The drilling work was carried out by Major Drilling of Huntsville, Alabama. It comprised 24 sonic holes spread over 1,301ft.
It was designed to test the upper weathered portion of new target areas identified through the integration of airborne and ground geophysics with surface channel sample results.
Alabama Graphite said: "Over 80% of the holes were either completely in or contained substantial intervals of graphitic schist.
"No sulfide minerals were observed in any of the cores, which reached depths of up to 65 feet (19.8m)."
The sonic core was logged and sampled at the company’s Sylacauga plant and the samples were sent to Ontario-based ActLabs for analysis.
The company expects to receive the assay results within the next two weeks, which will help it in planning an extensive core drilling program scheduled to begin within the third quarter this year.
Alabama Graphite president and CEO Ron Roda said: "Given the substantial volumes of oxidized graphitic schist material at the Coosa Project, it makes sense for us to emphasize exploration of this material."
