Comments on the geologic information

  • INTRUSIONS OF PEGMATITE; GRPT + DPSD + FLDP + CLCT + PYRT + TTNT; THE GRAPHITE OCCURS IN SILICATED BANDS IN WHITE GRENVILLE MARBLE STRIKING N 70 DEG E AND DIPPING 50 DEG TO 60 DEG NORTHWEST. THE ORE GRADE WAS 15-25 % C. ORE BODY IS AN ASYMMETRICAL SADDLE SHAPED MASS, 40 FEET THICK AT ITS CREST, DEVELOPED ON THE LIMBS OF A PITCHING ANTICLINE

Comments on the reserve resource information

  • BASED ON ORIGINAL TOTAL OF 120000 SHORT TONS, 20,000 OF WHICH HAD BEEN MINED

Comments on development

  • NON-GEOLOGIC CONSTRAINTS ON DEVELOPMENT OR EXPANSION IN 1-5 YRS. (). DEVELOPMENT(NO); EXPLORATION(YES); THE GRAPHITE FLAKE IS OF GOOD QUALITY AND FAIR AVERAGE SIZE. IN 1915 AVERAGE GRAPHITE CONTENT WAS REPORTED TO BE 8 PER CENT; THE LARGEST FLAKE WAS 60 MESH AND THE RICHEST PART OF THE OREBODY HAD A GRADE OF 15-20 % C IN 1984, BLACK GREGOR EXPLORATION LIMITED DID 2000 FEET OF EXPLORATION DRILLING ON THE PROPERTY
