Alabama Graphite Drilling at Coosa Graphite Project Intercepting Planned Target

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 10:07 AM on Thursday, October 25th, 2012

Oct 25, 2012 — October 25, 2012 – Birmingham, Alabama, USA – Alabama Graphite Corp. (the “Company”) (cnsx:ALP) (frankfurt:1AG WKN A1J35M) has two diamond drill rigs on the Coosa Graphite Project in Alabama, USA operated by Major Drilling working on the phase one drill program. Eight core holes have been completed to date and additional holes are currently being bored. The two rigs on the property will work towards each other as twelve stratigraphic definition holes are expected be complete by late October 2012.

Preliminary core logging has revealed that graphitic schists are the dominant rock type encountered in each of the first five stratigraphic holes. Cross-sections based on the drill results indicate that the graphitic schist unit has a true thickness in excess of 1600 feet (515m). Sample preparation is underway with the first holes already at SGS laboratories for analysis. Initial assay results are expected before the end of the month.

Danny Spine CEO of Alabama Graphite Corp. commented: “We are very excited about the drilling which appears to have intercepted consistent graphite mineralization as expected. The core lengths look very encouraging as we now await assay results. The drill program remains ahead of schedule and under budget so we are pleased with the progress to date”

An access road has been prepared for entry into the resource development grid. This grid will outline phase two of the drill program and will be comprised of eighty reverse circulation and core holes to provide definition of the resource and provide material for metallurgical testing.

The Company expects initial fieldwork will be completed in 2012 and will use these results toward creating a preliminary resource estimate. The Company’s goal is to become the first operating graphite mine in the United States in sixty years.

As a result of European investor interest the Company, its common shares are now quoted on the Frankfurt stock exchange for trading under the symbol 1AG.F.

The drill program and QA/QC program is under the supervision of Dr. Douglas Oliver, PhD, VP Exploration of the Company. Dana Durgin, a Qualified Person as defined in National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed the contents of this news release.

Danny Gravelle of Goal Capital has joined the Company as Investor Relations.

Diamond Frank Inc. Intersects Graphite on the Commandant Project

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 10:22 AM on Wednesday, October 10th, 2012

LAVAL, QUEBEC–( Oct. 10, 2012) – Diamond Frank Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:DOD) announces the results of its 2012 drilling campaign on the Commandant Project of which one drillhole has intersected two (2) graphitic bands.

The first drillhole (COM-12-01) initially planned for a depth of 500 meters, was extended to a depth of 648 meters. This drillhole has mainly intersected diorite units and highly to very highly sheared and deformed sediments (greywacke) and several tonalitic intrusions with centimetric to metric pegmatite dykes. Some pyroxenitic and grabbroic intrusions were also intersected. Some centimetric pyritic zones, with traces to 1% of chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite were intersected and well explain the targeted conductor.

The table below shows the best values obtained.

The second drillhole, (COM-12-02), planned for a depth of 800 meters, was extended to a depth of 946 meters. This drillhole has intersected lithological units similar to those of (COM-12-01). This drillhole targeted a geophysical anomaly (very strong conductor) which is explained by the presence of two (2) graphitic breccia zones within a strongly folded and deformed fine grained sedimentary sequence (greywacke). These graphitic zones show respectively relative thicknesses of 0.8 m and 0.3 m. Graphite is semi-massive to massive with medium grain size. Some centimetric sulphide-rich zones (pyrrhotite, pyrite and chalcopyrite) within a pyroxenitic unit were intersected and revealed some silver, chromium, copper, nickel and zinc anomalous values.

Zenyatta Ventures Achieves High Grade Purity of 97.2% C (Graphite) on First Test; On-Going Work Targets Greater Than 99.0% Purity

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:10 AM on Thursday, October 4th, 2012

THUNDER BAY, ONTARIO–(Oct. 3, 2012) – Zenyatta Ventures Ltd. (“Zenyatta” or “Company”) (TSX VENTURE:ZEN) is pleased to announce that a first pass beneficiation test at SGS Canada Inc. (“Lakefield”) demonstrated a leaching process capable of producing a 97.2% C (total) graphite product from a rough concentrate. Work is on-going to target purity levels of >99.0% C with results from a second series of tests expected soon.

Aubrey Eveleigh, President and CEO, stated “It is very significant and remarkable to start with such a high purity level of greater than 97% graphite on the first test. Management is excited with the latest successful metallurgical developments and considers higher purity graphite achievable with fine-tuning of the process.”

In conjunction with Don Hains of Zenyatta, Lakefield metallurgical test work of the Albany graphite material continues to develop a simple concentration and leaching process to produce an ultra-high purity (>99.0% C) graphite product. Again, mineralogical work shows the graphite material to be very simple and contains insignificant amounts of undesirable material. This confirms an earlier mineralogical report prepared by Dr. Andrew Conly, Ph.D. of Lakehead University.

Aubrey Eveleigh also stated “Presently, Zenyatta’s Albany is the only new vein type graphite deposit being developed in the world. It is the only one of its kind outside of the mined vein type graphite deposits of Sri Lanka.”

Sri Lankan vein type graphite grades are available in purities ranging from 80-99% carbon with the majority above 90%. The Bogala Mine, a Sri Lankan graphite deposit, has been in production since 1847. It is a narrow (20cm), high grade underground mine. Sri Lankan graphite still enjoys great demand due to its unusually high purity and unique physical properties. Graphite veins are quite rare and in many industrial applications offer superior performance due to higher thermal and electrical conductivity.

The Albany (vein-type) graphite deposit is located 30km north of the Trans Canada Highway, power line and natural gas pipeline. A rail line is located 70km away and an all-weather road approximately 4-5km from the graphite deposit. The Albany deposit is near surface, underneath glacial till overburden.

The outlook for the global graphite market is very promising with demand growing rapidly from new applications in clean technology. China produces over 70% of global supply and, like other commodities, now has less available for export as domestic demand grows. As global demand outstrips supply, graphite prices have increased substantially, more than doubling over the past three years.

Graphite is a natural form of carbon with the chemical formula C, which it shares with diamond and coal. It is now considered one of the more strategic elements by many leading industrial nations, particularly for its growing importance in high technology manufacturing and in the emerging “green” industries, such as electric vehicle components. The application for graphitic material is constantly evolving due to its unique chemical, electrical and thermal properties. It maintains its stability and strength under temperatures in excess of 3,500°C and is very resistant to chemical corrosion. It is also one of the lightest of all reinforcing elements and has high natural lubricating abilities. Some of these key physical and chemical properties make it critical to modern industry.

Mr. Aubrey Eveleigh, P.Geo., President and CEO, is the “Qualified Person” under NI 43-101 and has reviewed the technical information contained in this news release. Analyses were carried out by SGS Canada Inc. lab using a total carbon (LECO) method. To find out more on Zenyatta Ventures Ltd., please visit website www.zenyatta.ca.

Bracemac-Mcleod Continues on Target, Exploration Drilling Intersects 2.83% Copper, 13.09 g/t Silver and 0.13 g/t Gold Over 19.35 Metres

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 3:40 PM on Tuesday, October 2nd, 2012

The company recently reported on exploration results for drilling conducted in the vicinity of the Bracemac-McLeod Deposit and within the 4,737 square kilometre Matagami Project as reported to the Company by partner and project operator Xstrata Canada Corporation-Xstrata Zinc Canada Division.

Renewed exploration diamond drilling up-dip from the McLeod Zone has discovered new copper mineralization within a laterally extensive chlorite alteration zone, including 2.83% copper over 19.35 metres intersected in hole MCL-12-16, drilled 45 metres up-dip from previous drilling on the McLeod Zone. Two drills are currently active on the project.

The Donner – Xstrata team discovered the proven and probable mining reserves of 3.73 million tonnes grading 9.60% zinc, 1.26% copper, 28.25g/t silver and 0.43g/t gold that support an initial 4 year mine plan. In close proximity to these reserves are inferred resources of 2.63 million tonnes grading 8.78% zinc, 1.31% copper, 38.83g/t silver and 1.06g/t gold. Mineralization is open in many parts of the deposit and exploration potential is considered excellent. Relative interests in the deposit are Donner 35% and Xstrata 65%.

Donner Metals Goes Beyond the Press Release to discuss recent Results.

Strike Graphite Intersects Significant Flake Graphite During 2012 Drill Campaign

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:35 AM on Tuesday, October 2nd, 2012

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Oct. 2, 2012) – Strike Graphite Corp. (TSX VENTURE:SRK) (the “Company”) is pleased to report drill results for the spring 2012 exploration program at the Simon Lake Graphite Property, located in north-central Saskatchewan.

Blair Way, CEO remarks, “These initial drill hole results are very exciting and continue to verify our interpretation of continuity for the 25 k strike length of the EM conductor. The high graphitic carbon content and potential scale of the Simon Lake graphite occurrences warrant follow up metallurgical test work to confirm flake size distribution and more drilling along the strike length of the conductor.”

During late spring, the company completed four diamond drill holes within the historic Simon Lake trend (see attached location map or click the following link: http://www.strikegraphite.com/Simon-Lake-Geophysics-DDH-Sept-25.pdf). Three conductive zones were targeted, and tested small portions of the approximately 25 kilometre conductive trend. Results of the exploration program confirm substantial widths to the graphitic horizon; which are thought to form a continuous mineralized horizon that continues to surface.

Highlights:

  • Hole SL-12-002: 93.8m of 2.11% Cg, including 32.8m of 3.30% Cg
  • Hole SL-12-003: 25.3m of 3.00% Cg, including 11.2m of 5.03% Cg
  • Hole SL-12-004: 25.1m of 3.21% Cg, including 15.2m of 4.46% Cg

Discussion:

The results of the 2012 drill campaign confirmed the presence of significant flake graphite at the Simon Lake Property. During the 4th quarter of 2012, this will be confirmed by mineralogical and metallurgical testwork of representative drill-core material to quantify the flake size distribution of graphite.

The graphitic horizon was tested at a depth where measurements of continuity and thicknesses could be interpreted. The graphitic horizons are interpreted to continue to near surface by geophysical modeling, structural measurements and historic mapping of outcrops.

The graphitic horizon at the northern end of the property, intersected by holes SL-12-001 and SL-12-002, is interpreted to dip at an angle of approximately 40 to 50 degrees, and is interpreted to continue close to surface.

The graphitic horizon within the southern parts of the project area, appears folded, and where tested, displays a consistent thickness and grade; and is near flat-lying with an apparent dip of approximately 9-degrees. At this location, the graphitic horizon was intersected at a depth of approximately 110 metres from the surface, and is interpreted to continue close to surface to the north.

The zinc-lead mineralization found in hole SL-12-001 is an example of the 1970’s and 1980’s targeted exploration for Sedex-style deposits. The high-grade zinc mineralization, although narrow, is significantly higher than many of the showings in the Wollaston Domain, and is therefore thought to be significant.

Results:

Results of graphitic intervals have been compiled into the following table:

Drill hole SL-12-001 verified the intervals of graphite within historic hole E42-5, which encountered a graphitic biotite gneiss, with core descriptions of “disseminated graphite” or “coarse graphite flakes”, with narrower intervals described as “graphite flakes abundant” and “heavy graphite in 6 to 12 inch bands”. Hole SL-12-001 was drilled with an azimuth of 141° and a dip of -45°. The hole was drilled to a depth of 241m to fully test the geology of the conductor within this area. Near the end of the hole, two sphalerite-bearing horizons were encountered, one from 204.6m to 206.3m (1.7m interval) encountered an average of 5.49% zinc and 0.66% lead. A second horizon from 224.7m to 226.0m (1.2m interval) averaged 8.66% zinc and 0.22% lead. The aforementioned intersections encountered only trace to 5g/t levels of silver and below detection limits for gold.

Drill hole SL-12-002, collared approximately 5.5 kilometres northeast of SL-12-001, verified the historic intervals of graphite within historic drill hole 2-72, which encountered a graphitic biotite gneiss with descriptions of “abundant graphite” over a 68 m interval. Hole SL-12-002 was drilled with an azimuth of 153° and a dip of -45°.

Drill holes SL-12-003 and SL-12-004 were collared approximately 8 kilometres southwest of SL-12-001, and targeted the strong EM anomaly discovered in the winter 2012 airborne survey. The holes, located only 382 metres apart, were drilled with an azimuth of 345° and a dip of -70°. The rational of hole SL-12-004 was to test the graphitic horizon at a potentially shallower depth, and succeeded in locating the horizon approximately 50 metres closer to surface.

Future Plans:

Drill-core from the 2012 program will be sent for preliminary metallurgical testing which will determine the flake size distribution and recoveries.

The Satterly Lake gold property is drill ready and it is anticipated that this drilling will take place 4th quarter 2012. Satterly lake is a two block property package comprising a total of 1,600 hectares located in close proximity to the south and west of Gold Canyon Resources’ Springpole Gold Project where consistently good exploration results have been demonstrated.

Future exploration will test the Simon Lake graphite trend along strike, as only a small portion of the 25 kilometer long conductive trend has been tested by drilling.. The metallurgical testing will act as an additional guide to target those graphitic zones, with favorable flake-size distribution.

The Simon Lake Graphite Project covers 11,800 hectares, and is located approximately 300 km northeast of La Ronge, Saskatchewan and is intersected by Highway 905. The property consists of several showings of flake graphite mineralization in historic drill holes, which were discovered during the exploration of base metals during the 1960’s and 1970’s.
