Callinex Mines Inc. has discovered approximately 80 meters of graphite mineralization at its Neuron property situated just west of the Thompson Nickel Belt in Manitoba, Canada. The junior mining company found the graphite while completing its winter drilling activities.
The Thompson Nickel Belt is a band of rock that is squeezed between two major blocks, known as Churchill and Superior provinces of the Canadian Shield. The rock is especially rich in nickel and copper along with other mineral deposits.
Mike Muzylowski, the chairman of Callinex Mines’ board of directors, has commented, “Our exploration program has been going on for almost a month now. Initial results are very encouraging with nearly 80 metres of graphite mineralization encountered in the discovery hole. We are anticipating assay results that will determine both flake size and carbon content. The drilling program is ongoing.”
