The above intervals are drilling lengths, not true widths, because thetrue orientation of the enrichment horizons is highly deformed andfolded and has not yet accurately been established.
The infill drilling focused on the core of the syncline at the west ofthe deposit area, infilling at the ‘nose’ of the synclinecontinued to produce wide intersection in, and adjacent to areas ofknown graphite enrichment. Step out drilling along the southern limbof the of the interpreted fold structure was completed and graphiteenrichment encountered suggest additional structural controls disruptthe continuity of the enrichment horizon to the east. Thisdistribution is broadly coincident with the magnetic anomaly.
A total of 347 diamond drill core samples of ½cut core were collected, individual sample lengths vary from 0.3 to1.50 m depending upon geological and mineralogical constraints. Every tenth sample was submitted as a standard, blank, or duplicate.The standard used was OREAS 723; a certified reference materialcontaining 5.87% TGC (Total Graphitic Carbon).
Samples were delivered to MSALABS in Langley, British Columbia, an ISOaccredited laboratory. There they were crushed to a nominal minus 2mm, split into representative sub-samples and then pulverized to atleast 85% minus 75 microns before collecting sub-sample pulps for eachof the core samples.
All sub-sample pulps were analysed for both Total Carbon + TotalSulphur (SPM-512) and Graphite Carbon (SPM-140). The Graphite Carbonanalysis process involves the sample to be ashed, leached, and theresidue measured by induction. The detection range for this analysisis between 0.02-50%, while the SPM-512 detection limit for both Carbonand Sulphur is 0.01-50%.

Aboutthe Berkwood Graphite Project
The Berkwood Graphite Project is located within the jurisdiction ofQuebec, in the Manicouagan Regional County Municipality, three hoursdriving time from the city of Baie-Comeau. Easy access is provided viaa major secondary road and numerous tertiary and forest roads thattraverse the property.
The Zone 1 deposit lies 8 km southwest of Mason Graphite’s depositwhich is the subject of a current feasibility study. The Companybelieves its Zone 1 deposit and that of Mason share many similargeological characteristics with the Zone 1 deposit being one of thehighest-grade graphite deposits in the world.
The current mineral resource at the Berkwood Graphite Project includesin-pit constrained resource totalling 1,755,300 tonnes of indicatedresources at 17.00 % Cgr and 1,526,400 tonnes in inferred resources at16.39 % Cgr.
