Additional Drilling To Commence On Zone 6 Of Berkwood Project
VANCOUVER - Green Battery Minerals Inc. reported commencement of additional drilling on Zone 6 of the Berkwood Graphite Project. The program is intended to further define the extent and grade of the Zone 6 graphite discovery and to drill into the outcrops that were exposed in our last mapping program done in July of this year.
The 20-hole 2,000 m 2022 drill program has been designed based on the results of surface exposures of graphite identified during the previous July mapping program. Semi continuous horizons of graphite were identified along the trend and appear to define a recumbent fold structure. Drilling is to initially focus on outcropping areas of graphite. At each of the principal outcrop locations a number of holes will be advanced and will attempt to demonstrate down dip and along-strike continuity. Drilling will commence along 400m of continuous graphite exposure along the south-dipping southern limb of the anti-form between Areas 1 – 3 outcrops. Where access is possible, targeted holes will be advanced in the nose of the anti-form, where surface mapping has identified fault offset surface continuity into the Area 4 outcrops. Several targeted holes have also been specifically designed to establish the near surface true thickness of the outcropping graphite. Drilling is expected to commence before the end of this month and is expected to last for 4 to 6 weeks with field operations based out of Manic 5, Quebec. The proposed budget has been approved in the amount of CAD$1,000,000.
