Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 26, 2024) - Graphano Energy Ltd. (TSXV: GEL) (OTCQB: GELEF) (FSE: 97G0) ("Graphano" or the "Company") is pleased to report that it has staked an additional 20 mining claims on the western side of its existing 100% owned Lac-Aux-Bouleaux ("LAB") project.
Luisa Moreno, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated: "We are pleased to have extended our LAB claims, significantly enhancing our exploration potential in the area. The LAB region, home to an historical graphite mine and adjacent to the operating Lac-des-Iles mine, is the only graphite-producing area in North America. Our exploration results at the LAB project have been very promising, reinforcing our commitment to expanding our footprint in this region."
The new claims more than double the holdings comprising the LAB project. Originally, the LAB claims consisted of 16 units (840.71 Ha). With the addition of 20 new claims (1,187.13 Ha), the total area now encompasses 36 claims over 2,028 Ha (see Figure 1). The stratigraphy and geology are similar to the original LAB project claims and the Lac des Iles mine, but the new claims' area remains largely unexplored.
