Alabama Graphite Reports Metallurgical Results from Bama

Alabama Graphite Corp. (TSXV:ALP,OTCQX:ABGPF) announced that it has received the first set of metallurgical results from sample material from its Bama property.

As quoted in the press release:

Using only simple floatation (without chemical or thermal treatment) the Bama composite sample produced a graphite concentrate that contained an aggregate of 54.7% large flake (+80 mesh), of which 17.8% was in the jumbo flake (+48 mesh) category.  For all size ranges coarser than +150 mesh the purity exceeded 96.3% with the jumbo flake fraction having a purity of 98.5% in Scoping Level Evaluations. Another notable characteristic is the sample’s low sulphur content at 0.02%.

The 5 kg composite sample was taken from the upper 50 feet of the existing Bama Mine pit wall.

President and CEO Ron Roda commented:

We are tremendously pleased to see such high purity values within a simple flotation, in our first sample of the Bama material. To combine this with over 50% large and jumbo flakes indicate that the Bama Property shows excellent economic potential.  This combination of flake size distribution, purity and low sulphur content will allow us to support our mission of having one of the greenest graphite operations in the world. The Chilton properties we recently acquired will deservedly receive significant attention this fall and winter.
