Aben Resources reports impressive exploration results from the Slocan Graphite property in British Columbia. A previously unsampled zone 2 km northeast of the main conductive zone returned multiple samples with grades between 1-to-2% graphitic carbon, greatly extending the mineralized trend along strike
Aben Resources (TSX-V:ABN, OTCQB:ABNAF) Limited provided a sweeping corporate update on impressive analytical results from surface exploration work completed in July 2022 on the Slocan Graphite property, 34 kilometers (km) northwest of Castlegar, in British Columbia.
The diversified Canadian gold and graphite exploration company said exploration work comprised field mapping, rock and soil sampling, and the evaluation of prospective drill sites for a planned future drill program.
Aben geologists took a total of 52 rock and 83 soil samples from areas within and outboard of the strong conductive anomaly identified by a 2010 airborne electromagnetic geophysical survey. Previous work has shown that flake graphite mineralization grading more than 4.5% is hosted in metamorphic rocks within the Tedesco Conductive Anomaly.
The company said results from the 2022 rock sampling program returned a range of grades from trace to 4.36% graphitic flake carbon, which reflects the variety of rock types from which the samples were sourced. A previously unsampled zone located 2 km northeast of the main conductive zone returned multiple samples with grades between 1-to-2% graphitic carbon, greatly extending the mineralized trend along strike.
The discovery compelled Aben to increase the size of the Slocan Graphite property to 2,826 hectares by adding a 439.4 hectare claim via staking. The main Tedesco Conductive Zone has never been drill-tested despite the compelling coincident geophysical conductor and the graphite-bearing surface rock samples, noted the firm.
The soil sampling program results correlate well with known graphite mineralization and will help to delineate new areas to target with increased sampling density, mechanical trenching, and potential drill holes.
