Tawsho Mining Inc. Completes Drilling on Cabot Graphite Project
CONCORD, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Sep 11, 2013) - Tawsho Mining Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TAW) ("Tawsho" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce the preliminary results of its recently completed drill program on the Cabot Graphite Project located 10 km north of Baie Verte, Newfoundland.
A total of four holes were drilled approximately 200 m apart along a strike length of 600 m to explore for graphite associated with a VTEM airborne electromagnetic response. All four holes intersected a thick sequence of graphitic schist containing varying amounts of graphite. The drill results for graphitic schist intervals and the intervals sampled for assaying are summarized below:
- CG-13-01: from 61 to 199 m for a total sampled interval of 90 m;
- CG-13-02: from 86 to 234 m for a total sampled interval of 54 m;
- CG-13-03: from 43 to 209 m for a total sampled interval of 89 m;
- CG-13-04: from 10 to 211 m for a total sampled interval of 150 m.
The core was transported by the drill contractor Zenith Drilling to a secure core facility in Baie Verte where all graphite-bearing intervals were split and sampled at approximately 1.0 m intervals under the supervision of geologist Edward Procyshyn (P.Geo., Qualified Person). Table One summarizes the position, orientation and mineralized intervals from the drill program. The mineralized zones are not continuously mineralized and where graphite was not apparent the interval was not sampled.
Commenting on the results Tawsho President and CEO Steve Balch stated "we have intersected thick intervals of graphitic schist in all four holes confirming that the geophysical response we are targeting is due to conductive graphite and that the graphite has substantial strike length and thickness. The samples are being assayed and will help establish whether the mineralization is of sufficient grade to warrant further exploration".
