Canada Carbon Inc. (the
"
Company") (TSX-V:CCB),(FF:U7N1) is pleased to
announce it has received all the assay results from the December
2021 drilling program on its Miller Property located in Grenville
Sur la Rouge, Quebec (“
GSLR”). Drilling was
conducted from November 28, 2021 (see news release dated December
8, 2021) to December 21st, 2021.
The primary objective of the drilling program
was to better define and connect the area located between the two
pits (Western and Eastern pits) of the Project as defined in its
PEA (see news release dated March 4th, 2016). Figure
1 shows the recently completed drill holes in comparison
of the previously defined pits.
The Company completed 3,024m of drilling in 32
holes varying in depth between 30 and 180 metres. The total length
makes this program the largest drill campaign completed to-date on
the Miller Property. The drilling was conducted by Downing Drilling
based in Calumet at GSLR. SL Exploration Inc, a mineral exploration
service company based in Acton Vale provided the geologists and
technicians to complete the program. Core logging and sampling was
completed in February 2022 and assays results were fully returned
by July 2022. Generally, samples were taken every 1.5-meter
interval throughout the core and were assayed for graphitic carbon
(Cg) content by an independent laboratory while higher grade
mineralization was sampled in smaller intersections to better
identify the specific grade.

Property
The Survey
In this recent drill campaign, 2375 core samples
were bagged and shipped to the laboratory. Additionally, the
Company sent 51 blank samples, 78 standard samples and 133
quarter-split duplicate samples. Core samples were prepared by
splitting core in half and were bagged and sent to Actlabs,
Ancaster, for graphite assaying.
Results
The Miller property host widespread low grade
graphite mineralization that allowed to define two pits for the
Miller Project. Previous calculated cut-off grade of 0.50%Cg (see
news release dated December 14th, 2016) indicate that some material
from the current drill program will likely be incorporated into a
new model for the Miller mineralisation. A subset of intersections
is shown in table 1, below. Note that multiple other graphite
intersections were observed in the drilling campaign but are not
shown here and will be incorporated in an upcoming resource
calculation.

The previously updated Resource Estimate
includes an indicated resource of 2.65Mt (“million tonnes”) with an
average grade of 0.80% graphite, and an inferred resource of 7.56Mt
with an average grade of 0.77% graphite, within the boundaries of
an optimized open pit mine model, as shown in table 2, below. The
cut-off grade used for the modelling was of 0.50%Cg (see news
release dated December 14th, 2016 for additional information).
TABLE 2: GRAPHITE MINERAL
RESOURCES
- Inferred mineral resources are exclusive of the Measured and
Indicated resources.
- A fixed density of 2.83 t/m3 was used to estimate the
tonnage from block model volumes.
- Resources are constrained by the pit shell and the topography
of the overburden layer.
- Effective date December 14th, 2016.

for the Mineral Resources Estimation Of the Miller Project,
Grenville Quebec Canada Carbon Inc., Jean-Philippe Paiement, M.Sc.,
P.Geo, January 23, 2017.
“The results of the December 2021 drilling
program completed at Miller are critical to our ongoing efforts to
complete the permitting process for the Miller Project. The
drilling intersected multiple widely mineralized zones, as well as
multiple graphite pods and veins. This will help to improve the
geological model and allow SGS to better define, improve and
enhance future pit designs. The work now being undertaken will
allow Canada Carbon, Inc. to optimize our environmental management
efforts and to proceed with the permitting activities for the
Project,” said Ellerton Castor, Chief Executive Officer and a
director of the Company.
Next Steps
The results will be used by SGS’s team to update
the modelling on the Miller Property in order to update the
resource and to update the pit design. This will allow the Company
to provide to the CPTAQ some information that they requested in
their latest analysis (see news release dated September 17th,
2021). The information will also be used throughout the next
permitting stage of the Miller Project, including an upcoming
resources calculation and economic studies; as well as to support
the permitting process for the Ministry of Environment and Fight
against Climate Change (MELCC), the Ministry of Energy and Natural
Resources (MERN) and during the consultation process with the
citizens of Grenville-sur-la-Rouge (GSLR), the Argenteuil RCM
(Regional County Municipality) and other stakeholders.
