Ceylon Graphite: M1 Site “New” Vein one of the largest in Sri Lanka
VANCOUVER, June 03, 2019 - Ceylon Graphite Corp. (“Ceylon Graphite Corp.”) (TSX-V: CYL) (OTC: CYLYF) (FSE: CCY) today announced that further to its report on the 14th of May 2019, the needle type crystalline graphite vein it discovered 10 feet downhole at its M1 site in the Malsiripura area in Sri Lanka has increased 2x in size with depth (shown below at 20/25ft). The discovery of the widest graphite vein found to date was made in the course of driving a new ventilation shaft at the M1 site and has continued to grow in width as the digging progresses deeper into the rock.

Such a discovery clearly shows the robust exploration potential of the M1 site. No such modern exploration has occurred in one of the worlds best crystalline graphite jurisdictions. The pictures above show the size of the vein.This vein is in the southern section of the GRID.
“The size of this vein is larger than anything we have seen below the surface – it is 'Epic' by any standards. We are delighted at the continued growth in the size of the vein,” said Bharat Parashar, Chief Executive Officer. “The M1 site continues to provide fantastic results and will likely be one of the largest graphite finds in Sri Lanka. Ceylon Graphite Corp. is looking good to soon start commercial graphite production.”
