Location: 50 km ENE of Mont-Laurier. Excellent access. The land package is secured around four major showings
# of claims: 47
The 246-line-km survey flown over the 47-claim Ruisseau project located 50 km ENE of Mont-Laurier identified 538 TDEM point anomalies with 204 having an intermediate to very strong conductive response. Eleven linear TDEM trends and three spot anomalies show strong correlation with magnetic trends and are considered as prospective targets for graphite-sulphide mineralization. Ten other TDEM trends are associated with MAG lows or do not show any clear correlation to magnetic data. Graphite hosted within non-magnetic marble rocks may be the source of TDEM responses of this sort.
Work history: In 1989, Graphicor Resources – Staking, geophysical survey. In 1989-1990, Graphicor Resources – Drilling. In 2013, Caribou King – Prospecting, drilling. In 2013, Vision Exploration – Geophysical survey.

Lithology: Graphite mineralization is associated primarily with marble. Mineralization is also found in paragneiss and quartzite (L’Ascension Supracrustal Suite)(GM 69035).
Morphology: This graphite mineralized zone corresponds to a strip of marble nearly 2 m wide, oriented NW70/60. Graphite mineralization occurs as flakes evenly distributed within the marble. Graphite mineralization is also found in nodules of 2 to 10 mm in marble (GM 69035).
Genesis: Successive metamorphism of sedimentary strata containing organic matter.
Mineralization: Grade: 10.14% Cg (graphitic carbon) over 6.0 m (hole T89-13); 12.46% Cg over 3.0m (90-20 sounding); 15.88% Cg over 2.14 m (hole T89-04); 19.49% Cg and 19.19 Cg (surface sample T-004 and T-005-A) (GM-51068). This graphite mineralized zone corresponds to a band of carbonate metasedimentary rocks (marble) locally containing up to 20% disseminated crystalline graphite. Graphite mineralization occurs as flakes of 0.5 to 2 mm. Graphite occurs in the foliation planes of the rock. There are sulphides, including pyrite and pyrrhotite, associated with graphite (GM 69035).
History of work: In 1991, Graphicor Resources – Geological cartography.

Lithology: Graphite is found within schistose gneissic bands.
: This mineralized zone of graphite is found inside bands of gneiss whose thicknesses are metric. The strength of the graphitic horizons is tightly controlled by the structure, ie a system of isoclinal folds P1 at N 232/24 degrees taken up by P2 at N 270/30 degrees.
Typology: Genesis: Successive metamorphism of sedimentary strata containing organic matter.
Mineralization: Grade: 15.53% Cg, 12.60% Cg, 11.40% Cg and 8.70% Cg (surface sample T-017, T-018, T-015 and T-021; GM -51068). Graphite is generally found in flakes from 0.5 mm to 5 mm in diameter. Flakes one centimeter in diameter
Discovery: Mineralized zone discovered in 1989.
Work history: In 1989, —— Geological survey.

Lithology: The host rock is a schistose paragneiss.
Morphology: This graphitic band was observed over a hundred meters in length. These bands are part of a P1 isoclinal system oriented 77° NW. Measured dips range from sub-horizontal to 63 degrees.
Typology: Genesis: successive metamorphism of sedimentary strata containing organic matter during Grenvillian orogenies.
Mineralization: Grade: 12.17% Cg (graphitic carbon) (example T-023) and 11.86 Cg (T-024): surface samples. Drilling samples assayed 9.86% Cg over 46.75 m (drilling 90-44); 10.48% Cg over 5.20 m (drilling 90-43); 12.17% Cg and 11.86% Cg; GM-51068. The graphite is disseminated and is generally found in flakes of 0.5 mm to 5 mm in diameter. Flakes one centimeter in diameter were noted. Visually, the percentage of graphite varies from 12 to 20%.
Mineralized zone located 500 m south of the Petits Lacs Verts (Range VII; Lots 53-54).
Year discovered: 1989
Discovery: Mineralized zone with outcrop discovered in 1989 by geological mapping. Work history: In 1990, Res. Graphicor – Geological survey, sampling, drilling and analysis.

How – lithology: Lithologies: A – Marble; B – Biotite-sillimanite pargneiss.
Minerals: Graphite, biotite, sillimanite, calcite, quartz
Morphology: The shape of the mineralized zone is tabular and conforms to the orientation of the different stratigraphic units, trending East to ESE with slight dips towards the SSW.
Typology: Genesis: Successive metamorphism of sedimentary strata containing organic matter during Grenvillian orogenies.
Mineralization: Grades: Four grab samples from two mineralized discoveries, respectively assayed 20.73% graphitic carbon Cg (example no.42409), 21.25% Cg (example no.42411), 23.0% Cg (sample no.42424) and 15.09% Cg (sample no.42425). A hole (V90-06), drilled 700 m to the WNW, intersected 9.25% Cg over 3.35 m in graphitic rock, sometimes carbonated (marble). High graphite grades (15-20%) are contained in a crystalline marble unit. Grades below 10% Cg were also obtained in other metasedimentary units. Schistous gneiss with biotite and sillimanite revealed grades of the order of 4 to 5% Cg. The graphite is disseminated and comes in the form of flakes whose size varies between 0.5 and 1.5 mm.
