Canada Carbon Begins Its Largest Drilling Program to Date on the Miller Property
08 Décembre 2021 - 6:33PM
Canada Carbon Inc. (the “Company”) (TSX-V: CCB) is
pleased to announce that it has started an expansion of the
drilling program on its Miller Graphite Property (“the Miller
Project”), located in Grenville Sur la Rouge, Quebec (“GSLR”).
Drilling commenced on November 28th, 2021, and data obtained from
the drilling program will enable the Company to achieve a number of
key objectives: 1) upgrade its resource calculation; 2) delineate
the location and shape of the future graphite pits; 3) minimize any
potential impact on maple bush habitat; 4) address concerns raised
by the citizens of GSLR.
The design and commencement of the drilling program
is consistent with commitments made by the Company following the
latest Commission de la Protection du Territoire Agricole du Québec
(“CPTAQ”) decision regarding the Miller Project (see news release
dated August 30, 2021). The upgrading of the resource calculation,
refining of pit designs and evaluating any potential impact on
maple bush habitat (in conjunction with additional hydrogeological
studies and soil sampling to be conducted in early 2022), will be
used to continue the process of permitting the Miller Project as
the Company responds to the CPTAQ, the Ministère du Développement
Durable, de l'Environnement et de la Lutte contre les Changements
Climatiques (“MDDELC”) and the Ministère de l'Énergie et des
Ressources Naturelles (“MERN”).
Prior to the commencement of drilling, the Company
retained Terra-Bois, a forest management company located in
Lachute, to mark any maple trees located in the direct area of the
drill pads to ensure that no maple trees would be cut during this
program. In planning for the drilling program, a resource review
performed by SGS (the same company responsible for previous
resource calculations on the Miller Project), defined multiple
areas where incremental drilling should serve to potentially
increase the currently known resources in terms of tonnage and
graphite content in the indicated category. Those areas are located
where limited drilling was performed in the past. The drilling
program will be particularly focused on better defining and
connecting the area located between the two high grade zones of the
Project (VN3 area to the west and the VN6 area to the east).
The drill plan consists of 2,500 to 3,000 metres of
drilling, in 35 shallow holes varying in depth between 30 metres
and 175 metres. The meterage makes this program the largest drill
campaign to-date on the Miller Project. The drilling, which is
expected to be completed by the mid-December 2021, is being
conducted by Downing Drilling from Calumet in GSLR. SL Exploration
Inc, of Acton Vale will provide the geologists and technicians to
complete the program. Given that both companies have previously
worked on the Miller Project, their current involvement will ensure
continuity and efficiency. Samples from the core taken at 1.5-meter
intervals will be analyzed for graphitic carbon (Cg) content by
independent laboratories.
Chief Executive Officer, Ellerton Castor, said:
“The current drilling will potentially increase and better define
the mineralized resource. This will allow the Company to further
adapt its pit designs in order to reduce or eliminate any impact on
maple bush habitat in the Project area. The Company expects that
these efforts will reduce the Miller Project’s impact and assist in
expediting the permitting process through the CPTAQ. Furthermore,
it will set the stage for ongoing review and revision of the
Company’s overall commercialization strategy targeting the nuclear
graphite and other high value sectors and applications."
