Canada Carbon Completes First Half of Drill Program, Studies Potential Economic Value of Marble

Canada Carbon (TSXV:CCB) announced the completion of 750 metres of diamond drilling on its first 1,500 m drill campaign on the Miller Property.for 2015. Wide intersections of white marble were encountered in previous drilling, and consultations with dimensional stone industry representatives revealed that the white marble intersections were continuous enough to warrant further evaluation of the quality and size of the marble unit. Canada Carbon now seeks to determine the potential economic value of the marble found in association with the graphite mineralization on the Miller property.

As quoted in the press release:

A large marble block (1m by 1m by 0.5 m) as well as marble core samples, representing both surface and sub-surface marble material, will be polished to evaluate their quality as architectural stone. The Company will also investigate the quality of the marble as dimensional stone and as aggregate stone by performing various specification tests including comparing it to the MG-20 standard used by the Government of Québec.

The Company’s objective is to determine the potential economic value of the marble found in association with the graphite mineralization on the Miller property.

Canada Carbon Executive Chairman & CEO, Bruce Duncan, said:

It is possible that the Company might be fortunate enough to not only have discovered hydrothermal lump/vein graphite that can be readily upgraded to extremely high purity, but that it is hosted in a marble unit that may itself meet the necessary criteria for having a reasonable prospect of economic extraction.
