It is already proved by Metals Australia Limited (ASX:MLS) that its Quebec project is a high-grade zone of natural flake graphite. The news was much appreciated by the investors which took the share price of the company up by almost 17% which is equivalent to 0.35 cents this morning.
Within a span of 12 months, the share price was in the range from 0.3 cents to 1.1 cents.
A sampling program was held at the Lac Rainy project in Quebec, Canada. During this program, the results obtained, returned an average grade of 15.6% total carbon-within-graphite (Cg) within 20.4 meters. It returned an average grade of 20% Cg which include 4.5 meters of the sampling program.
It is assumed that the graphite having grades in between 10% to 15% is an average grade. Above that range, the grade of the graphite is considered very good.
As per the Metals Australia, there is an extension in the length of the mineralization which is more than 3km. Within this range of mineralization, there is a zone which returns multiple high-grade intervals which is up to 29.4% Cg which is around 1.8 km in length.
Gino DâAnna who is the director of Metals Australia stated that the width of mineralization is above the expectation. The surface is a source of high-grade mineralization which is very encouraging.
Metals Australia defines the deposit in the range of 15% to 20% in sufficient capacity which it considers similar to the Lac Knife project which is owned by Focus Graphite (TMX: FMS).
The director Mr. DâAnna considers these exceptional channel sampling result as a step ahead towards the goals of the company.
Still, more result is expected from the program. The first step towards defining a resource for the project is expected to come in the late November. During the Canadian winter, the drilling program will start. The results of the drilling will undergo analysis and interpretation of the current test results.
