Callinex Mines Inc. yesterday unveiled assay results from the last two diamond drill holes of its 12-drill hole campaign on its Neuron Graphite Project in northern Manitoba.
Both drill holes, NEU010 and NEU012, intersected graphite mineralization, the junior miner said, adding that intervals represent core length as true widths are unknown at this time.
The graphite mineralization extends the strike length of the eastern panel where a bulk of the drilling from the exploration program took place, Callinex said.
The eastern panel was targeted for drilling after a strong electromagnetic anomaly was identified by an airborne geological survey, said the Vancouver-based company.
SGS Laboratories of Ontario is now conducting a liberation analysis to determine the characteristics and size of the flake graphite encountered at the Neuron Project.
Callinex’s Neuron property consists of 44,300 hectares of mineral exploration licenses in northern Manitoba near Thompson.
The land package was acquired by way of staking. The property is accessed by winter road.
Callinex conducted a 1,850 line-kilometre versatile time-domain electromagnetic survey on the property in the fall of 2013.
The company said this uncovered several areas of conductivity coincident with magnetic lows, which its exploration team identified as potential targets for graphite mineralization.
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its regulation services provider accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of information supplied by Callinex.
