Gratomic Announces Assay Results on Aukam Diamond Drilling Program

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / November 17, 2022 / Gratomic Inc. ("Gratomic", "GRAT," or the "Company") (TSXV:GRAT)(OTCQX:CBULF)(FSE:CB82) is pleased to provide the first laboratory assay results on its diamond drilling program at its Aukam Graphite Project in Namibia. This program aimed to intercept mineralized graphite veins to confirm the Company's early estimations and to provide a deeper understanding of Aukam geology.

The assays have been received from ALS Laboratories Namibia (Pty) Ltd, which included 15 drill core samples. Table 1: Table 1 highlights the locations of the diamond drill holes during the drilling program on the Aukam Project in Namibia.

ALS's graphitic carbon assay methods and equipment include the LECO carbon-sulphur analyzer and high temperature combustion infrared detection. During this procedure, the carbon in the sample is converted to carbon dioxide (CO2), which is then measured by infrared (IR) detectors.

The tables below present all Total Graphitic Carbon (TGC) (%) assay results

Table 2: Graphitic carbon assays from the drill cores obtained on the Aukam project. Drill cores were sampled where graphite veins exceeded 20 cm and a minimum sample length of 50 cm from holes AKD001, AKD002, AKD003, AKD005 and AKD006 (all other holes did not fulfill this requirement and hence no samples where taken) on the Aukam Project. More detailed information of the assay results from these holes is set out in Table 2 below. Gratomic inserted two certified reference material samples namely OREAS 723 and OREAS 724 with an accuracy of 100% and 97.8% respectively. The QP therefore accepts the values of the laboratory assays.
