Alabama Graphite Provides Metallurgical Results from Bama Mine Project

Alabama Graphite Corp. (TSXV:ALP,OTCQX:ABGPF) announced metallurgical results from three new composite samples from the upper 50 feet of the pit walls at the past-producing, Alabama-based Bama mine project.

As quoted in the press release:

Using only simple floatation (without optimization, chemical or thermal treatment) sample V1 showed a head grade of 4.06% C(t) with 49.4% in the large and jumbo flake +80 mesh size fraction (of which 14.5% is jumbo, +48 mesh), sample V2 had a head grade of 3.48% with 46.10% +80 mesh (of which 15.4% is +48 mesh) and V3 had a head grade of 3.58% C(t) and 30.2% in the +80 mesh category (of which 7.6% is +48 mesh).  The total range of purities started from a low of 93.8% C(t) to a high of 97.9% C(t) across all three samples.  Of note, the purities remained high even for the smaller flake sizes suggesting that the high purity could be maintained throughout the deposit using simple, less expensive, environmentally friendly, non-chemical processes.

Ron Roda, president and CEO of Alabama Graphite, commented:

The Bama Mine Project is showing very promising characteristics with high purity in all size fractions, low sulphur content in addition to a high percentage of coarse and jumbo flake. Our preliminary surface exploration program has indicated that the deposit is far from exhausted and further work will begin immediately.
