- BIG NORTH GRAPHITE CORP. (TSX-V:
NRT) (the "Company"
or "Big North"), Big North
has received the assay results from the verification sampling
completed by R.Tim Henneberry, P.Geo., as part of his due diligence
review for the NI43-101 report to support the acquisition of
Grafito de Mexico S.A. and its El Tejon flake graphite mine and
mill. The sample results ranged from a low of 2.46% Cg to a high of
5.11% Cg (percent graphite carbon).
Company President Spiro Kletas commented, "We are
pleased to have our due diligence sampling results verify the mine
component of the El Tejon mine and mill acquisition. In particular,
the grade and consistency of mineralization throughout the known
workings has confirmed what we were hoping for and it will now be
the Company's goal to fast track this project into production in
order to add flake graphite production and sales to Big North's
business."
Sixteen samples were taken, including 14 one metre chip
samples, one 5 metre by 5 metre panel chip sample and one grab
sample of mineralized oversize. The sampling suggests flake
graphite mineralization is fairly continuous throughout the
existing El Tejon workings. A full table of the results can be
viewed below:

The bulk of the samples were taken at regular interval
along the lower pit face over a distance of 250 metres. The pit is
developed in a body of graphitic gneiss 700 metres long by 23 to 80
metres wide. The graphitic gneiss has been developed by the open
pit. In addition, three adits cut explored the full extent of
gneiss below the sill of the existing pit and numerous trenches,
cuts and pits tested the gneiss along strike.
All samples were shipped to the ALS Geochemistry prep
lab in Guadalajara, Mexico with the prepared pulps shipped to the
ISO 90011:2008 certified ALS Minerals laboratory in North
Vancouver, British Columbia. All samples were analyzed using the C-IR I 8 by Leco procedure with results
reported in % graphite carbon.
