Focus Graphite Reports 88.5 Meters at 12.82 Percent Graphitic Carbon at Lac Tetepisca

Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV:FMS) announced intersections of significant widths of graphitic mineralization in a new zone at its Lac Tétépisca project in Quebec. The 2014 drill program in this new zone consided of four holes covering a 600 meter strike length designed to test surface mineralization found in trenches down to a vertical depth of approximately 100 metres.

As quoted in the press release:

This summer Abitibi Geophysics of Val-d’Or, Québec, completed a combined magnetic-electromagnetic ground IMAGEM geophysical survey that covered 47 km of grid-lines over the “Manicouagan Ouest graphitic corridor”. This time domain IMAGEM geophysical system has a high spatial resolution to allow for a more detailed analysis of the EM conductors within the anomalous zone.

The graphitic corridor is outlined by EM anomalies that are very well explained by the trenching and drilling results, and the drill intercepts correlate very well with EM anomaly boundary. The discovery zone that was drilled has a geophysical signature that extends for more than 200 m to the northeast and over 700 m to the southwest for a total strike length of 1500 metres, and it is also open at depth.

Focus Graphite president and COO, Don Baxter, said:

We are very excited about these drilling results that confirm significant widths of mineralization at depth and the potential that this property may hold. Together with the positive, preliminary metallurgical test results yielding high carbon content of medium and fine flakes, our Lac Tétépisca project is very promising. So far it compares favourably in terms of length, width and grade to our Lac Knife graphite deposit.
