Alabama Graphite Completes Ground Geophyiscal Surveys

Alabama Graphite Corp. (TSXV:ALP,OTCQX:ABGPF) announced that it has finished ground geophysical surveys at its Bama mine graphite project and some areas at its Coosa graphite project. Both are located in Alabama.

As quoted in the press release:

The surveys were conducted by KLM Geoscience using a GEM2 device.

GEM2 is a frequency domain electromagnetic system that is a cost-effective technique for detecting near-surface (oxidized) graphite mineralization. A previous survey at the Coosa Project demonstrated that it produced the highest rate of detection with the lowest rate of false-positives of any of the techniques tested. A total of 70 additional line kilometers were run at the Coosa Project to augment the 54.7 kilometers from the survey run in July 2014. An additional 80.7 kilometers were run at the recently acquired Bama Mine Project in Chilton County. The GEM2 data is currently being processed and will be used to guide exploration/drilling work at both projects.

Ron S. Roda, CEO of Alabama Graphite, commented:

Because of the large land position controlled by Alabama Graphite, a cost-effective way of evaluating the acreage is of critical importance to focus the Company’s efforts. Our previous experience in using the GEM2 instrument as a prelude to sonic drilling at the Coosa Project showed a very high degree of correlation with graphite mineralization. We expect to use these survey results at both the Coosa and Bama Mine Projects to guide drill programs to begin in the coming weeks.
