Nouveau Monde Mining Enterprises Inc. (TSXV:NOU,OTC Pink:NMGRF) announced scoping-level metallurgical results from 13 samples from collected from the Tony claim block during an ongoing scoping and trenching program. Tony is part of the Quebec-based Matawinie graphite property.
As quoted in the press release:

Results … reveal a coarse flake size distribution and high purities of the graphite concentrates, especially since no optimization testing was performed. According to the test results, it appears that surface samples are more oxidized than those from drill core, thus requiring process optimization. Drill core inspection suggests that surface alteration varies only from about 0.3 m to 1.5 m in depth.

Eric Desaulniers, president and CEO of Nouveau Monde, commented:

These results exceed those of most known graphite exploration projects in terms of flake size distribution and grade of the concentrate using similar test parameters. The favorable metallurgy, coupled with the imposing mineralization widths and grades observed over the property to date (see press releases from September 29^th, 2015 and September 10^th, 2015), further demonstrate the potential of the property. Nouveau-Monde is committed to provide a first resource calculation of its graphite project over the Tony block by year-end.
