Standard Graphite Completes Validation Drill Program on the Historic Mousseau East Deposit
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/26/12 -- Standard Graphite Corp. (TSX VENTURE: SGH) (the "Company") is pleased to report the completion of the confirmation drilling phase on its historic Mousseau East Graphite Deposit. Drilling is now progressing with the expansion and exploration phases of the Fall 2012 diamond-drilling program.
This program was the first drill program to be carried out on the Mousseau East Graphite Property since the early 1990s following the original discovery and the drilling of a historical resource. The aim of Phase I was to replicate a number of the historical holes to validate the previous dataset and proceed with an up-to-date resource calculation compliant with the current NI 43-101 norms.
During Phase I, some 12 historical holes were duplicated representing approximately 20% of the original diamond-drill holes that served to calculate the historical resource. The confirmation drilling was planned in consultation with P&E Mining Consultants who will be responsible for the upcoming NI-43-101 Resource Estimate. Preliminary visual observations indicate a strong correlation between the historic drilling and the recently completed confirmation drilling. Samples are currently being prepared and will be sent to Act Labs of Ancaster, Ontario for graphitic carbon assaying. Drilling, logging and sampling are carried out under the supervision of MRB & Associates of Val-d'Or, Quebec who is also responsible for the sampling protocol.
Chris Bogart, President and CEO, states: "The confirmation drilling remains a fundamental step towards rebuilding the resource at Mousseau East and in this, the ability to use the historical dataset provides a huge advantage allowing us to save both time and capital."
