GRAPHITE PROJECTS
UGUKTOK FIORD GRAPHITE
-
Production/Reserves: 20 tonnes of graphite (Carr, 1958)
-
The deposit is consisted of 30 cm to 90 cm thick lens of coarse flake- to finely crystalline-graphite occurs within a mylonitic quartz - feldspar - garnet gneiss and is parallel to the gneissic foliation and remarkably free of impurities over the present 8 m long exposure (Meyer and Dean, 1988).
-
About 40 to 50 tons of graphite are directly indicated as outcrop, and about 10 tons as loose fragments along the base of the hillside (Douglas, 1953)
MOOSE HEAD GRAPHITE
Graphitic bands up to 3 m (10 ft.) wide are present in the feldspar-quartz-biotite gneiss (Attikamagen Formation) southwest of Moose Head Lake. The graphite occurs as disseminated flakes to a solid seam up to 5 cm (2 in.) thick (Boyko, 1953)
