Sep 10, 2013 (A Wilson) - Graphite flakes of medium to large size occur in the marble with richer concentrations in shear zones or near the adjacent granite intrusions. The East and Central Zones were 91 m and 137 m in length and averaged 3.4 m @ 7.6% C and 3.9 m @8.4% C, The ore zone is comprised of several individual zones up to 610 m in length. The true width of the zone, including country rock separating graphite units is at least 1200 m. the zones of graphite-enriched marble are commonly 7.6 to 15.2 m wide and usually have a vertical or near vertical dip. The western portion of the property contains numerous shorte graphite-rich zone averaging 30.5 m in length. These zones are at various attitudes, interlayered with a series of tectonic slivers of granitic gneiss that are common in the western part of the property.
