Canada Carbon Inc. (the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has contracted George Downing Estate Drilling Ltd. of Grenville-sur-la-Rouge, Quebec to complete at least 350 meters (m) of NQ sized diamond drill holes (DDH).
The meterage will be divided in eight (8) shallow holes to test the graphitic veins previously disclosed (see press release dated July 25th 2013) at depth and along both its north and south extensions. The work is expected to begin during the week of August 5th and completed within a week’s time.
Initial structural studies indicate that the veins belong to the regional NW Grenvillian fault system and, therefore, the Company believes this graphite-bearing faulting system could extend to considerable depth.
One DDH will be used to test the longitudinal continuity of the main vein and of the mineralized structure at depth by drilling it down dip through the vein. Three (3) DDH will test the continuity of the main vein by intersecting the extension of the vein at depths of 10m, 20m and 50m. The latter DDH’s targeting 50 m depth is also expected to intersect the extension of the other smaller graphite veins that run parallel or at a 60 degrees angle to the main vein found. The four (4) remaining DDH holes will target the northwest and southeast extension of the main vein at a depth to be determined from results of the previous DDH.
R. Bruce Duncan, Interim CEO & Director of Canada Carbon Inc. stated, “We are very pleased to have retained George Downing Drilling to conduct the initial drill testing of our Miller high purity hydrothermal graphite discovery. Drilling will be underway shortly and will focus on testing several of our 17 recently identified EM anomalies. Drill testing the extension of the graphite vein system will allow an estimation of the quantity of vein material present within this particular area of the Miller Property. We also anticipate the results from our recently flown VTEM airborne survey to provide extensive insight into new prospective areas of interest on the Miller property.”
Core splitting and sampling will be done on site and sent to Actlab of Ancaster, Ontario. Analysis of samples will be for graphitic carbon (Cg). Duplicate samples will also be submitted to comply with the Company’s QAQC program. The remainder of the core will be tagged and stored on site.
