Designed to infill drill at around 50m spaced centers, the drill program is aimed at converting a portion of the National Instrument 43-101 compliant inferred resource to indicated and/or measured categories.

The company said that the drilling is designed to demonstrate the continuity of the mineralization along strike and down dip.

"Integration of this data will add significant value as we work towards a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) over the upcoming months," it added.

The program will also accumulate mini-bulk samples from surface and existing drill core, which will help to develop and implement bench scale metallurgical testing.

Graphite One Resources president and director Anthony Huston said: "The Graphite Creek Property hosts the largest known, high grade, large flake Graphite Deposit in the United States and North America, and we look forward to continuing to develop marketable graphite products to meet the global graphite demand, which is growing rapidly."
