Graphite demand is on the verge of ascending exponentially. Graphite supply for EV battery anodes and graphite prices will both be severely impacted, as there is virtually no graphite production in North America.
Rockstone Graphite Deposit is located 50 km west of the City of Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada. Rockstone project covers a total of 199 mining claims with excellent infrastructure, road access, proximal railways and a deepwater shipping port. Blackstone claim group covers the north western extension of the graphite horizon. (Note: no quantitative resource or overall grade determination are available at this time. A partner is desired to advance further development).
Exploration highlights:
-
discovery drill hole intersects 25.0% graphite over 24.0 meters with 1% combined Zn+Cu
-
diamond drill hole RS-22-03 intersects 101 meters averaging 3.26% graphite including 4.67% graphite over 71.26 meters
-
Preliminary XRD analyses reveal Rockstone graphite deposit hosts highly-ordered, very fine-grained (10 micron range) high-crystallinity hexagonal graphite exhibiting turbostratic disordering; however that could be related to processing.
-
NEW gold zone discovery 1.76 g/t Au over 2.0 meters in last section of drill hole RS-02-22. Overall width will be determined upon extension of the drill hole.
-
project hosts more than 50 drill-ready graphite targets ranging up to 180 meters wide
-
Volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) targets on Rockstone return zinc, copper and gold in addition to graphite. Thirty VMS drill targets are drill ready.
-
Historic trenches stripped in 2007 by Sabina Silver Corporation expose graphite mineralization on surface in multiple locations extending a strike length of more than ten kilometers.
