Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Ashburton Ventures Inc. (TSX-V: ABR) (ARB-FRANKFURT) (“Ashburton” or the "Company”) is pleased to announce all drilling and access permits and approvals have been received and the company is mobilizing a crew to commence a second phase drill program on its Buckingham Graphite property located in Southwestern Quebec. The program will expand on previous drilling completed in late 2015. The initial drilling program will consist of up to 1,000 metres of core drilling and will be aimed at further testing the 1.1 km long, northeast-oriented geophysical conductor, located on the southern part of the property.
President and chief executive officer Michael England stated: "We are excited to report commencing this follow-up drill program to last winter’s successful campaign at Buckingham which encountered significant intercepts from 5 out of 5 holes drilled.”
Following the success of the last drill program Ashburton further announces it has engaged Inlandsis Consultants of Montreal, Quebec to write a NI 43-101 report on the Buckingham Graphite Project.
The Buckingham graphite property consists of 18 claims in ranges VIII and IX, Buckingham Township, Quebec, which cover an area of 1,082 hectares. Exploration on the southern part of the claim group has yielded assay results as high as 21.6 per cent Cg (graphitic carbon) over 14.5 metres from channel samples and purity results up to 96.1 per cent Ct (total carbon) from large-flake fractions (see Cavan PR dated July 17, 2014 and May 28, 2015). A first-phase drill program returned assays of 112 meters of 4.07% ( see PR dated February 11, 2016) as well as 16 meters of 11.09% Cg and 88 meters of 3.29% Cg. (see PR dated June 23, 2016).
