Data was also released this morning on 42 trenches completed across the property, of which 14 did not intersect graphite mineralization. Trenches were conducted in two metre increments, with certain trenches expanded up to six metres increments based on visual grades.
Highlights from the trenching program include:
- CGT002: 20.37% total graphitic content over 2.0 metres
- CGT007: 25.04% total graphitic content over 2.0 metres
- CGT015: 32.63% total graphitic content over 2.0 metres, 31.89% total graphitic content over 2.0 metres
- CGT029: 30.12% total graphitic content over 2.0 metres, 32.89% total graphitic content over 2.0 metres
