TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / June 29, 2022 / Gratomic Inc. (TSX-V:GRAT) (OTCQX:CBULF) (FSE:CB28) ('Gratomic' or the 'Company') reports that it has successfully completed the first stage of its Diamond Drilling (DD) program at its Aukam Graphite Project in Namibia (see press release dated May 19, 2022).
Sixteen holes, totaling 1,218.85 meters, were drilled during this first stage of the program which concluded on June 24, 2022. Hole depths varied from 42 to 141.1 m, with all holes intercepting graphite veins (see press release dated May 24, 2022), as expected by the Company.
Drill core samples were sent to laboratories in Namibia and South Africa. Assay results are expected within 30 days enabling the geological modelling of the drilled mineralization to be completed and quantified. This will also enable new drill targets to be defined and pursued.
In parallel, the Company has initiated a near-surface bench excavation program at the region of the historic adits in order to unveil additional mineralization, which was not previously accessible by the DD program, due to poor access conditions in the upper areas of the mountain. In addition to recovering eventual mineralization from this section, this program will also provide proper surfaces to accommodate drilling rigs for a second planned DD program, aiming to intercept additional veins.
