Vein graphite in Canada It appears that there has been some vein grahpite mining in Canada one hundred years ago. They did a report on the property in 2006. Since SGS seems to be having a hard time understanding vein graphite maybe ZEN should look for others who do.
Graphite samples were taken from graphite showings on the newly optioned lands and were tested in 2006. Of the four samples taken , three samples were taken from graphite schist on the property and one sample was taken from the George River Marble along strike from the property. There is a historic graphite mine just to the south, dating from approximately a hundred years ago. Graphite mining of that time concentrated on the high grade, vein graphite, often found at sheared lithologic contacts between schist and carbonates. There is a good possibility that the more economically attractivedisseminated flake graphite mineralization will be found within the George River Marbles that traverse the property. Also the distinctive geophysical anomalyoccurring the propertymay indicate the presence of additional graphite or other conductive minerals. Great Atlantic Resources Corp. is currently reviewing all the previous work and reports associated with the property as well as reviewing the local geology and will be commencing a phase one work program immediately.
