VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Sept. 18, 2013) - CARIBOU KING RESOURCES LTD. ("Caribou" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CKR) (FRANKFURT:CB8) is pleased to announce the discovery of graphitic marble and sulphidic blocks on the 100% owned Calumet Graphite prospect contiguous to Canada Carbon's (TSX VENTURE:CCB) Miller hydrothermal lump-vein graphite mine, located approximately 96 kilometers west of Montreal. Graphitic marble and sulphidic blocks are features present on the neighbouring Miller historic graphite mine area, 790 meters to the east, and are related to a hydrothermal graphite vein system. (Readers are cautioned that there is no guarantee that mineralization of the extent that exists at the Miller mine will be identified on the Company's Calumet project.)
Phase 1 fieldwork at Calumet also discovered graphite outcropping that will be further explored using a beep-mat survey along the contact area to further isolate pegmatite bodies and graphite mineralization. Conclusions from the first phase of exploration include a good geological context and a high potential area for graphite mineralization. Further sampling is now underway on the property as well as: mapping, line cutting, beep-mat surveys and IP geophysical surveys.
Caribou King's Calumet Project Geologist Steven Lauzier, P. Geo. states, "The graphitic marble block discovered at Calumet shows the high potential of the area and also reveals that more graphite mineralization can be present in the immediate area, probably due to a similar mineralization process as the Miller graphite hydrothermal system. The sulphidic block is also an indicator that hydrothermal processes may have happened in the area."
Mr. Lauzier recently completed exploration on the historic Miller Graphite Mine, that is being explored by Canada Carbon Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CCB), and adjoins the Calumet project on the east and north sides of the property.
Mr. Lauzier further comments: "The Calumet property shares a similar lithology with the Miller Mine and is highly prospective for the large flake graphite mineralization similar to that at the adjacent Miller Mine. Many areas of particular interest have been marked out and will be further explored."
Michael England, CEO & Director states, "This is a very active and exciting time for Caribou King as we explore all of our highly prospective graphite properties, several of which are in close proximity to historic and operating graphite mines."
