Alabama Graphite Corp. Releases First Results from Sonic Drilling Program
20.02.2013 | The Newswire
Sylacauga, February 20, 2013 - Alabama Graphite Corp. (the "Company") (CNSX:ALP) (Frankfurt: 1AG.F, WKN A1J35M, ISIN: CA0102931080) is pleased to report initial assay results from the 2012 sonic drill program at the Coosa Graphite Project, Alabama.Initial drilling at the Coosa Project consisted exclusively of diamond core drilling. To improve recoveries through the upper weathered and unconsolidated oxidized zone, two sonic drills were mobilized to the project site in mid-November by Major Drilling. In addition to pre-collaring the holes through the oxidized zone, the Company also re-drilled the upper portions of previous holes. A total of 1,618.5 feet (493.3 meters) were drilled in 45 sonic holes. Processing of these holes began in January, 2013 following discussions with Scott E. Wilson Consulting (now called Metal Mining Consultants, Inc.) regarding QA/QC protocols. Samples were logged and sampled at the Company's facility in Sylacauga and shipped to ALS Minerals in Elko, NV, for analysis. The samples were analyzed for graphitic carbon (Cg) by the LECO method.
" A unique attribute to the Alabama Graphite Schist is its past production from the oxidized zones at surface," comments CEO Dan Spine. " We employed the sonic rigs in November to optimize our recoveries in this zone. These are the first assays received from this program. These are excellent results. We can identify graphite-bearing rock from surface in all these holes and show continuity with the graphitic layer already processed in the rock beneath."
Below is a table summarizing the results from the initial sonic holes:
