RE: The Miller Mine Excellent Info... Thanks geeraf1
From Cirkel, 1907, in describing the Miller property:
There can be noticed, in the open cut and shaft, four veins of graphite from a few inches up to eighteen inches wide, which are reported to increase at the bottom of the shaft (which could not be examined on account of being filled with water) to a width of thirty inches. Sixty-five tons of this vein graphite were mined and sent to the Globe Refining Company of Jersey City, N.J., and yielded thirty-two tons of clean crucible graphite. The Morgan Crucible Company of London and also J. H. Gauthier and Company, Jersey City, used some of this graphite in their crucibles and they pronounced it equal to the best Ceylon.
Of course, the Ceylon they refer to is the most valued vein graphite from Sri Lanka. As today's geophysics and drilling should be able to better define what exists at depth, Miller has outstanding potential, much better than Zenyatta's "graphite veins" in my opinion until Zen shows us real chunks or lumps of almost entirely graphite. It is believed that the surface vein outcrops which have been recently assayed at up to around 80% Cg may be pinched by non-graphitic dikes and are likely much wider at further depth. This is rare and appears to be a true vein deposit. Time will tell whether it is of significance in size to be commercialized.
