STRIKE IDENTIFIES NEW 2 KM LONG CONDUCTOR AT DEEP BAY EAST GRAPHITE PROJECT NE SASK
Strike Graphite Corp. (TSXv: SRK)
completed the previously announced helicopter-borne VTEM – Electromagnetic Survey of its Deep Bay East Graphite property located within north eastern Saskatchewan.
Preliminary data from the VTEM survey has highlighted a strong conductive horizon associated with the known graphite mineralization at Deep Bay East, and extending well beyond the known limits of the historic mineralization. Based upon the preliminary survey data, the historic conductor was confirmed at approximately 2.5 km strike length. A second conductor, approximately 2 km in length, was identified. Based on its orientation and regional mapping, the new conductor likely represents a structural repetition (folding) of the mineralized Deep Bay East horizon, and thus represents a high-priority exploration target.
Historic exploration of the Deep Bay East Property, confirmed potential for near surface, large flake, high-purity graphite deposit(s) as a result of surface trenching, mapping, and EM Ground Survey(s) and four diamond drill holes over a 1,600 metre east – northeast tending conductor. This highly conductive zone, first identified in the 1970’s, was confirmed by the recent VTEM survey. Some of the historic results include:
DB-1: 22.9 metres averaging 4.02% C beginning at a depth of only 10.7 metres;
DB-2: 35.1 metre interval of 8.58% C
DB-3: 13.1 metres averaging 8.97% C at depth of 7.32 metres and 9.06% C from 60.96 metres to 71.63 metres (10.67 m).
Approximately 15 kilometres to the west of the Deep Bay East property, the Deep Bay Graphite Mine is currently being advanced toward production. The geology and grades of the Deep Bay East Project appear similar to the Deep Bay mine's deposit.

Bralorne Gold Drilling Intersects 5.14 g/t Gold Over 5.2 Metres on BK-3 Zone
is pleased to provide the following update of diamond drilling activities at its Bralorne mine operation located near Gold Bridge, British Columbia.
In 2011, 30 holes were drilled from surface (5,153 meters) and 4 holes were drilled underground (821 meters).
The widest intercept was on the upper part of the BK-3 zone in drill hole SB11-28, which averaged 5.14 grams per tonne gold over 5.2 meters (2.7 meters true width) or 0.15 ounce per ton gold over 17.1 feet (8.8 feet true width).
The highest grade result was 1,764 grams per tonne gold over 0.9 meters (re-assay of original 800.6 grams per tonne) or 51.5 ounces per ton gold over 3.1 feet (original 23.35 ounce gold per ton assay) in drill hole SB11-21 (as previously announced). This is a new find. The cored interval consists of a fault zone of quartz fragments with coarse visible gold. Holes 25 and 27 were drilled to follow-up this intercept and intersected the vein but assays were not significant. Visible gold was noted in two other holes, of which the intercept in Hole 23 is another new find. Assay results for the last two holes are pending.
About the company
Bralorne Gold Mines Ltd. has acquired all the claims of the Bralorne, King and Pioneer mines plus surrounding new ground. These holdings represent the first time in history that all three operations and important additional claims have been held by one company.
