South Star releases positive graphite PFS

Vancouver-headquartered South Star Mining has announced the results of a prefeasibility study (PFS) for its Santa Cruz graphite project, in Bahia, Brazil, which the company plans to develop in a two-phase approach.

Phase 1 will be a pilot plant operation with the capacity to produce 5 000 t/y of concentrate, which will provide South Star with short-term cash flow and allow it to qualify bulk samples in the market place.
