Green Battery Minerals Inc. provided initial results from twenty (20) diamond drill holes that were completed as part of the Company's successful second phase of drilling on the newly discovered Zone 6 area at the Berkwood Graphite Project, situated 280 km north of Baie-Comeau, Quebec. A total of 20 exploratory drill holes were completed for a total of 2,058m. Seven of the twenty holes intersected significant graphite enrichment contiguous with previous drill results, extending the initial strike length of the Graphite enrichment horizon to 350 m along the southern limb. Green Battery Minerals is also very pleased to announce it has acquired additional claims adjacent to the zone 6 area. In total 16 new claims amounting to 866 Ha was staked on behalf of Green Battery Minerals to cover additional prospective areas with geophysical anomalism surrounding the core of the claims at Zone 6. The 2nd Phase of drilling was successful in delineating along strike continuation of graphite enrichment along the southern limb of the host antiform fold structure. Initial results show the mineralization to be continuous along strike for a length of approximately 350 m. Approximately 100 narrow intersections of graphite enrichment (both massive and disseminated) were encountered in a total of 18 of the 20 holes completed. These intervals ranged in thickness from 0.5 to 4 m in length and often identified new (unknown) zones of graphite enrichment, of these a total of 24 were greater than 1 m with observed massive graphite enrichment. The above intervals are drilling lengths, not true widths, because the true orientation of the enrichment horizons has not yet been established. The 2022 drilling focused on the outcrops 1 to 3 along the southern limb, and outcrop 4 at the`fold nose' area. Intersections in holes 32 and 13 successfully extended the westward strike of graphite enrichment by approximately 100 m - open to the west. Intersections in holes 14, 15, 17, 16, 20, and 18, extended the enriched horizon to the east connecting it with the Outcrop 3 area, where the thickest intersection were encountered in hole 21. Additional intersections in the neighboring holes 22, and 24 appear to show local folding and replication of the enriched horizon within the antiform which hosts the graphite enriched horizon. The results from the drilling show a complex fold interference pattern across the zone 6 area. The diamond drilling program was completed with oriented core allowing the collection important structural data to aid in interpretation of the spatial extent and controls on the enrichment horizon. Interpretations are currently underway to better understand the fold geometry at the zone 6 area, and to understand controls on localized replication of the enrichment horizon as identified at the outcrop 3 area. Drilling at the outcrop 4 area structure encountered numerous variably thick intersections of graphite enrichment where shallow dips exposed large areas of outcropping graphite at surface. Oriented core measurements are currently being interpreted to resolve the complex fold interference pattern which controls the spatial distribution of graphite enrichment at the nose
of the antiform area. 179 diamond drill core samples of sawn core have been collected from core lengths usually varying from 0.3 to 1.50 m depending upon geological and mineralogical constraints. Every tenth sample, a QAQC measure was entered in the sample submission in the order of standard-blank- standard-duplicate. The standard selected is OREAS 723; a certified reference material containing 5.87% TGC (Total Graphitic Carbon). Samples were delivered to MSALABS in Langley, British Columbia, an ISO accredited laboratory. There they were crushed to a nominal minus 2 mm, split into representative sub-samples and then pulverized to at least 85% minus 75 microns before collecting sub-sample pulps for each of the core samples. All sub-sample pulps were analysed for both Total Carbon + Total Sulphur (SPM-512) and Graphite Carbon (SPM-140). The Graphite Carbon analysis process involves the sample to be ashed, leached, and the residue measured by induction. The detection range for this analysis is between 0.02-50%, while the SPM-512 detection limit for both Carbon and Sulphur is 0.01-50%.
