Jan 04, 2012 (A Wilson) - Baxter Lake's first set of 5 samples Identified as No. 9001 to 9005 totalled 4.6 kg and the individual head samples assayed from 2.6 to 3.8 % of graphitic carbon. The test feed composite was prepared by combining the 5 samples in the weight ratio received. The test feed was assayed to contain 3.33% graphitic carbon. Graphite contents up to 4% are seen locally with large areas averaging 2.5%to 3.5% graphitic carbon. The mineralization is exposed in two belts north and south of the lake for a total strike length of 550 meters. The average true width is about 30 meters. The unit dips 35 to 40 degrees to the east over most of its length, however, complications caused by minor folds close to the baseline between lines 15 and 25, give reversals of dip in this area. Channel sampling by F. Atkinson returned assays ranging from 0.40% graphite over 2 m to 2.31% graphite over 14 m. Composite samples collected by Atkinson in 1993 returned values up to 3.08% graphite over 1 m. A 9 m section of drill core from hole #2 assayed >1.25% graphite.
