Standard Graphite Acquires Historical Resource at Mousseau East Deposit
Standard Graphite Corp. (TSX-V: SGH
http://www.stockwatch.com/Quote/Detail.aspx?action=go&symbol=SGH®ion=C&lookup=symbol&snapshot=default
) is proud to announce that it has successfully signed a Definitive
Agreement for the acquisition of the Mousseau East Deposit located some
40 kilometres northeast of the town of Mont-Laurier in northwestern
Quebec. The new property is located within 50 kilometres of Timcal
Canada Inc.’s producing Lac-des-Iles Graphite Mine and currently the
larger of the two producing mines in North America. With this new
acquisition, Standard Graphite is now in a position to build a NI 43-101
resource by upgrading the historical non-compliant resource and with
strategic exploration of the deposit.
The Mousseau East Deposit was discovered in 1983 following the
emplacement of a new road in the area north of Ste-Veronique, Quebec.
Systematic exploration was carried out by Graphicor between 1989 and
1993 with property-scale electromagnetic geophysical surveys along cut
grids, and exploration and definition drilling leading to resource
estimates. The Max-Min II survey (EM), which was conducted on lines
spaced 100 metres apart, identified a main conductor trending NW-SE and
continuous for a strike length of 1.2 kilometres displaying maximum
widths of up to 50 metres. It is flanked on its western side by a
slightly narrower conductor. Drilling completed between 1989 and 1992
consisted of three successive campaigns and some 62 diamond drill holes,
totaling 4996 metres, allowing for a resource calculation to be
conducted. The possibility of initiating a mining operation was
evaluated using only a 40-metre-deep open-pit on the main resource of
the Mousseau East Deposit.
This preliminary evaluation of the mining potential was based on
resource estimates calculated internally in 1992 by Graphicor Resources
for the levels comprised between surface and -40 metres. This estimate
was further verified and validated independently by Derry, Michener,
Booth and Wahl (DMB&W), now based in Vancouver. The historical non-NI
43-101 compliant estimates quoted are presented in the table below.
Mousseau East Deposit
Historical Resource Estimates
Proven Probable Possible
Tonnes Grade (% Cg) Tonnes Grade (% Cg) Tonnes Grade (% Cg)
Graphicor 598,480 8.29 219,450 8.13 288,760 7.85
DMB&W 578,500 8.02 528,080 8.28
Standard has not completed the work necessary to verify the
classification of the mineral resource estimates. The Company is not
treating the mineral resource estimates as NI 43-101 defined resources
verified by a qualified person. The historical estimates should not be
relied upon. This property will require considerable further evaluation,
which Standard’s management and consultants intend to carry out in due
course.
The property is underlain by Grenvillian geology, namely metasediments
of the Central Metasedimentary Belt consisting of calcsilicates,
quartzites, and biotite gneisses having been subjected to amphibolite
grade metamorphism. The graphite is hosted in the calcsilicate levels
and occurs disseminated or in nodules where it is found with diopside
and other pyroxenes.
It must be emphasized that this resource only takes into consideration
the levels comprised between surface and -40 metres. The graphite
horizon is known to continue below the -40m level as well as along
strike. Some further untested targets need to be explored, especially a
widening of the conductive zone located some 600 metres to the SE of the
main Mousseau East Deposit. The company is planning due diligence work
to begin shortly on the project, and a field exploration program will be
implemented following a complete assessment of the historical
information. Due to the project having been left dormant since 1992, the
Company needs to assess the drill locations, cross sections, EM data,
and proposed mine plan from previous operators.
Chris Bogart, President and CEO comments: "We are extremely pleased,
having achieved this important milestone. This most recent acquisition
advances Standard into a different category and brings the Company one
step closer to production". Benoît Gascon, Senior Vice-President,
Business Development, further adds: "Given the amount of work done on it
by Graphicor, a then graphite producer, and my knowledge of the market
and the industry, I have a high level of confidence in its potential to
provide graphite products suitable to meet the current and future
requirements of the market."
