Alabama Graphite Announces Preliminary Metallurgical Results Showing Large Flakes in Newly Discovered Areas from its Coosa and Bama Projects in Alabama, USA

26.05.2015  |  Marketwired

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - May 26, 2015) - Alabama Graphite Corp. ("Alabama Graphite" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:ALP)(OTCQX:ABGPF)(FRANKFURT:1AG) (WKN:A1J35M) (ISIN:CA0102931080) is pleased to announce preliminary metallurgical results from trench samples taken in late 2014 and early 2015 from its Coosa Project in Coosa County, and its Bama Project in Chilton County, Alabama. Key results indicate that high percentages of coarse flakes occur in several newly trenched areas.

Two composite samples were prepared from shallow trenches excavated to test anomalies discovered by the airborne and ground geophysical surveys east and north of the already previously defined Coosa resource estimate. Two composites were also collected from trenches near the Bama Mine. Company personnel collected bulk material across continuous 50' to 75' lengths and submitted this to SGS Labs in Lakefield, Ontario. SGS used 2 kg of blended material per sample for their analyses. 

Preliminary results are presented in the table below:

         
Sample BT-1 BT-2 BT-3 BT-4
Location Bama North
(Chilton Co.)
Fixico
(Coosa Co.)
Bama West
(Chilton Co.)
Northern Strat
(Coosa Co.)
Grade 3.25% C(g) 3.10% C(g) 3.11% C(g) 2.94% C(g)
+ 80 mesh 37.1% 27.8% 37.7% 21.8%
         

"We are excited by these results as it shows we continue to find large graphite flakes on our sizable Coosa Project and on our Bama Project. Also important is that these results are all from recent surface trenching and consist exclusively of soft oxidized material that lies on the surface. This, in our opinion, is the best material to mine graphite in a simple, cost effective and environmentally friendly manner," states Ron Roda, President and CEO of Alabama Graphite. "In addition, these trenches are in a different area from where the Coosa Project's existing resource estimate was calculated and represent exciting opportunities to significantly expand our inventory of oxidized graphitic schist. The Company is presently drilling Fixico and the Northern Strat areas on our Coosa property in Alabama, USA in order to update its resource."

Additionally, Alabama Graphite continues to work on a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") for the Coosa Project. Metal Mining Consultants (MMC) of Littleton, Colorado, has been selected to conduct the initial capital and operating expense projections. The PEA will utilize both these CapEx and OpEx estimates as well as an updated resource estimate to incorporate the results from the planned drilling.

Rick Keevil, P. Geo., a Director of the Company and VP of Project Development, is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has approved the disclosure of the scientific or technical information concerning the Coosa and Bama Projects and contained in this press release.

About Alabama Graphite

Alabama Graphite Corp.'s mission is to become one of the greenest graphite producers in the world. The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Alabama Graphite Company Inc., is conducting exploration and development both at its flagship Coosa Graphite Project in Coosa County, Alabama, USA and the recently acquired Bama Mine Project in Chilton County, Alabama, USA. Alabama Graphite holds a 100% interest in the mining leases in respect of these two advanced-stage projects, both of which are on private land. The two projects encompass over 43,000 acres and are located in an area with significant historical production of crystalline flake graphite. The Company has the largest NI 43-101 indicated flake graphite resource in the United States based on drilling 0.18 square miles (0.3% of the total acreage). The Alabama deposits are unique in that a significant portion of the graphite-bearing material is oxidized and has been broken down into an extremely soft rock. Both projects have in place critical infrastructure, are within close proximity to transportation routes and enjoy a hospitable climate allowing for year-round production and delivery. For further information and updates on the Company, please visit www.alabamagraphite.com.
