The company owns graphite-bearing properties on the Carr and Cahaba leases, spread across 3,759.6 acres in Clay County.
Graphite Corp’s survey is designed to collect an estimated 1,358 surface samples for laboratory analysis, to test for graphitic carbon (Cg).
Survey is scheduled to be completed in approximately three weeks and the company is seeking bids from several assay labs for comparative purposes.
Graphite Corp president Brian Goss stated that plans are already in place to undertake surveys utilizing proven techniques such as geophysical imaging using induced polarization (IP) in order to test conductivity, resistivity and chargeability.
"Correlating a surface sampling program that identifies surface anomalies along with a geophysical program that identifies subsurface anomalies is one of the keys to a cost effective, efficient and comprehensive drill program," Goss said.
The work crew will also undertake low-level geologic mapping by identifying and logging rock types found at each sample site and build a geologic and geochemical data set that can be used to delineate final drill targets as well as to engineer plans for the actual drill holes.
Additionally the survey will also look to test and map a widespread portion of the property as an adjunct to the proposed drill program.
