Canada Carbon Drilling and Discovery Update at the Miller Graphite
Project, Quebec
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Feb 6, 2014) -
Canada Carbon Inc. (the "Company") (TSX-VENTURE:CCB) is pleased to
provide an update on the advancement of its winter exploration
program on the Miller Mine property. Shortly after drilling began
in December, it was halted due to the discovery of VN3, a graphite
vein that is two metres thick on surface and continuous along
strike for five metres. Drilling was re-directed to the VN3
discovery, and real-time electromagnetics ("EM") were employed to
identify new drill targets in the area.
R. Bruce Duncan, CEO & Director of Canada Carbon Inc.
stated, "We continue to be pleasantly surprised by the prolific
nature of graphite mineralization at Miller. The VN3 discovery is a
wide graphite vein at surface over a large airborne EM anomaly,
making it a high priority for re-evaluating graphite potential in
this area. We continue to investigate this area using real-time
ground geophysics to rapidly identify targets for drilling in the
second phase of our winter program."
Previously, the Company announced a minimum 1000-metre drill
program of NQ-sized diamond drill holes to test several VTEM
anomalies (see news releases, December 3, November 14,
2013). Drill hole DDH13-09 confirmed that the E2 anomaly is
associated with a sulfide-rich intersection with minor disseminated
graphite. Drill hole DDH13-10 targeted the E3 anomaly and
encountered a wide intersection of minor and disseminated graphite
in marble. During movement of the drill to the E3 drill site, a
graphite-rich vein (VN3) was exposed over two metres in width and
along strike for five metres before pinching out. The VN3 discovery
was subjected to drilling with six shallow drill holes targeting
the vein at depth and along its projected extension on strike and
at depth. The winter campaign encountered bad weather, which slowed
down the overall drilling production. A total of 547 metres in nine
holes was completed in this phase of the program. Maps showing the
DDH location can be found at:

NOTES: Only core samples with visible graphite content
were assayed. *Data are insufficient at this time to estimate true
thicknesses. |
The most significant results are from the new vein discovery VN3
where drilling in core hole DDH13-15 encountered 48.60% C graphite
(Cg) over 1.8 metres, including 63.20% Cg over 0.5 metres. This
intersection of graphite occurs 4.6 metres (vertically) beneath the
VN3 showing. DDH13-14 intersected a graphite vein grading 50.50%
over 0.30 metres in 3.50 interval metre interval grading 6.80% Cg
between the surface and the DDH13-15 graphite mineralization. The
VN3 showing remains open at depth.
The other hole of interest is hole DDH13-11, which targeted a
wollastonite-graphite pod located 22.5 metres southeast of the VN2
showing in the trench area. The hole was successful in extending
the mineralization hosting the pod to a depth of 8.19 metres
(vertically) beneath the surface showing. Grades similar to other
graphite pods (see news release dated November 25, 2013),
specifically 8.10% Cg over 2.3 metres including 11.00% Cg over 0.90
metres. The pod southeast of the VN2 showing is suspected to be
within the same mineralized corridor that extends to at least 39.3
metres (vertically) beneath the VN2 showing. The mineralized
corridor also remains open at depth.
Many lower grade intersections were also sampled during
drilling. Some of the lower grade mineralization includes graphitic
marble grading 2.00% over 10.50 metres including 4.50 metres at
3.50% Cg and 1.00% over 13.00 metres including 4.30 metres at 1.6%
Cg. Isolated values range between traces amount of graphite and
4.00% Cg. No significant gold or base metal assays were obtained.
The Company will use the geochemistry information to determine
alterations patterns and to better interpret the encountered rock
units.
The new vein (VN3) discovery triggered the Company to halt the
drill campaign and perform a ground electromagnetic survey over the
large VTEM anomaly surrounding target E3 to find the best targets
before drilling resumes. Dubé & Desaulniers Geoscience Ltd.
(Ottawa) was engaged to perform a ground electromagnetic survey
using the PhiSpy system. This portable time-domain EM system
enables the detection of conductive rocks at optimum depths of 10
to 20 metres, with the results seen in real time on a display
screen. This allows for the strongest anomalies to be immediately
identified for further testing.
The PhiSpy survey was performed over a 0.11 square kilometre
area centered on VN3 with line spacing between 10-20 metres for a
total of 12.7 line kilometres. The survey identified 14 anomalies
ranging between 5 and 54 metres in maximum dimension. The widest
anomaly was discovered in the vicinity of the E3 target identified
previously by Geotech, and the Company is currently working with
Geotech to re-interpret their results to include the PhiSpy data.
Additional data from the core and surface showings will also be
incorporated to identify drill targets in this area.
Winter field work including trenching, beep-mat and TDEM
surveys, and prospecting is currently underway on the new PhiSpy
anomalies in the VN3 area. Drilling will resume once
reinterpretation of all results are complete. Existing targets
include the new VN3 showing, the trench area where the VN2 surface
mineralization is established to a depth of 39.3 metres, and the E1
anomaly, located 800 metres north of the Miller mine pit.
Geophysical maps indicate that E1 lies between two magnetic
anomalies that may correspond to a lithologic contact of two
geological units having a similar geological context to that of the
known Miller mineralization (see news release, November 14,
2013).
In related news, the bulk sampling permit request previously
filed for Miller (see news release, October 28, 2013) has
been modified to include material from the VN3 showing. Receipt of
the permit request has been acknowledged by the Ministry of Natural
Resources. The Company has also engaged Inlandsis Consultants to
produce a NI 43-101 compliant Technical Report for the Miller Mine
Property that is expected to be completed in the following
weeks.
Half splits of the drill core were delivered to Actlabs
(Ancaster, ON) for gold, base metal and graphite assays. The
results are reported using protocol 4F-C graphitic in which the
samples underwent drying, crushing with up to 90% passing through a
#10 square-mesh screen, riffle splitting (250 gram) and pulverizing
to 95% passing a 105 micron square-mesh screen. Graphitic carbon
(Cg) was determined by multistage furnace treatment and infrared
absorption, with a 0.05% detection limit. Quality control and
assurance performed by Actlabs on in-house standards and blanks
produced acceptable results.
