Galaxy Graphite Corp. is pleased to announce that a two-phased summer field program has returned very encouraging sample results on its Brownell Lake, SK gold project.
Following the Phase I program consisting of prospecting and sampling (soils and outcrops), as well as ground geophysics (VLF/magnetometer), Phase II included detailed outcrop sampling with diamond-saw cut channel samples, over prospective zones identified in Phase I.
The Brownell Lake property is located in northern Saskatchewan and is prospective for shear zone-hosted gold and intrusion-related gold. Phase Two of work on the Brownell Lake property took place from September 10 to September 17, 2012. During this time period, four historical showings were located, stripped and channel sampled: Olson, Olson Point, Jena and Kalix. One additional historical showing, Juba, was located and grab sampled. Anomalous gold at the Olson and Olson Point showings is believed to be shear zone-related, while gold at the Jena, Kalix and Juba showings is believed to be related to the presence of a nearby granitoid intrusion. A series of trenches was cleared and mapped on the property and a total of 24 rock and 112 channel samples were collected and sent for multi-element ICP-MS analysis at Acme Labs in Vancouver. A total of 128.5 metres of channels were cut and sampled.
Assay results were highly encouraging with a high value of 25.1 g/t Au over 1.03 metres in one location on the Jena prospect and 4.1 g/t Au over 5.1 metres in different area on the same prospect. All showings, with the exception of Juba, yielded anomalous gold values.
Olson/Olson Point: The Olson and Olson Point zones are underlain by metavolcanic rocks in an area which is anomalously magnetic. This area was previously drilled with 5 holes during 2007 and 2008. A review of the core from those holes indicates that the full mineralized zone was not sampled and assayed. Channel sampling has expanded the width of the mineralized zone, and has identified its surface expression over a strike length of 220 metres, and is open along strike in both directions.
