加拿大SAMA矿业公司2012年进入到几内亚矿业市场，2013年9月2日获得几内亚政府批准，获得LOLA石墨矿探矿证。
LOLA石墨矿，位于几内亚森林地区, N’Zérékoré大区LOLA省（La région de N’Zérékoré, la Préfecture de LOLA）境内，距离首都科纳克里约1000公里。
探矿证划定的矿区面积为380平方公里，有效期3年。2016年8月9日，几内亚地矿部批准探矿证延期2年，有效期至2018年8月。
按照几内亚《矿业法》的相关规定，初始探矿证面积的一半退还给几内亚政府，因此，延期后的探矿证面积由最初的380平方公里减少到目前的187平方公里。
加拿大SAMA矿业公司总部位于加拿大魁北克省蒙特利尔市郊区。

加拿大SAMA矿业公司简介
Sama Resources Inc. (“Sama” or the “Company”) – (TSX.V: SME | US:LNZCF ) is a growth-oriented resource company focused on exploring the Samapleu Nickel (“Ni”) – Copper (“Cu”) project in Ivory Coast, West Africa. The Company is managed by experienced industry professionals with a strong track record of discovery. Sama, is committed to develop and exploit the Samapleu Ni-Cu and Platinum Group of Elements (“PGE”) Resources.
The Samapleu mineralization is typical of a layered Pipe like Intrusion or conduit‐hosted nickel deposits These rare type of intrusions host the world’s largest nickel‐copper deposits such as: Jinchuan (515 million tonnes (“Mt”) at 1.06% nickel), Voisey Bay (137Mt at 1.68% nickel), Kabanga (52Mt at 2.65% nickel), Eagle (4.5Mt at 3.33% nickel), Eagle Nest (20Mt at 1.68% nickel), Kalatongke (24Mt at 0.68% nickel), and N’komati (2.8Mt at 2.08% nickel).
The Yacouba Layered Complex’s mafic and ultramafic, hosting the Samapleu mineralisation, has intruded the older gneissic assemblage of the West Africa’s craton. It is interesting to note that the age for the Yacouba Layered Complex is almost the same at 2.1Ga, as the large and mineral rich South-African Bushveld complex (host of the Ivanhoe’s large Flatreef palladium-Nickel deposit and numerous other chromite+ Platinoid Group Elements deposits as well as the nearby N’Komati nickel-copper-palladium deposit).
Nickel and copper mineralization (pentlandite, chalcopyrite, combined with pyrrhotite correspond to sulphide disseminations ranging from trace to 40% and semi‑massive to massive (40% to 100% sulphides) sulphide rich lenses often spatially associated with highly breccia texture in pyroxenites mostly.
Sama’s projects are located approximately 600 km northwest of Abidjan in Côte d’Ivoire and straddle both sides of the Ivorian and Guinean borders in West Africa. Sama’s projects are located adjacent to the large world-class nickel-cobalt laterite deposits of Sipilou and Foungouesso forming a 125 km long new base metal Camp in West Africa.

加拿大SAMA矿业公司在几内亚LOLA石墨矿项目简介
Lola Graphite Project – Republic of Guinea, West Africa
Lola Graphite property (Permit de Recherche, PR 4543)
The Lola Graphite Project is 100% owned by Sama Resources Guinea SARL and is located within the department of Lola in eastern Guinea, 1,000 km from Conakry, the capital of the Republic of Guinea. The occurrence is within 50 km from the border with Guinea and located 3.5km west of the town of Lola (Figure 1). The exploration licenses, named Permit de Recherche 4543, form an almost square area of 13.6km wide by 13.82km high and is centred on UTM WGS 84 zone 29N latitude 7° 48’ 00’’ (UTM 863,000 N) and longitude 8° 32’ 00’ (UTM 551,000E), (Arrêté No A2013/4543/MMG/SGG and Decree No 442 MG/CAB/CPDM/2016). The area includes the communities of Lola and several smaller villages. Within the license area, and in the immediate vicinity of the Lola Graphite occurrence, the terrain is gently undulating providing good access to any part of the property.
Pursuant to Sama’s request in 2012, the Republic of Guinea awarded Sama Resources Guinea SARL, through the Arrété No A2013/4543/MMG/SGG dated September 2, 2013, the Lola Graphite Exploration Permit for a first period of three years’ renewable for two additional periods of 2 years each. The Company submitted the first renewing documentation with the Department on Mine on June 20, 2016 and the Exploration Permit was renewed for the first period of two years on August 29, 2016, Decree No 442 MMG/CAB/CPDM/2016 and per legislation, the surface area was reduced by 51% from 380km2 to 187km2
Exploration Update
The Lola Graphite deposit is present at surface over 8.7 kilometers with an average width of 300, and up to 1,000 meters wide (Figure 2). The first 20 meters or so of the deposit are well weathered (lateralized), freeing graphite flakes from the silicate gangue and allowing for an easy grinding with optimal recovery of all large and jumbo flakes. The graphite mineralization continues at depth within the non-weathered sheared gneiss.
The graphite mineralization is well exposed at surface on its entire strike length with sample grades ranging from trace to up to 20% of large flakes and often seen in higher concentration agglomerates.
A total of 36 core drill holes for 800m were drilled at the Lola Graphite deposit. Holes were scattered unevenly over a strike length of 5.2km of the entire 8.7km long deposit. Drilling was performed using a Jacro 175 core drill rig owned by Sama and capable to reach a depth of between 20m and 40m from surface (Figure 3).
Three metallurgical tests were performed at the Activation Laboratory (Actlab), Ontario, Canada in 2014, 2015 and 2016. In 2014, the first test was performed on the two of Lola’s prominent mineralized facies, the oxide material and the underlying non-oxide material (below 20 meters) while tests performed in 2015 and 2016 exclusively focused on the surface oxide material (weathered profile).
The first 20m or so (weathered material) of the deposit is well lateralized freeing graphite flakes from the silicate gangue and allowing for easy mining and grinding with an optimal recovery of large and jumbo flakes. Graphite mineralisation continues at depth within the non-weathered paragneiss.
The oxide material returned global recoveries of 94-96% of graphite flakes producing a graphite concentrate with >90% of large, jumbo and super-jumbo size flakes (Table 1, Figure 4). Super-jumbo flake size accounts for 52% of the concentrate with purities of XXX% graphitic carbon (‘’Cg’’).
Table 1: Actlab metallurgical tests results. Subdivision of the jumbo flakes into jumbo and super-jumbo sizes was only performed in 2015 and 2016.

In 2013, the Company supported M. Sékou Oumar Sow, a Guinean geological student at the University of Franche Conté, France, with his under graduate study. The study aimed at the mineralogical and petrological characterisations of the mineralisation as well as the host rock. The study was under the supervision of Professor Christian Picard.
The graphitic mineralization is hosted within a quartzo-feldspath-biotite-sillimanite rich paragneiss with zircon, monazite and rutile as accessory minerals. Graphite mineralization is present as natural flakes of 0.25 to 1 mm in size. Graphite flakes appears to be cogenetic with biotite and sillimanite. Pyrite and minor chacopyrite are present in the non-oxide paragneiss and totally absent in the oxide material.
Coris Group réalise un investissement initial de 3 millions $ dans le capital de la junior Minière canadienne Sama Resources Guinea
(Agence Ecofin) - Coris Capital a réalisé un investissement initial de 3 millions $ dans le capital de Sama Resources Guinea, une junior minière cotée sur le marché financier canadien, possédant des actifs dans le secteur du graphite en Guinée Conakry.
En échange de cet investissement, Coris Capital recevra 7,5 millions d'actions, pour un montant unitaire de 0,4$. En même temps que ces actions, la firme d'investissement recevra aussi une option non-transférable d'acquisition de 3,75 millions d'actions supplémentaires dans les 24 mois suivant, au prix défini de 0,5 $. En plus de cela, Coris Capital aura le droit de participer à des augmentations de capital pour maintenir le poids de son actionnariat.
Il aura en outre le droit de désigner au moins deux personnes au conseil d'administration de la junior minière. L'opération qui a pris la forme de placement privé, devra encore attendre 4 mois pour devenir effective. L'argent mobilisé dans ce cadre permettra de financer des opérations d'exploration, mais aussi de soutenir des besoins ponctuels en fonds de roulement.
Le projet n’est pas encore rentable car il est encore dans sa phase d’exploration. Mais l’apport financier de Coris Capital pourrait être décisif, tout au moins pour les 12 prochains mois. Les promoteurs de la junior minière sont aussi très optimistes quant aux perspectives qu’offre le marché du graphite, sur le moyen terme, grâce notamment à l’évolution de la technologie qui utilise ce minerai, notamment en Inde.
Coris Capital est une entité d'investissement incorporée à l'Île Maurice, qui fait partie de Coris Group, fondé par le burkinabè Idrissa Nassa.
