Saint Jean Carbon Starts Significant Drill Program

Saint Jean Carbon Inc. (“Saint Jean” or the “Company”) (TSXV:SJL), a carbon science company engaged in the design and build of green energy storage, green energy creation and green re-creation through carbon materials. The Company is pleased to announce that it is starting a significant drill program on one of its Buckingham mining properties, based on the helicopter born survey that was completed in the fall and the digitalization of the previous drilling. The goal of the drill program is to cover as much of the properties as possible and twin drill existing holes to verify historical information. The end result will help determine a resource model.
Paul Ogilvie, CEO, commented: “It’s great to be back on the ground and working. All of the summer and fall work projects were successful and have lead us to start drilling; what will hopefully be the future of a certain number of small pit operations. As previously demonstrated, the blended graphite we created produced the highest possible quality, high performance lithium-ion batteries. As demand for spherical, carbon coated graphite continues to grow, knowing that we can make this product is half the way to success. The other half is figuring out how much we can make.”
Christian Derosier, P.Geo., D.Sc., commented: “The drill program is planned for fifteen drill holes and will cover about 1,500 meters in length spread over many shallow new holes and twin holes next to historical holes for verification and to be in compliance with NI 43-101. The rejects and the pulps of the core samples will be sent out to determine grade, element analysis and quality. The cores will be blended for further scientific research and to work towards creating a mine signature for assurance of duplicating the results on a much larger scale.”
The Company will use the results of the work program to continue to develop an engineering model and equipment designs for the high speed first commercial shaping and coating mill in North America. The Company is constructing the first stand-alone patent pending mill, as previously announced in a press release dated May 19, 2016. The mill will grind, size, shape and coat graphite for the lithium-ion battery industry for use in electric cars and bulk energy storage. Presently any material for production is sourced from a number of off shore graphite mines. The Company will release the results from the drill program as they become available.
