Friday was our last day of #graphite exploration in Petauke District. Found graphite-rich gneiss exposed in washouts alongside the gravel track south of Great East Road in Chiso area. His Royal Highness Chief Mumbi of the Nsenga people said farewell & looks forward to updates.

Graphite polished pot made by Dorothy from Chimwele-Agripa. The @BritGeoSurvey @ZambiaMines @CBU_ZM team visited the source of the #graphite in gneiss occurring just south of the village. Great to learn this traditional pottery skill is being handed down to the next generation.

July in Zambia can be pretty chilly (glad I brought a jumper!). Our graphite exploration continues… the @BritGeoSurvey @ZambiaMines @CBU_ZM team met a potter from Kalindawalo Farm who took us to where they source the #graphite used to polish pots. We will seek out more potters!
