MONTREAL, Feb. 28, 2013 /CNW/ - Mason Graphite Inc. ("Mason Graphite" or the "Company") (TSX.V: LLG) reports assay results for 36 new drill holes (6,830 meters) from the mineral resource expansion program at its Lac Guéret project in northeastern Quebec. Significant drill intercepts in this group of results include:

  • Hole LG-038  intersected 60 meters at 13.2% Cgr and 36 meters at 15.8% Cgr

  • Hole LG-039 intersected 113 meters at 15.5% Cgr (including 11 meters at 38.7% Cgr)

  • Hole LG-057 intersected 55 meters at 16.4% Cgr (including 16 meters at 27.1% Cgr)

  • Hole LG-207 intersected 44 meters at 17.1% Cgr (including 12 meters at 31.4 % Cgr) and 28 meters at 16.9% Cgr (including 13 meters at 27.2% Cgr)

  • Hole LG-213 intersected 26 meters at 18.1% Cgr and 63 meters at 15.4% Cgr

  • Hole LG-215 intersected 31 meters at 24.3% Cgr and 17 meters at 18.3% Cgr

  • Hole LG-227 intersected 33 meters at 13.3% Cgr and 76 meters at 12.0% Cgr

Benoît Gascon, CEO of Mason Graphite commented, "We are very pleased by the consistently high grade intercepts in this group of results. The mineralized intersections to the South, South-West and North-East of the current mineral resource demonstrate strong potential for continued growth beyond the current resource envelope and we look forward to including these results in the calculation of an upcoming mineral resource update."

The 36 assay results reported below are part of an exploration program that was initiated in July 2012 and completed last November. This drill program consisted of 163 drill holes totaling approximately 26,500 meters and was designed to delineate mineral continuity primarily in the GC zone. This zone hosts a National Instrument 43-101 mineral resource of 300,000 tonnes at 24.4% Carbon as Graphite ("Cgr") in the Measured category and 7.3 million tonnes at 20.2% Cgr in the Indicated category (see Technical Report dated July 3 2012 for details).  Complete results and the corresponding collar location map are presented below. Results for the remaining 104 drill holes will be published as soon as the data is compiled.

Roche Ltd. Consulting Group, who completed the Company's National Instrument 43-101 mineral resource estimates in July 2012, has been retained to complete the upcoming mineral resource update.

Quality Control and Assurance

The drill program was supervised by Benoît Moreau, P.Eng.  Nathalie Guillemette, P. Geo., M.Sc., a Company's consultant and a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical information contained in this news release.  Ms. Guillemette  has verified the data disclosed in this news release, including sampling, analytical and test data underlying the information disclosed in this news release. Ms. Guillemette has verified that the results were accurate from the official assay certificates provided to the Company.

Analyses for this drilling campaign were carried out by AGAT Laboratories Ltd. in Mississauga, Ontario, a company independent from Mason Graphite, exercising a thorough Quality Control and Assurance program (QA/QC) with Mason Graphite personnel inserting one blank, two standards and one duplicate every 100 samples. AGAT Laboratories is an accredited analytical laboratory. Carbon as graphite ("Cgr") assays reported in this press release were obtained by using the LECO analytical technique ASTM E1915-07A with a detection limit of 0.01% Cgr. Drill holes were sampled over an average of 1.5 metre intervals.
