Sehr gute Zusammenfassung, Vieles auf den Punkt gebracht. Die meisten Info konnte man hier schon vor einigen Wochen einsehen, einige neue Info sind aber auch dabei. Klasse Arbeit! Standard Graphite maintains an Aggressive Exploration Strategy even as it Reduces Risks
Standard Graphite (TSXV: SGH) announced the signing of an option to purchase a 100% stake in 31 mining claims in Quebec located along similar graphite rich gneisses to those in Fermont, Quebec, which known for its rich deposits of large and medium flake graphite.
Graphite is going to be essential in the advancement of clean energy technology thanks to the advances that this material is generating in battery technology, super capacitors for wind turbines, and pebble bed nuclear reactors. Large flake graphite is the most desirable variety of graphite for power generating and storing applications and it has seen sharply rising demand accounting for a fivefold price increase from USD$ 500/ton to USD$ 2,500/ton since 2005 with the steepest price increases occurring over the past two years. China produces some 70% of the world’s graphite; however, Beijing is concerned about the supply of this material and has imposed restrictions on the export of graphite, which has become a strategic resource. The combination of tighter Chinese supply and higher prices presents an opportunity for emerging graphite producers in Canada such as Standard Graphite, ‘Standard’ (TSXV: SGH). Standard’s management has many years of experience in the mining industry: Chris Bogart, the CEO, managed magnum Uranium before ‘Standard’ while the prospecting for graphite is led by a geologist with many years of graphite experience. Standard is focusing its activities in areas with proven graphite potential in eastern Ontario and western Quebec. The acquisition of the new claims in Quebec, announced today, is part of a wider, and aggressive, company strategy to avoid putting all its ‘exploration eggs’ in one basket, diversifying the prospecting areas, such that it does not have to rely on one project alone to secure an important find; it has a many possibilities. Standard is interested in targeting primarily open pit mines. Last week, Standard announced the completion of an EM survey of its Black Donald property (located 140km. east of Ottawa, ON.), which noted the presence of two large conductors, prompting the acquisition of additional claims that are linked to those conductors. Standard says the conductors have a pattern that is very similar to the Black Donald Mine, which produced highly pure large flake graphite from 1895 to 1950. Prospectair Geosurveys conducted an EM survey to help identify known and potential new mineralization last January. Standard says it is can now proceed with the next phase of the project which includes a field reconnaissance program. Standard’s strategy of focusing on a variety of strategic areas showing high potential for a large find of high purity large flake graphite (the type that is in highest demand) offers interesting opportunities for graphite investors.
