Shaw River Manganese increases manganese tonnage at Otjozondu in Namibia

Shaw River Manganese (ASX: SRR) has completed the surface sampling program at its Otjozondu Project, in Namibia.
Sampling
at Areas E, S-Bend and Ongorussengo have identified significant,
additional tonnages of at surface manganese lode to underpin the
Start-Up Production Plan.
These three areas have increased the tonnages previously reported by more than 100,000 tonnes to 265,000 tonnes.
A
number of areas contain manganese mineralisation in excess of 36%
manganese with the highest being 53%, all occurring within the top 5
metres from surface.
This has greatly increased Shaw's
understanding of the mineralisation and will aid plans to mine, process
and explore for future production feed.
The manganese lode has
now been exposed along more than 1,300 metres of strike and geological
mapping put the overall thickness of the manganese lode varying between 4
and up to 40 metres, and averaging more than 13 metres.
Iron ore producer Atlas Iron (ASX: AGO) holds 53.45% of Shaw River and is a strong supporter of Shaw's manganese strategy.
