First Graphite completes survey over Canadian graphite prospect

The versatile time-domain electromagnetic (VTEM) survey over the property covered 1452km, at 200m line spacing.

The survey was intended to determine the historically identified graphite-bearing conductors, and to identify new targets for follow-up work.

First Graphite has six mineral claims for nearly 22,853ha on the Henry property, which is located 10km southwest of Southend.

An earlier exploration program revealed the prospect has potential to host a near-surface graphite deposit comprised of scarce, large-flake, high-purity graphite, within metamorphic rocks of sedimentary origin.

First Graphite expects to receive preliminary survey results from Geotech in the next couple of weeks, which will form the base for its ground exploration program which will consist of surface sampling, geological mapping and drilling.

Interpretation of the final data will be conducted by Living Sky Geophysics of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
