Diamond Frank Inc. Intersects Graphite on the Commandant Project
10.10.2012 | Marketwired
LAVAL, 10/10/12 - Diamond Frank Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE: DOD) announces the results of its 2012 drilling campaign on the Commandant Project of which one drillhole has intersected two (2) graphitic bands.The first drillhole (COM-12-01) initially planned for a depth of 500 meters, was extended to a depth of 648 meters. This drillhole has mainly intersected diorite units and highly to very highly sheared and deformed sediments (greywacke) and several tonalitic intrusions with centimetric to metric pegmatite dykes. Some pyroxenitic and grabbroic intrusions were also intersected. Some centimetric pyritic zones, with traces to 1% of chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite were intersected and well explain the targeted conductor.
The table below shows the best values obtained.

The second drillhole, (COM-12-02), planned for a depth of 800 meters, was extended to a depth of 946 meters. This drillhole has intersected lithological units similar to those of (COM-12-01). This drillhole targeted a geophysical anomaly (very strong conductor) which is explained by the presence of two (2) graphitic breccia zones within a strongly folded and deformed fine grained sedimentary sequence (greywacke). These graphitic zones show respectively relative thicknesses of 0.8 m and 0.3 m. Graphite is semi-massive to massive with medium grain size. Some centimetric sulphide-rich zones (pyrrhotite, pyrite and chalcopyrite) within a pyroxenitic unit were intersected and revealed some silver, chromium, copper, nickel and zinc anomalous values.
