ELKO, 02/05/13 - Graphite Corp. (OTCQB: GRPH) ("Graphite Corp." or the "Company"), an exploration stage company focused on the evaluation, acquisition and development of domestic graphite mining opportunities, is very pleased to announce the results of initial samples from a recent field study on its Alabama and Montana properties.
The study of graphite-bearing mineralization was undertaken at the 3,759.6 acre Carr and Cahaba leases located in Clay County, Alabama and at the approximately 1,700-acre Crystal Graphite property located in Beaverhead County, Montana.
The Alabama samples were consistent with prior observations including historic reports from the U.S., Bureau of Mines. The majority of samples were taken in strongly weathered rocks that are very soft and offer simplified production scenarios due to ease of extraction. The samples were taken from several localities throughout the property and the uniformity of grades over 2% crystalline flake graphite offers very promising economics for scalable production.
In Montana, the >20% samples are significant and very promising with high grades right at surface. The material is amorphous graphite as opposed to the crystalline flake found in Alabama. The incidence of high grade percentages easily supports development efforts aimed at production.

The geological work was led by Company President Brian Goss and Company Director Jason Babcock. The assay work was conducted by INSPECTORATE (A Bureau Veritas Group Company) of Sparks, Nevada. The study included a physical review of the mineral lease areas to include specific details and features of interest.
Company President Brian Goss states, "We are well pleased by these initial findings. The main point of interest and significance of these samples is that we are actually confirming mineralization and are getting very good numbers while just scratching the surface as far as the evaluation process goes. Right now, we are firmly on-track and looking forward to further evaluation and an economic assessment of what we currently hold. That's the sort of information we can use to raise more capital in order to fully exploit our strategic plan. I'm really looking forward to seeing how these early results are received, as we believe it translates into a dynamic project scenario for the Company and its shareholders."
