Caribou King Resources (TSXV:CKR) reported that results from its beneficiation test on a second location in the Buckingham flake/lump graphite property yielded purity of up to 99.4% Cg (graphitic carbon). The samples were taken from the “Uncle Zone”, located in the southeast portion of Buckingham Property.
As quoted in the press release:
The second sample, with a head grade of 56.0% Cg (58.3% total C), was concentrated by grinding and flotation and divided into three size fractions: +48, +100 and -100 mesh. The +48 mesh size (jumbo size) fraction represented 31.6% of the flotation concentrate and assayed >99.9% Cg*. The +100 mesh size (medium to large size) fraction represented 25.3% of the flotation concentrate and assayed >99.9% Cg*.
… These results were obtained in a single flotation test without process optimization such as acid leach or alkaline roast. Exceptional results from the two samples collected 250 metres apart are extremely encouraging as they indicate that material is widespread within the “Uncle Zone” and could also be qualified as ultra-high-grade graphite.
Caribou King has therefore decided to make metallurgical studies a top priority in parallel to an aggressive exploration program at its “Uncle Zone”. Purity of Buckingham graphite is to be further defined by additional tests as to get the maximum benefit from it.
Michael B. England, CEO & Director of Caribou King stated, “Needless to say, these results are highly encouraging. They suggest that mineralization at the Uncle Zone is high purity and also extends for a considerable distance.”
