05 	37 	125     	88 	7.92

*Molo-02 was drilled in the opposite direction of Molo-1 from the same collar location.

Additional Fotsy and Fondrana Assays Confirm Multiple Stand-Alone Graphite Deposit Potential

Energizer turned its attention to graphite in November 2011, and continues to identify new graphite opportunities on its 120 kilometre-long Green Giant Project. Through the completion of 29 diamond drill holes over 3,780 metres, 20 trenches over 1,900 metres, regional sampling with 670 prospecting samples, geological mapping of 3 areas, analysis of 3 airborne geophysical surveys, and the completion of 160.5 kilometres of ground-based electromagnetic geophysical surveying, the Company has identified over 320 kilometres of graphitic trends.

The Company has now received assay results from 12 of the 14 diamond drill holes completed over the Fotsy deposit, and 5 of the 6 diamond drill holes completed over the Fondrana deposit. Graphite mineralization was intersected to a down-hole depth of 138.5 metres, with composited grades ranging from 5.19% C to 12.16% C. The table below summarizes the intersections from all recently received drill holes.

Drill Hole 	From(m) To(m)	Interval(m) 	C%)

FOND-04 	15 	40.5 		25.5 	5.27

FOND-04 	69 	135 		66 	5.63

FOND-06 	62.05 	68 		5.95 	6.2

FOTSY-07 	7 	21.37 		14.37 	5.27

FOTSY-07 	41.44 	53.7 		12.26 	6.34

FOTSY-11 	12 	17.5 		5.5 	5.74

FOTSY-11 	126.5 	138.5 		12 	6.91

FOTSY-12 	67.43 	72.5 		5.07 	12.16

FOTSY-12 	74 	88.75 		14.75 	5.49

FOTSY-12 	112.35 	119 		6.65 	9.9

FOTSY-13 	27 	61 		34 	5.19

The assay results for the Fotsy and Fondrana confirm the Green Giant Project has the potential to host multiple stand-alone graphite deposits. In order to expedite project development however, the Company will focus exploration and engineering efforts on the Molo graphite deposit.

Energizer Resources Announces Mineralization Results from Molo Resource in Madagascar


Energizer Resources (TSX: EGZ) has been developing its Green Giant property in Madagascar, which has extensive graphite (as well as vanadium) deposits. Last December, the company has found five graphite trends and it has formed a joint venture (75/20) with Malagasy Minerals (MGY) to explore a property surrounding Green Giant for graphite. Energizer found 3.8% graphitic carbon in its vanadium trend in the extended property with higher quality grades in areas exclusive to graphite. Energizer said that this represents the single largest graphite discovery in Madagascar in a property that is 320 km long altogether with deposits showing very high purity levels, easily able to meet the requirements for Li-ion batteries destined for the nascent electric automobile industry.

On April 30, Energizer announced results of its Molo drilling program and the potential to define the new graphite field in southern Madagascar. Assays from the Molo zone have indicated the presence of both extensive surface and depth (reaching a depth of 108 meters) graphite mineralization at grades ranging from 6.9% to 14.6% carbon. Energizer has described the graphitic area at Molo to be multi-folded “with a surface-exposed strike length of over 2 km and resistant ridges of graphite-rich rock”. Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, the project will cover about 40% of Malagasy’s prospective tenement. Energizer says that, on the basis of the promising assays, it should issue a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) by next October. In view of the results announced today, Energizer will concentrate on delineating an NI 43-101 compliant resource at Molo aiming for a target of between 50 and 100 million tons of graphite at grades of 6-10%. The resource delineation program should last two months and begin by mid-May thanks to a total 7,500 meter drilling program. The assays also confirmed the presence of jumbo flake (+50 mesh) graphite at an average 93% purity.

Energizer has established partnerships with DRA Mineral Projects, a South African mine development firm that has also worked with Rio Tinto (RIO) and Vale (VALE), which should help speed up the PEA process and begin graphite production within two years time. Accordingly, DRA Mineral Projects will start gathering data, determining the mine site parameters such as production facilities, determining infrastructure to prepare the PEA. The Green Giant project, overall, includes 29 drill holes, 20 trenches and regional sampling with 670 samples. Energizer is also developing the Fotsy and Fondrana deposits at the Green Giant property. In these areas, Energizer has announced that samples have indicated grades ranging from 5.19% to 12.16% up to depths of 138 meters, which suggests that Green Giant should support multiple stand alone deposits; however, the exploration and engineering will be focused on Molo for the time being in order to speed up development.

Expert Analysis

Beat the Market (4/30/12) "Not only has Energizer Resources Inc. delivered the most impressive results to date of any company drilling in this emerging sector, the company is far ahead of anyone else on the production curve establishing milestones which hint that the Green Giant project, specifically the Molo deposit, will be fast tracked to production over the next 18 to 24 months. . .the company has quietly identified a graphite camp at Green Giant and is materially undervalued, considering they have in combination one of the largest and highest-grading vanadium deposits in the world."

Energizer Resources Selects Molo Deposit for Mine Development;

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 05/24/12 -- Energizer Resources Inc. (TSX:EGZ)(OTCBB:ENZR)(FRANKFURT:YE5) ("Energizer" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the receipt of all graphite assays from its Phase I and II exploration programs conducted in Q4, 2011. These assays confirm wide intercepts of graphite mineralization with composite grades between 7.3% and 11.2% carbon ( C ) within the Molo Deposit, and support the Company's intention to delineate a National Instrument (NI) 43-101 resource for the Molo. The Molo graphite deposit is located on the joint venture (JV) property with Malagasy Minerals Limited in Madagascar, in which Energizer has a 75% ownership interest.

Molo Deposit Selected for Mine Development; NI 43-101 Resource Drilling Initiated

The Company's most recent exploration program, which included airborne surveys, ground geophysics, mapping, trenching and 29 diamond drill holes, has provided the basis to evaluate several potential graphite deposits on its properties. The objective of this evaluation was to select which deposit would present the best overall parameters, including economics and quality of product, to move forward to production. Included in the analysis were the Molo, Fondrana, Fotsy and Seta deposits.

This evaluation has now been completed and the Company has selected the Molo Deposit to be brought to mine development. The Company intends to expedite this process and is targeting 2014/2015 for production. It should be noted that this evaluation included metallurgical analysis, which confirms that jumbo flake (i.e. +50 mesh) graphite at an average purity of 93% C can be easily liberated through simple crushing of the Molo deposit graphite.

The Company is targeting a resource between 50 and 100 million tonnes on the Molo Deposit with a grade range of between 6 to 10% C. The resource drill program has commenced, utilizing two Boart Longyear diamond drills and is being led by Energizer's Senior Vice President of Exploration, Craig Scherba, P. Geol. Drilling is estimated to take two months.

Molo Deposit Has Key Mining Attributes

A key characteristic of the Molo deposit is that the graphite is immediately at surface, which will allow for very cost-effective open pit mining. In addition to having the significant surficial expression of graphite, the Molo is also located in an area with an ideal geographical setting as well as ideal terrain. The terrain is semi-arid and almost flat - two features that give the Molo a unique topographical signature not found in most deposits. The climate also adds to the ease of mining, as this area of Madagascar has a very temperate climate with a mild rainy season from December to March.

The local Malagasy people are excellent workers who have offered great cooperation and assistance to Energizer. As the largest employer in the region, Energizer has hired up to 100 people at any one time to support its exploration programs.

Assay Results

Drill hole MOLO-07 was from the central core of the Molo deposit and intersected 106 metres of graphite mineralization at 8.44% C, including a higher-grade interval of 37 metres at 11.17% C.

Drill hole MOLO-06 intersected 27 metres of graphite mineralization at 7.25% C and was drilled into a surficially exposed graphitic ridge 1 kilometre to the west, and parallel to the Molo deposit. These latest assay results confirm that this surficially exposed graphitic ridge (which extends for a minimum of 12 kilometres in strike length), extends to a vertical depth of at least 108 metres.

Drill holes SETA-02 and SETA-03 intersected 41 metres of graphite mineralization at 5.42% C and 28.6 metres of graphite mineralization at 5.77% C respectively. These drill holes were emplaced to test the depth extension of a 1.8 kilometre long ridge of graphite. The results confirm graphite mineralization extends to depth. Due to the wider widths of mineralization intersected at the Molo however, the focus of the Company's resource delineation program will be the Molo Deposit.

Mr. Albert A. Thiess, Jr. appointed Company Director and Chair of Capital Projects and Mine Development Committee

Energizer is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Albert A. Thiess, Jr. to the Company's board of directors and as Chair of its Capital Projects and Mine Development Committee (the "Committee") effective May 22, 2012.

Energizer Resources Intersects 434 Metres of Graphite Mineralization in Drill Core

Energizer Resources announced today it has intersected wide intercepts of graphite mineralization from its recently initiated National Instrument (NI) 43-101 graphite resource drill program on the Molo deposit. The Company can now confirm that the Molo deposit begins immediately at surface, which will allow for very cost-effective open pit mining and extends to a vertical depth of over 300 metres as evidenced by drill hole MOLO-12-01, which intersected 434 metres of graphite mineralization.
In addition to having this significant surficial expression of graphite at high grades, the Molo is also located in an area with an ideal geographical setting as well as ideal terrain. The terrain is semi-arid and almost flat -two features that give the Molo a unique topographical signature not found in most deposits. The climate also adds to the ease of mining, as this area of Madagascar has a very temperate climate with a mild rainy season from December to March.
We encourage you to visit Energizer's Website to view a photo gallery of recent pictures taken from the Molo Zone, which include images of the trenches discussed in this release.
Our early metallurgical testing on the Molo deposit confirmed that jumbo flake (i.e. +50 mesh) graphite, at anaverage purity of 93% carbon, can be easily liberated through simple crushing alone. This is quite significant and is expected to have very positive implications to the future mine's capital and operating expenditures.
Over the next several weeks, I look forward to updating you on further news and developments on the Molo graphite deposit as we fast-track to production.

Energizer Resources Intersects 434 Metres of Graphite Mineralization in Drill Core
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 4, 2012) - Energizer Resources Inc. (TSX:EGZ)(OTCBB:ENZR)(FRANKFURT:YE5) ("Energizer" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has intersected wide intercepts of graphite mineralization from its recently initiated National Instrument (NI) 43-101 graphite resource drill program on the Molo deposit. The Molo is located on the Green Giant Graphite project joint venture (JV) property with Malagasy Minerals Limited in Madagascar, in which Energizer has a 75% ownership interest and is the operator.

In normal circumstances, the Company would not issue a press release describing mineralization without accompanying assay data. However, due to the wide intercepts of graphite mineralization intersected, the Company deems this information to be material.

Samples collected from the drill core have been sent out for assay, and the Company anticipates the receipt of the first assay results in approximately 6 weeks. Previous metallurgical analysis conducted at two different laboratories have confirmed that the Molo deposit contains jumbo flake (i.e. +50 mesh) graphite at an average purity of 93% C and can be easily liberated through simple crushing.

434 Metres of Graphite Mineralization Intersected in Drill Core

The Company has completed 5 diamond drill holes at the Molo as part of its 2012 resource drill program. All drill holes were completed along a single drill section, and in conjunction with ongoing drilling will be used to produce a NI 43-101 compliant graphite resource.

Based on assays from the 7 diamond drill holes previously intersected in the 2011 drilling campaign at the Molo deposit, the geological logging and visual inspection of the drill core for these latest 5 holes indicates that the graphite content appears to be similar.

The Company can now confirm that the Molo deposit begins immediately at surface, and extends to a vertical depth of over 300 metres as evidenced by drill hole MOLO-12-01, which intersected 434 metres of graphite mineralization. The confirmation of graphite mineralization at surface is believed by the Company to be a key benefit of the Molo, as it should allow for cost-effective open pit mining.

Molo Deposit Well Positioned for Mine Development

These latest resource-drilling results reinforce Energizer's selection of the Molo Deposit for mine development. The Company, in conjunction with its technical engineering partner DRA Mineral Projects, is now expediting development and is targeting early 2015 for production.

The Molo is located in an area that has good access via a network of seasonal secondary roads from the nearby village of Fotadrevo, which in turn has access to a regional road system that leads to the ocean port of Tulear. The port of Tulear is an international shipping container port, located 160 kilometres to the west of the Molo.

Water is readily available due to the shallow water table and local river system and the power requirements of a graphite operation can be easily met with diesel power. The proximity of the Sakoa coal project (located 30 kilometres away), which is expected to commence development this year, could provide Energizer with the added option of infrastructure sharing opportunities and other synergies.

The Molo is located in an ideal geographical setting for a mine. The area is dry and semi-desert like with very little vegetation, has a very low regional population density, and has relatively flat terrain. The climate also adds to the ease of mining, as this area of Madagascar has a very temperate climate with a mild rainy season from December to March.

Drill Results

Diamond drill hole (DDH) MOLO-12-01 was emplaced to test both the western and eastern edge of the Molo deposit. DDH MOLO-12-02 was drilled in order to define the western-most edge of the Molo deposit, while DDH MOLO-12-03 through 05 were drilled to define the eastern-most edge of the Molo deposit.

Graphite Mineralization on Surface

Geological mapping has identified numerous graphitic outcrops. Trenching over the Molo deposit has verified graphite mineralization is found at surface, and intervening soil-covered areas between graphite outcrops have graphitic bedrock mineralization at depths ranging between 10 cm and 1 metre below the soil. To-date, two trenches have been excavated over the Molo deposit, exposing continuous graphite mineralization over 300 metre lengths. Samples collected from the trenches have been sent out for assay, and the Company anticipates the receipt of the first assay results in approximately 6 weeks.

Pictures of the trenches and the Molo deposit area can be viewed on Energizer's website at www.energizerresources.com.

Drilling and Trenching Confirm Effectiveness of Geophysics

The drill and trench intersections obtained to date confirm that both the ground-based EM-31, and time domain electromagnetic airborne geophysical surveys are highly effective at identifying graphite mineralization. The EM-31 is effective in delineating near-surface mineralization, while the time domain airborne survey is effective in detecting graphite mineralization at depth.

Due to the high correlation between the geophysics, drill core and conductors, the Company is confident in obtaining a NI 43-101 resource ranging between 50 and 100 million tonnes on the Molo deposit with a grade range of between 6 to 10% C. The Company anticipates the NI 43-101 report will be available by Q3-Q4 of this year.

Expert Analysis
Christopher Skidmore, Beat the Market (6/4/12) "Ever since Energizer Resources Inc. announced it made a major discovery of a flake graphite camp in Madagascar, Green Giant has been an intriguing grassroots graphite discovery to watch develop. The company has drill-tested four discoveries, all which have the 'right stuff' to start a graphite mine; Energizer recently announced results of Molo, which were so good, no results from any graphite company to date compare."

The Critical Metals Report Interview with Byron King (6/12/12) "Energizer Resources Inc. [makes] an exceptional case for the future. . .its [Madagascar site] is an astonishingly large deposit of super-high-grade graphite. Every time Energizer drills another hole, it finds more, usually better data that improves the overall quality. In terms of the development logistics, I think it is extremely do-able at a fairly low cost. . .its vanadium and graphite are practically co-terminus within the same deposits and the same claims; I have seen the drill cores. When Energizer realized it was sitting on top of a super, world-class graphite deposit, it changed the focus of its development plan from vanadium to graphite. I think the vanadium deposits will be developed in due course. But graphite gives the company more bang for the buck, and a heck of a lot sooner." More >

Energizer puts Molo's graphite in fast lane

SITE VISIT

By: Matthew Keevil

TULEAR REGION, SOUTHERN MADAGASCAR

2012-06-25

It has been a story of evolution by discovery for Energizer Resources (EGZ-T), a Toronto-based explorer with significant land holdings in southern Madagascar. The company was originally billed as a prospective vanadium producer — its Green Giant property holds a 60-million-tonne resource grading 0.7% vanadium oxide — but chance intervened when Energizer discovered a series of graphite trends in late 2011, culminating in the unearthing of its newly minted flagship asset, the Molo deposit.

Flying into Energizer’s camp it is evident the company has been at work for a while. Its 30-person facility features air conditioning, wireless Internet access, a cell tower and 24-hour power. A rustic local town has expanded to the camp’s edge, and the well-tended dirt runway makes for a smooth landing after a three-hour, southbound flight from Antananarivo, Madagascar’s capital city.

The story began as a uranium play, according to Chairman and CEO Kirk McKinnon, before exploration efforts unveiled a volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) trend not unlike Nevsun Resources’ Eritrean assets, where Energizer senior vice-president of operations and vice-president of exploration Craig Scherba had been involved.

“Craig picked up on the compelling nature of the vanadium geology as exploration proceeded,” McKinnon comments. “We didn’t set out saying we’re going into the uranium, vanadium or graphite business, but when you’re dealt a good hand, you better play it.”

The graphite breakthrough didn’t come until Scherba’s geological pilgrimage to the University of Toronto, where technicians reassessed Energizer’s vanadium samples, and noticed an intriguing amount of the carbon allotrope. With new data in hand, Scherba returned to Madagascar and made exciting discoveries.

“We wanted to delineate what we thought was a graphite camp here, not just a deposit. We’re in a unique metamorphic environment, with amphibolite and granulite aspects that are key hosts to graphite mineralization,” Scherba says during a drive to Energizer’s Fotsy deposit. “You can’t just have metamorphic rock — you have to have extremely high temperatures to cook off all the volatiles. There aren’t that many places where you have those large, metamorphic terrains, plus the temperatures needed to create the sort of mineralized bodies we’re looking at now.”

The terrain is mostly flat. You can see for kilometres in any direction and navigate a four-wheeler over a sparse, flat savannah dotted with bursts of vibrant green, where broad-leafed trees have tapped a shallow, 15-metre water table to provide zebu herders and shepherds a shady respite from the midday sun.

Roadways sometimes more akin to broad cart tracks make for a bumpy ride, but a regional quarry transports 20-tonne stone blocks via daily truck loads to the port of Tulear 160 km northwest, Scherba points out, making the infrastructure sufficient for a graphite operation.

“Madagascar is basically a bit of a backwater right now,” McKinnon comments when asked about infrastructure. “As things move forward I think the country is going to get a lot more attention because all of a sudden, we have companies investing billions. That’s going to change things. And to be honest, I’d rather have that infrastructure and be in a savannah-desert style setting with no ecological issues, than deal with the prolific red-tape and cold climates you’d have in Canada.”

McKinnon is referring to Sherritt International’s (S-T) US$5.5-billion Ambatovy joint-venture nickel project in northern Madagascar, with major ­partners Sumitomo and Korea Resources. In addition, Thailand-based coal outfit Asia Pacific Mining is considering moving forward with a US$400-million development at its Sakoa coalfield 30 km northwest of Energizer’s camp.

“When we were originally looking at the vanadium project the capital costs were quite high, so we were really looking to create synergies with the Sakoa project to help with our economics,” Scherba says as he sweeps his hand across a regional map. “With the graphite we can operate independently with a lot more confidence. For example, where the coal operation needs to build an additional deepwater port to the south, we are able to use the existing port in Tulear for shipping. Quite literally we don’t need any additional infrastructure whatsoever.”

Energizer’s Green Giant graphite-vanadium play covers 1,057 sq. km of mineral concessions and 320 km of aggregate strike length. The company announced the discovery of flake graphite in early January following 3,800 metres of diamond drilling, 1,900 metres of trenching, and 670 regional prospecting samples.

Out of 2,155 mineral licences at Green Giant, 36 are 100% owned by Energizer and 2,119 licences fall under a joint-venture agreement with Australian partner Malagasy Minerals. Energizer holds a 75% stake.

Zeroing in on what it felt could be four mineable graphite deposits, Energizer crafted an exploration strategy to define which zone should be fast-tracked to development. The candidates included the Molo, Fotsy, Fondrana and Seta targets.

The runaway winner was the Molo deposit.

By the standards of the graphite world, Molo is impressive due to its potential size, grade and flake calibre.

Energizer unveiled a 330-metre-wide graphitic zone at surface during trenching activities, and for a visitor standing along the open trench, it is certainly impressive. The soil sparkles in bright sunlight, flakes of carbon mark outcrops and the dirt is dark and luminous.

Energizer confirmed Molo’s mineralization extends from surface to depths over 300 metres during initial resource drilling, when the company intersected 434 metres of carbon in hole 12-01 in early June.

Walking through knee-high grass in Molo’s central zone — also the target of the resource drill program — it is hard not to be struck by the deposit’s potential size. Scherba points out the trend continues to a ridge visible in the ­distance, and with depth established, it is not hard to imagine ­Energizer meeting its resource target of 80 to 100 million tonnes at grades between 6% and 10% carbon.

“What we’re trying to present to the market is an opportunity in regards to deposit size, as well as a location where you’re close to a lot of key consumers,” McKinnon says. “It’s not a question of having enough — it’s having a very good grade and having something that has the right metallurgy. On top of that it is ease of operations, where we have a deposit at surface with low strip ratios. The fact that we will be able to supply so much at competitive cash costs should give us an advantage.”

When McKinnon talks about metallurgy he’s referring to Energizer’s ability to achieve jumbo-flake graphite (+50 mesh) at 93% purity via simple crushing techniques. Large-flake graphite at purities exceeding 93% can sell for as much as US$3,000 per tonne. Typically graphite processing requires a flotation unit to reach marketable grades.

“Our biggest advantage is in the processing circuit right now,” Scherba explains, as he produces jumbo-flake graphite from Molo grab samples using a portable crushing unit in his lab. “Basically with the rock here, when you break it apart, the graphite will stay while the other material just crumbles away. So when you do the crushing process and send it through the sieves, the graphite stays on top and our jumbo- and large-flake graphite just comes out of that front-end process.”

In a bid to expedite Molo’s development, Energizer has partnered with South African project manager DRA International, which has extensive experience operating in the region, having done work with majors like Anglo American (AAUKY-Q) and BHP Billiton (BHP-N).

“Given that this is a unique sector, an emerging sector and our unique insights and commitments, we think it is important to stay with it from a business-building standpoint,” McKinnon comments, when asked about Energizer’s lack of experience as mine developers. “It’s not our intention to necessarily apply our experiences to running a mine. It’s our intention to use DRA.”

The partnership involves DRA taking direct roles in project development, as well as facilitating infrastructure synergies with the Malagasy government and stakeholders in the nearby Sakoa coal project. Two experienced DRA engineers have joined Energizer’s board of directors — Johann de Bruin, who runs DRA’s business development department, and Robin Borley, a certified mine manager also involved at Sakoa.

The goal is to nail down a preliminary economic assessment by year-end and move onto feasibility work, with production targeted for late 2014. Scherba explains it may be possible to start-up an earlier pilot stage where Energizer runs a smaller-scale crushing operation to prove economic viability to the market. During initial testing DRA established it could achieve battery-grade graphite purity with chemical separation as the project expands.

Energizer realizes that having the flake size, supply and grades are important, but when it comes to the graphite market it is the end-user demand that can make or break a deal. The company believes the versatility of its deposits — containing jumbo-flake and amorphous smaller-flake graphite, as well as potential for battery grades — uniquely position it to meet demand from offtake partners at competitive cash costs. But McKinnon counsels caution and patience when dealing with such negotiations.

“I don’t think we necessarily have to be zeroing in on offtake agreements right now. There is definitely a chance you can do something too quickly with this sort of deposit. We need to touch all the important elements in the marketplace, all the known offtake opportunities,” he stresses. “We’re focusing on the U.S. at the moment, but we’ll be visiting Europe at the end of the month. I still think having Chinese partners or arrangements are essential because they are the ‘elephant,’ and aren’t going to let somebody — I don’t care how big your deposit is — come into the market and dominate it.”

China remains omnipresent in the graphite business, accounting for 80% of the world’s production, while also being the largest net importer. But there are signs that China’s reserves may be trending downwards. The country imposed a 20% export duty and 17% value added tax on the resource in an attempt to support its increasing domestic demand.

Speculation of supply shortages and incremental demand increases from new technologies like lithium-ion batteries, pebble-bed nuclear reactors and renewable energies have caused an exploration boom in the graphite sector, prompting a race to production that pits Energizer against juniors like Northern Graphite (NGC-V) and Focus Graphite (FMS-V), which have advanced-stage projects in northern Ontario and ­Quebec, respectively.

“There’s definitely a ‘graphite wave’ there, but not all of these deposits are going to make it into production, that’s just a fact,” McKinnon says. “We certainly have the quantities . . . a single graphite deposit with 100 million tonnes, and satellite deposits with anywhere from 20 to 40 million tonnes.”

Energizer feels its flake size, consistently high grades and growth potential give it a leg up on its competitors. Drilling at its nearby Fondrana deposit has hit highlights that include 6.24% carbon over 119 metres, 5.6% carbon over 66 metres and 5.3% carbon over 26 metres. Energizer’s Fotsy deposit has demonstrated similar potential with intersects of 12.2% carbon over 5 metres, 7% carbon over 12 metres and 5.2% carbon over 34 metres.

Energizer speculates that Fotsy and Fondrana could contain in excess of 25 million tonnes at 6.5% carbon grades, and remain open to further exploration if demand takes off. The company maintains a bevy of other regional targets that are ripe for further study.

Molo’s challenges involve project financing and offtake negotiations, as well as solidifying shareholder value in the face of volatile markets. Energizer maintains a relatively loose share structure, with 154 million shares outstanding and a 52-week range between 15¢ and 45¢.

McKinnon says his benchmark is getting to production without going beyond 200 million shares outstanding. The company has US$5 million in cash and marketable securities, so it should be able to avoid further dilution through Molo’s feasibility process. Energizer has bounced around in the 25¢ to 45¢ range over the past 12 weeks on 252,000-share average daily volumes. The company closed at 33¢ per share at presstime with a US$51-million market capitalization.

“Do I think our share price should be higher? Absolutely. Do I think it will get higher? Absolutely. The issue we have right now is that the market is pretty tight, and there is a lot of uncertainty,” McKinnon declares. “This is a time where if you have a unique opportunity and product, you can stand apart from the market. Uncertainty causes a lot of money to stand on the sidelines. If you can convince people that even though general investing isn’t attractive you have an opportunity to step above market volatility — they will listen. We think graphite has that ability.”

Energizer Resources Outlines 100 Million Tonne Footprint of the Molo Deposit with the Completion of Resource Drill Program


Energizer Resources Inc. (TSX: EGZ) (OTCBB: ENZR) (FWB: YE5) (“Energizer” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has received additional assays from its recently completed National Instrument (NI) 43-101 graphite resource drill program on the Molo deposit. The Company is now in a position to outline the prospective deposit size and boundaries, as well as the grade and tonnage.

The Molo deposit is located in the Green Giant Graphite project, and is part of the joint venture (JV) property with Malagasy Minerals Limited in Madagascar. Energizer has a 75% ownership interest and is the operator of the Project.

NI 43-101 Graphite Resource Program Complete

The recently completed drill program will provide the necessary data to complete a National Instrument (NI) 43-101 graphite resource, which will be part of the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) due in Q4 of this year. DRA Mineral Projects, Africa’s largest mine engineering, construction and operations firm, is authoring the PEA Study, while Caracle Creek International Consulting Inc. of South Africa is authoring the resource statement. In total, 41 diamond drill holes over 8,450 metres, and 18 trenches over 2,100 metres were completed during the program.

Drill and Trench Intersections Confirm Large Footprint of Molo

The Company has now received assays for the first 9 (of 41) drill holes, and the first 8 (of 18) trenches completed during the course of the recently concluded resource delineation program. Coupled with the 6 diamond drill holes and 1 trench completed during the December 2011 exploration program, this assay data confirms that the Molo has a very large footprint.

The Molo deposit exists within a folded sequence over a 2 km strike length. In the north, it is between 50 to 60 metres wide then flares to over 500 metres in width. From this point, the graphite deposit tapers down to a width of approximately 250 to 350 metres. Finally, the deposit splits into two ‘arms’ of between 50 and 100 metre widths respectively. A satellite image of the Molo deposit footprint can be viewed on the Company’s website at www.energizerresources.com.

Drill and trench data received to date, as well as mapping, prospecting and geophysical surveying, confirms graphite mineralization at surface, and over an area of at least 250,000 m¬2. Depth of mineralization has been confirmed by drilling in excess of 300 metres. Based on the size of the Molo footprint, as well as the tenor of mineralization found in the 15 drill holes (9 from 2012 and 6 from 2011) and 8 trenches received to date, the Company is confident of delineating a deposit in excess of 100 million tonnes at an average grade greater than 6% carbon (graphite)...

Reported trench and drill assays are represented as red lines and histograms. The drill holes and trenches we are awaiting assays for are represented by the black trace lines.

Filled blocks illustrate block-modeled mineralization, while the wireframe model illustrates the overall shape of the anticipated deposit (based on modal drill intercepts).

Assay Results

The drill hole and trenches were designed to delineate the extent of the Molo deposit. The first 3 holes were emplaced to help determine the eastern and western boundaries of the Molo deposit. Diamond drill holes MOLO-12-04 through MOLO-12-09 were drilled to delineate the eastern edge of the deposit.

Trench MOLO-TH-12-03 assayed 7.2% carbon over 413 metres and was emplaced to test the extent of surficial mineralization over the width of the Molo. This trench was extended further to the east. Assays are still pending on this extension. Trenches MOLO-TH-12-04 through MOLO-TH-12-07 were emplaced to test the mineralized width of the northern limb of the Molo deposit, while MOLO-TH-12-08 was emplaced to test the widths of the southern limbs of the deposit.

The table below summarizes the drill and trench intersections. A complete list of the assays are now on the company website.(Click here to view the trench assays; click here to view the drill hole assays).

Targeting Low Cost Production

Energizer’s Molo deposit possesses four key attributes that set it apart from other deposits in the world and position it to be a potential low-cost production model for the industry. These include:

An excellent topographical setting. The Molo deposit rests in a flat and semi-arid environment, with no environmental issues. With the deposit immediately at surface, operations can be optimized through little to no stripping requirements and easy access to site.

An ideal geographic location. The Molo deposit is uniquely located in the centre of the hub of key graphite demand markets of China, India, South Korea and Japan. Furthermore, the Molo deposit is in close proximity to specialty-finishing battery producers in both Korea and Japan. Currently, China must send almost all of it’s spherical cut graphite (required for batteries) to both Korea and Japan for specialty coating, which is the final, and very complex, process to produce battery-grade graphite.

At 100 million tonnes and an average grade greater than 6% carbon, the Molo would be the world’s largest known single source deposit of high-grade graphite, , In addition, the Molo deposit possesses a unique metallurgical characteristic that allows simple mechanical separation of the graphite up to 93% without flotation.

Current in-place and serviceable infrastructure for transportation water and power. Confirmed by the PanaAlpina Group, one of the world’s leading intercontinental air and ocean freight supply chain and logistics companies, the in-place infrastructure at Molo will allow for immediate production. Utilizing a now serviceable road structure from site to port, 160km away, there are existing water sources proximal to the Project. Over-the-fence power will be required initially and will be satisfactory until the nearby Sakoa Coal Field (35km away) will upgrade the now serviceable infrastructure to world-class status. Targeted to produce 5 million tonnes of coal on an annualized basis, the Sakoa Coal Field will require significant upgrades to road infrastructure, port infrastructure, and on-sight power plants that Energizer expects to tap into. It is the Company’s understanding that the Sakoa Coal Field is targeting operation between 2015 and 2016.

Energizer believes the Molo’s 100 million tonnes will be required and relevant to what the Company views as the re-emergence of electric vehicles, evidenced in recent news from Ford, General Motors, BMW, Kia, Hyundai, Nissan and Toyota.

Energizer Resources Inc. Receives Final Drill Results For Molo Deposit

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 1, 2012) - Energizer Resources Inc. (TSX:EGZ)(OTCBB:ENZR)(FRANKFURT:YE5) ("Energizer" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has received assay results for the remaining 23 drill holes and 8 trenches from its National Instrument (NI) 43-101 graphite resource drill program on the Molo deposit. This data is now with Caracle Creek International Consulting Inc. (Caracle Creek) of Johannesburg, South Africa, who will author a NI 43-101 resource for the deposit. Energizer expects the NI 43-101 resource estimate by the end of November.

DRA Mineral Projects will incorporate the NI 43-101 graphite resource statement into the Preliminary Economic Assessment Report (PEA) it is authouring for the Molo deposit. Energizer is targeting year-end for the receipt of the PEA study.

The Molo deposit is located in the Green Giant Graphite project, and is part of the joint venture (JV) property with Malagasy Minerals Limited in Madagascar. Energizer has a 75% ownership interest and is the operator of the project.

Project Developing Rapidly

In order to expedite a feasibility study, the Company will initiate pilot plant test work in South Africa at Mintek, South Africa's national minerals research organization. To maximize the potential of the Molo deposit, the Company will follow the PEA study with a feasibility study. The results of this work will guide the construction of a mobile pilot plant facility for on-site test work analysis of the Molo deposit. This will 'de-risk' the project, as well as provide suitable quantities of sample material for potential off-take partners.

Craig Scherba, President and COO of Energizer commenting "It was in December 2011 that we identified graphite as a potential 'mineral of interest' on the Green Giant property. Within one year of this time, the Company is now poised to release a NI 43-101 resource statement identifying what looks to be the largest known graphite deposit in the world. The release of this study, followed shortly thereafter with the release of the PEA report, should establish Energizer as a significant player in the graphite space and provide the catalyst for the Company to evolve from mineral exploration into resource development."

Assay Results Validate Deposit Size Potential

The Company has received assay results from its remaining 23 diamond drill holes and 8 trenches. With these results, the Company believes it has validated a potential deposit size of 80 to 120 million tonnes. As well, the assays have outlined an average grade of between 5 and 8% carbon(C), with a higher grade zone between 8 and 10% C flanking the deposit on its western edge. This zone is between 20 and 60 metres in true thickness, extends for a strike length of at least 1200 metres, and is open at depth. Assay results are from core and trench samples submitted to Genalysis Laboratory Services Pty Ltd, an accredited mineral analysis laboratory in Perth, Australia.

Cautionary Statement - The potential quantity and grade of the Molo deposit is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient assay data received at this time to properly define a mineral resource in accordance with NI 43-101 requirements and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.

The potential quantity and grade of the Molo is being determined through the progression of exploration and the assays received. To date, the company's exploration activities include airborne geophysical surveys, ground geophysics, mapping, drilling and trenching. The deposit target range is based on 47 diamond drill holes and 18 trenches.

The table below summarizes the drill and trench highlights from the latest assay dataset. An assay table summarizing all results is provided on the Company's website. It should be noted that the variation in drill hole intersections reflects the shape of the deposit. As well, a number of the shorter drill holes reflect the delineation of the boundaries of the deposit.

Energizer Resources quickly advances what could be "one of the world's largest known sources of high grade graphite"

Energizer Resources (TSE:EGZ) is rapidly developing its aptly-named Green Giant graphite project in Madagascar, focused on a projected 100 million tonne Molo deposit- enough to lift the company into the ranks of the top graphite mining projects worldwide.

The miner has recently grabbed the attention of Euro Pacific Canada, with the Toronto-based brokerage adding Energizer to its watch list.

"Although it is still early days, we believe the Molo project has the potential for 80 to 100 million tonnes of graphite at an average grade of 6.5% to 7.5%C based on the correlation between the current geophysics, trench work, drill core data and conductors," notes Euro Pacific analyst, Christina McCarthy.

After releasing final assay results on Thursday from the remaining drill holes and trenches at its Molo graphite deposit, Energizer said it expects a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate this month and a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) by the end of the year.

Highlights from these final results included hole MOLO-12-33, which reported 246m @ 8.19% carbon. Last month, Energizer reported the largest drill hole ever recorded for a graphite project. Hole MOLO-12-01 returned 421.3 meters @ 6.12% carbon.

The company has wasted no time in developing what it calls a “world class” graphite resource. “It was in December 2011 that we identified graphite as a potential 'mineral of interest' on the Green Giant property,” said president and COO Craig Scherba. “Within one year of this time, the company is now poised to release a NI 43-101 resource statement identifying what looks to be the largest known graphite deposit in the world.”

Indeed, Euro Pacific notes that the Molo deposit is a massive, 2km long multi-folded graphite trend which has the potential to be one of the world’s largest known sources of high-grade graphite. Graphite mineralization outcrops directly on surface and has been traced for over 350 meters along strike and to a vertical depth of 300 meters.

Flake graphite - the most actively pursued type and associated with next-generation technologies - is made up of layers of graphene, which is the minerals' base structural element. The global supply of the mineral as of 2011 was 1.019 million tonnes, of which 565,000 tonnes was the flake variety. Metallurgical tests confirm that Energizer’s Molo deposit is 100% flake, including jumbo and large flake at an average grade of 93% C.

According to industry sources, Euro Pacific notes that over 65 per cent of the world’s supply comes from China - the majority of which is of the amorphous variety, used for more traditional applications and for which consumption is falling.

China has also been experiencing declining production and increasing costs, recently imposing a variety of protective measures on graphite exports - including 20 per cent export duties, 17 per cent value added tax, and an export licensing system.

According to industry experts, the country has also been forcing industry wide domestic consolidation by forcing mine shutdowns and company mergers, and plans to reduce the number of graphite mines in Hunan province from 230 to around 20 mines.

"This could lead to a significant loss of global supply," says Euro Pacific's McCarthy.

Most recently, Canada has been witnessing a graphite rush; companies have been trying to take advantage of what is perceived as a huge potential for graphite demand.

Cue Toronto-based Energizer Resources. McCarthy lists several investment highlights for the graphite miner, including a "geographically ideal" project. She notes the Molo deposit is located strategically in the centre of the key graphite demand markets, which include China, India, South Korea and Japan.

The deposit is also in close proximity to specialty finishing battery producers in both Korea and Japan, where most producers send their spherical graphite for specialty coating.

The project also boasts immediately serviceable infrastructure. "The Panalpina Group is one of the world’s leading intercontinental air and ocean freight supply chain and logistics companies and has indicated the current infrastructure for transportation, water and power at the Molo Deposit is suitable for production," the research note says.

McCarthy adds that the nearby Sakoa Coal Field, which is roughly 35 kilometers from Molo, is targeting operations for 2015 and will need significant upgrades to road infrastructure, port infrastructure and on-sight power plants, into which Energizer may be able to tap.

Mineralization at the project is at surface, is open pittable, and consistent over "significant drill intercepts", with continuous trenching traced for more than 400 meters on surface. With mineralization occurring directly at surface, operations can be optimized through a low strip ratio, Euro Pacific's analyst says.

The research note also highlights favourable geology at the site, as the host rock appears to be decayed or “rotten”, resulting in easy liberation of graphite during simple crushing techniques.

"Analysis has confirmed that the Molo deposit contains jumbo (+50 mesh), large (+80 mesh), medium (-80 to +100) and small flake (-100 to -200). The Molo Deposit’s unique geology allows for simple mechanical separation processes which can be easily liberated through simple crushing resulting in 93% purity."

The Green Giant project in Madagascar is part of a joint venture with Malagasy Minerals (ASX: MGY). Energizer has a 75-per-cent stake, and is the operator of the project.

The company recently said the assay data from its final drilling and trenching results is now with Caracle Creek International Consulting of Johannesburg, South Africa, which is authoring the NI 43-101 resource for the deposit.

DRA Mineral Projects, Africa’s largest mining engineering, construction, and management company, has been commissioned by Energizer to build the mine and will incorporate the NI 43-101 graphite resource statement into the PEA for the Molo deposit.

DRA, which has built more than 200 mines, took a 1.6 per cent equity investment in Energizer earlier this year through a strategic partnership. The African company has the right to acquire up to 5 per cent of Energizer.

Euro Pacific's McCarthy says that the African partner has developed a preliminary mine design, which will have the capacity for 150,000 tonnes per year of graphite production.

Molo also has plenty of exploration upside. Drilling and trenching have found graphite mineralization to the north and south of the deposit, while there is also a limb immediately east, which mapping and geophysics have suggested may be mineralized. Known as Molo East, this limb has yet to be drill tested, and will not be included in the upcoming NI 43-101 resource estimate due this month.

To maximize the potential of the Molo deposit, Energizer has said it will follow the PEA study with a feasibility study, adding that the results of this work will guide the construction of a mobile pilot plant facility for on-site test work analysis of Molo.

Graphite is a mineral form of the element Carbon (C), and forms in veins inside metamorphic rocks as a soft black material. The industrial mineral has the highest natural strength and stiffness of any material, along with the lightest weight of all reinforcements. It is also an excellent conductor of electricity and heat, as well as strong lubricant.

It has many applications today, ranging from refractories, brake linings and steel-making uses, to lithium-ion batteries and fuel cells. The need for graphite in lithium-ion batteries is projected to grow dramatically, with these batteries found in several electronic devices, including the electric vehicle.

If there is a large push toward electric vehicle adoption, the brokerage firm notes this could result in a large demand for graphite. "Korea’s government initiated a program to build 150,000 charging stations across the country to further expand the EV market. Production of electrified vehicles is gearing up all over the world, and automakers are planning to launch an increasing variety of new models over the next few years."

Energizer Resources Reports 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate for its Green Giant, Madagascar, Graphite Property

Energizer Resources Inc. (TSX: EGZ) (OTCBB: ENZR) (FWB: YE5) (“Energizer” or the “Company”) is pleased to report the results of the mineral resource estimate for its Molo graphite deposit, located in Madagascar.

The Molo deposit is located in the Green Giant Graphite project area, and is part of the joint venture (JV) property with Malagasy Minerals Limited in Madagascar. Energizer has a 75% ownership interest and is the operator of the project.

The graphite mineral resource was prepared by Desmond Subramani, Pr.Sci.Nat.(400184/06) and John Hancox, Pr.Sci.Nat.(400224/04), independent Qualified Persons with Caracle Creek International Consulting (Pty) Ltd (CCIC) of Johannesburg, South Africa. A Technical Report in compliance with National Instrument (NI) 43-101 will be filed on SEDAR within 45 days of this release. CCIC has verified the information in this release.

Mineral Resource Estimate

The mineral resource estimate is based on 48 drill holes (total 9551 metres) and 18 trenches (total 3637 metres) drilled by Energizer, at an average spacing of 100 metres along strike and 50 metres along dip. Three mineralised zones were interpreted and modelled for the resource calculation. A ‘Low Grade’ zone is based on the graphitic gneiss lithological boundary, within which an eastern and western ‘High Grade’ zone occurs. ‘High Grade’ zones are based on a 6.0% C threshold as a guideline. The block model was developed using Datamine StudioTM software. Blocks are 40 metres long, 10 metres wide and 10 metres high. Various cut-off grades were calculated for the model, and are listed in the table provided below. All grades are reported as percentage carbon (%C).

Indicated resources totalling 84.04 Million tonnes (Mt) grading 6.36% C, above a 2% C cut-off grade.
Inferred resources totalling 40.34Mt grading 6.29% C, above a 2% C cut-off grade.
Mineralised zones in the resource estimation, start from the surface and continue to a maximum depth of 385 metres, with a total extension of 1630 metres. The zones remain open along strike and at depth.
Two ‘High Grade’ zones occur on the western and eastern flanks of the Molo deposit, with a combined total Indicated resource of 60.17 Mt, grading 8.1% C, above a 4% C cut-off grade.
Values displayed in the table are undiluted and “in-situ” as no economic parameters, such as mining, milling or metallurgy recovery have been applied to the values. As such, economic viability is yet to be established.



Interpolation Parameters

Ordinary Kriging was used to interpolate the block model using two metre sample composites. Each zone had its search ellipse parameters to interpolate the grade. A primary search ellipse (based on the geo-statistical characteristics of the deposit model) of 70 metres along strike, 40 metres down dip and 10 metres across strike was applied. A single value of 2.36t/m3 density was used for all models. Capping values of 13% C and 15% C were applied to the assays for the eastern and western ‘high’ grade zones respectively.

To report the resource and interpret the zones limits, a cut-off grade of 2% C and 4% C were applied to constrain the model for ‘Low’ and ‘High’ grade zones respectively.

Classification

Classification of the resource used the following criteria as guidelines:

The geological interpretation and its relationship with mineralisation;
Logging and sampling techniques;
The quality and reliability of the geological database;
The spatial coverage and spacing of drillholes;
Estimation technique.

Preliminary Economic Assessment Update

DRA Mineral Projects (‘DRA’) of Johannesburg, South Africa continues to author the preliminary economic assessment report (“PEA). This report was scheduled for release in December, 2012, but has now been rescheduled for release in Q1 of 2013 due to re-engineering of the plant operating parameters. According to Craig Scherba, P.Geo, President and COO of Energizer, “The calculation of our graphite resource is a significant accomplishment for the Company, and impacts the next milestone for Energizer, which is the release of our PEA study. The original mine design parameters were based on an assumed head-grade of 6% C, and with the quantification by CCIC of significant tonnage at a much higher grade (9% vs 6% C), we believe a head-grade 40-60% higher than originally designed for is obtainable. Consequently, since less material will need to be processed to obtain the same volume of graphite flake, the capital and operating requirements for the mine should be significantly reduced in relation to the original design. DRA has therefore been authorized to begin redesigning the mine based on these new parameters.

Qualified Person

Desmond Subramani, Pr.Sci.Nat. and John Hancox, Pr.Sci.Nat. of Caracle Creek International Consulting Inc. (Caracle Creek) of Johannesburg, South Africa, who arethe Independent Qualified Persons under National Instrument 43-101 responsible for the resource estimate, have reviewed this release. Both Subramani and Hancox are the authors of the NI 43-101 Resource Report, which will be filed within 45 days of this news release.

Expert Analysis
The Gold Report Interview with Jason Hamlin (12/5/12) "I also like Energizer Resources Inc. This company recently completed a drill program of more than 47 holes over 9,000m. It included the largest intersection of graphite ever reported: 421m grading 6.18 carbon, including the valuable jumbo-flake graphite at 93% purity. Plus, the mineralization is exposed at the surface, which means you can build a low-cost open-pit mine. In addition to possibly sitting on the world's largest graphite deposit, Energizer also has one of the world's largest vanadium deposits. Its PEA, expected by year-end, could well be the catalyst to push Energizer's stock price higher." More >

Deborah Bacal, Proactive Investors (12/3/12) "Shares in Toronto-based Energizer Resources Inc. advanced after it unveiled Monday an NI 43-101 resource estimate for its giant Molo graphite deposit in Madagascar, part of its aptly-named Green Giant project. . .Indicated resources at the Molo deposit consist of 84.04 Mmt, grading 6.36% carbon (C), above a 2% C cut-off grade, with inferred resources totaling 40.34 Mmt grading 6.29% C. The junior miner recently grabbed the attention of Euro Pacific Canada, with the Toronto-based brokerage adding Energizer to its watch list last month and rightly predicting between 80 to 100 Mmt of graphite at Molo."

Energizer Resources Announces Positive Sensitivity Analysis for Green Giant Molo Graphite Project

Today we released our sensitivity analysis on the Molo Graphite Project. This positive analysis is summarized in the two charts below and illustrates the robust nature of the Project. For example, if the graphite price falls off by 25% and there is a 20% OpEx cost over-run, our Project still has very positive IRR and NPV values.
Energizer believes the baseline graphite pricing used in the analysis to be conservative as it does not reflect optimization of flake size distribution through pilot plant test work. OpEx costs are also expected to decrease and the reasons why are detailed in today's press release, which you can access by clicking here.

Expert Comments:
Henry Lazenby, Mining Weekly (4/4/13) "According to Energizer Resources Inc.'s sensitivity analysis, in a worst-case scenario, where the opex had shot up to $628.10/t and the market price for graphite had fallen to $1,173/t, the Green Giant project still had an IRR of 23.7%. . .the company said it was looking to fast-track project development, and had indeed done so, having completed a technical report delineating the resource in December, and published the PEA in February, all within 15 months of making the discovery in November 2011."

The Metals Report Interview with Chris Berry (3/26/13) "Energizer Resources Inc. is currently focused on its Molo graphite deposit in Madagascar and has achieved several milestones over the past year. The company released an NI 43-101 resource report showing an extremely large deposit with significant grades, including an Indicated total of 83 Mt at 6.36% Cg and an Inferred total of 40 Mt at 6.3% Cg. A PEA was also recently published, which used relatively conservative numbers. The company has a number of partnerships in place that can help navigate the path to production. Overall, Energizer has done a great deal of work in a relatively short period of time. At first glance, the economics look promising. Now the company needs to refine them and think about the next challenges, namely offtakes and financing." More >

石墨是元素碳的一種同素異形體，每個碳原子的週邊連結著另外三個碳原子，排列方式呈蜂巢式的多個六邊形，每層間有微弱的范德華引力。由於每個碳原子均會放出一個電子，那些電子能夠自由移動，因此石墨屬於導電體。石墨是其中一種最軟的礦物，不透明且觸感油膩，顏色由鐵黑到鋼鐵灰，形狀呈晶體狀、薄片狀、鱗狀、條紋狀、層狀體或散佈在變質岩中。 [1]化学性质不活泼，具有耐腐蚀性。
用途
由於石墨的疊層結構易剝落，可於紙上書寫。

它的用途包括製造鉛筆筆芯和潤滑劑，也可作為壓力管式石墨慢化沸水反應爐（RBMK）的中子減速劑。

目前主要用途是耐火材料的原材料，尤其是镁碳砖。自然界自然形成的石墨可分为鳞片石墨和土状石墨。

因晶体结构中存在大量离域电子，石墨可以导电，其与晶体层平行的方向电阻率为(2.5～5.0)×10-6Ω·m，与层垂直的方向电阻率为3×10-3Ω·m。[2]

hallo holderbaum...

tut mir leid dass sich alle für zu fein halten Dir zu antworten...
ich schäme mich stellvertretend für die hier herrschende dekadente Arroganz verschulten Gemüter...
nicht jeder hatte das Privileg in seiner Schulzeit auf Kosten der Öffentlichkeit (der Nicht-Priviligierten) oder durch Mutti oder Vati gefördert...
Fremdsprachen von vorne und hinten kostenlos eingeschoben zu bekommen...

Du holderbaum, ich kann Dir da jedoch einen Link zur Selbsthilfe anbieten... es ist eine Übersetzungsanwendung...

http://translate.google.de/

um die google-Übersetzung zu verstehen benötigst du stellenweise allerdings in gehöriges Maß an kreativer Interpretationsintelligenz, da ist es denn vielleicht schon wieder einfacher wenn du die englische Sprache direkt erlernst...(wenn es Dir deine Arbeitszeit oder sonstige Möglichkeiten sowie Kraft erlauben)...
ich vermute jedoch dass in ca. 15 - 25 Jahren die englische Sprache durch die russische und chinesische Sprache verdrängt wird...
aus diesem Grund werde ich mal ein paar interessante Artikel auf chinesisch hier einstellen...

Dear Energizer Enthusiast,

The commodity sector continues to be a challenge, however graphite shows promise as a breakout mineral. Traditional usage, lead by refractories in the steel industries, continues to grow at +5%, but the real exciting news is the remarkable emergence of Tesla Motors lead by Elon Musk. The Tesla electric car is rapidly establishing the viability and reliability of the electric vehicle. In 2013, it was awarded Car of the Year by Motor Trend and also received the highest rating for overall satisfaction from Consumer Reports (99 out of 100). In a recent Bloomberg News feature, a US based fund (Longboard Asset Management) dared to say that Tesla could be the next Apple. The fund manager, Cole Wilcox is calling for a $200.00/share target price based on Musk’s proven track record of execution, the wider audience that leasing options now provide which will lead to increased unit sales, and the fact that Tesla is now generating a profit...3 cents /share currently, projected to be $1.25/share next year.

Energizer believes that the trickle-down effect of the rapidly increasing profile of the Tesla car will be a catalyst for a much broader acceptance for electric vehicles in the car market. This remarkable achievement by Tesla just adds to the growing opportunities for graphite, which is used in lithium ion batteries for electric vehicles, as well as both large scale “grid” and commercial batteries for energy storage.

Please see the link below from Bloomberg News titled ”is Tesla the next Apple”. - www.Bloomberg.com. and www.cbc.ca.

World graphite supply continues to tighten as China, which has now imposed a 37% tax restriction, consolidates its mines and restricts flake graphite exports. Tesla Motors is now a profitable manufacturer and the market is responding...news such as this serves to demonstrate the need for graphite beyond traditional applications and reinforces the value proposition offered by Energizer and the large Molo graphite project.
Please visit www.energizerresources.com for more information.
I look forward to keeping you up to date on our progress.

Energizer Resources Announces Commissioning and Start-Up of Molo Graphite Pilot Plant


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Oct 17, 2013) - Energizer Resources Inc. (ENZR)(EGZ.TO)(YE5.F) ("Energizer" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has commissioned and started up the pilot plant for its flagship Molo Graphite Project in Madagascar.
Mechanical commissioning of the Molo Graphite Project pilot plant has been completed and two continuous 80-hour campaigns to optimize metallurgical conditions will be completed in the next 30 days. The pilot plant was designed, built, and is being operated by SGS Canada Inc. ("SGS") in Lakefield, Ontario.
Two hundred tonnes of composite graphite ore was transported last month from the Molo deposit via existing, serviceable infrastructure to SGS in preparation for the pilot plant. Representatives from Caracle Creek International Consulting ("CCIC") were on site to ensure the ore extracted from the Molo deposit was a true representative sample of the mill feed that will eventually be treated in the future processing plant and that it would satisfy the required standards for use in the upcoming Bankable Feasibility Study ("BFS"). CCIC was the Qualified Person ("QP") for the recently completed Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") study and will also be retained as QP for the upcoming BFS.
Multi-Tonne Samples of Graphite Concentrate Ready for Shipment to Potential Partners in November
The Company expects the pilot plant to produce between 7 to 9 tonnes of finished, flaked graphite concentrate within the next 30 days. The pilot plant will enable the Company to optimize flake size, quality and purity to meet the various specifications that have been requested by several potential off take partners. This in turn will allow them to adequately evaluate the finished Molo graphite concentrate and its ability to meet the requirements of their customers - the ultimate end users of the product. The pilot plant will also provide key operational data that will be used to generate process design criteria for the BFS.
Craig Scherba, President & COO stated, "Energizer has reached yet another significant milestone with the commissioning and operation of our pilot plant, which is a critical component of Molo's mine development plan. We are extremely pleased that by the end of November, tonnes of our finished graphite will be in the hands of several potential off take partners for evaluation."
The Company looks forward to reporting the final test results from the pilot plant over the next several weeks. As the Company previously reported, the recent metallurgical results from the optimization testing resulted in a significantly improved quality of the flotation concentrate, in terms of both grade and size distribution versus those reported in the Company's PEA Study.
Potential Ability To Produce High Volume Quantities Of Both Premium Priced Large Flake And Ultra-High Purity Finished Graphite Products
The optimization testing at SGS confirmed that nearly half (47.4%) of the Molo graphite concentrate is classified as the premium-priced large & jumbo flake size (greater than +80 mesh). In conjunction with the test results that confirmed that the Molo graphite concentrate could be easily upgraded to the ultra high purity of greater than 99.9% carbon, the Company will be well positioned to sell finished product to a wide range of end users at premium prices.
DRA Mineral Projects, Africa's leading mine builder has been retained to complete the Molo BFS and subject to project financing, will be subsequently commissioned for design, construction and operation of the future mine. It should be noted that the BFS will incorporate revised CAPEX and OPEX numbers generated from the latest enhanced and optimized metallurgical results versus the existing data that was used and reported in the Company's latest PEA study. This is expected to have a positive impact on the already robust Internal Rate of Return ("IRR") and Net Present Value ("NPV") of the Project.
