Canada Carbon Inc. (the "Company" or "Canada
Carbon" or "CCB") (TSX-V:CCB),(FF:U7N1) is pleased to announce it
has received all of its assay results from the December 2022
drilling & Trenching program completed on the eastern part of
its Asbury Property, located in Notre-Dame-du-Laus, Quebec (“NDL”).
Drilling and trenching were conducted from November 21st, 2022 (see
news release dated January 9th) to November 30th, 2022.
Drilling Highlights
- Results for two drill holes testing
the conductor to the south (see Figure 1) show consistency with
historic drilling and highlight the possible northeast extension of
the graphite mineralization reported in showing MC8805 (8.14% Cg
over 18.9 m)
-
DDH22-AS-10,
- 5.00% (Cg) over 33.5 m including
13.86% (Cg) over 5.05m.
- 2.73% (Cg) over 18.2 m including
9.53% (Cg) over 1.35m
-
DDH22-AS-07, 2.21% (Cg) over
58.85 m including 9.21% (Cg) over 7.25m.
- These intercepts confirm that
graphite mineralization can explain the VTEM conductor previously
identified by Focus Graphite (Dubé, 2013).
- Both holes intercepts confirm the
presence of a mineralized graphite body and the probable
northeastward extension of the MC8805
Channel Sampling Highlights
- Trenching and channel sampling show
mineralization as coarse flake graphite hosted in marbles, skarns
and paragneiss, which is consistent with actual and historic
drilling observations and descriptions.
- CS-AS22-01,
- 1.01% (Cg) over 10.0 m including
1.99% (Cg) over 3.0m.
- CS-AS22-02,
- CS-AS22-05a,
- 4.24% (Cg) over 6.5 m including
9.15% (Cg) over 1.5m.
- All the trenches intercepted
graphite mineralization
The planned objective of the survey was to test
the northeastern part of a regional trend. The trend is composed of
multiple conductors and VTEM anomalies, that connect the Asbury
historical mine to the recently worked area (see figure 1).
According to Dubé (2013), this trend extends more than 4km from the
Asbury deposit to the northeast. Historical mining operations at
the Asbury (Graphex) Mine extracted 875,000 metric tons of graphite
at a 6%(Cg) cut-off grade (Charbonneau 2012).
The 2022 program consisted of 6 diamond
drillholes “DDH” (previously reported) totaling 830 meters, and 6
trenches which returned over 60.5m of channel samples. The drill
program aimed to test some targeted VTEM anomalies and conductors
at depth.
The Company next steps will be to send
additional samples from unassayed sections, to potentially increase
the length of the intersects and to prepare the next drilling
phases. The Company is also planning to further test the area with
ground geophysics, between the mine and the recently drilled area,
where numerous conductors remain untested. This geophysical survey
is aimed to better define the conductors where high grade
mineralization might be located. Eventually, the Company expects to
be able to demonstrate that the whole 4km conductor trend is
graphitic in nature, and then start a resource estimate on the
discovered mineralization.

QAQCA QAQC program was
conducted during the drilling campaign. It consisted in the
introduction of Certified Reference Materials (CRM) standard,
either blank material (without graphite) or standardized value.
Along the 480 drill core samples and 63 trenches samples, a total
of 14 blank and 11 graphite standards were inserted. The total QAQC
program represents 4.4% of total analyzed samples
Next StepsInitial
interpretation of the results indicates significant graphitic
mineralization, which in turn explains the conductor anomalies. The
Company is still reviewing results at this time and will publish a
future news release upon the completion of its review when upcoming
exploration plans are completed. 538 m of cores were analyzed out
of a total of 830m. Some drilling sections have not been yet
assayed and additional sections will be assayed to better define
the mineralized horizons. Ground geophysics is also planned between
the mine and the recently drilled area, to better define the
conductors where high-grade mineralization might be located.
Finally, a second phase of drilling will be aimed at supporting a
resource estimate for the Asbury Property.
Chief Executive Officer, Ellerton Castor, said:
"This first drill program on this section of the Asbury deposit
allowed us to better define graphite mineralization responsible for
the conductor anomalies that are located across the Asbury
Property. We still have multiple conductors to inspect that reach
from the historical Asbury mine, which produced very high quality
graphite, up to the northeaast corner of the Property, which
represent a distance of approximately 4.5km. All of the evidence to
date suggests that graphitic mineralization will explain the
anomalies between the northeast corner of the Property and the
Asbury historical mine site. We are truly excited about the
tremendous possibilities suggested by this Phase 1 trenching and
drilling program at Asbury and will expedite completion of a
resource statement."
