We were also pleasantly surprised by the condition of the old mine workings and this will be an important factor as we move towards the long-term development of this very high-grade graphite project.\" \n \n \n \n \n \n \"We will be sending the drill core to an accredited laboratory for assaying as soon as possible. The assay results will then be handed over to the independent competent person to assist in his resource estimation work.\"\n \n \n \n \n \n D...
