Standard Graphite Discovers New Graphite Trend on Little-Bryan Property
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/11/12 -- Standard Graphite Corp. (TSX VENTURE: SGH) (the "Company") is pleased to update its shareholders on the exploration progress on the Little-Bryan property in Ontario. The ground prospecting and geological reconnaissance program resulted in the discovery of a new graphite horizon lying approximately one (1) kilometre to the north of the original trend, coincident with the North electromagnetic (EM) trend outlined by the airborne geophysical survey.
During the months of April and May 2012, Standard mandated MPH Consulting Ltd. of Toronto, Ontario to conduct a preliminary prospecting and geological reconnaissance program over its Ontario properties, Black Donald and Little-Bryan. The objective was to sample and evaluate the known graphite occurrences, as well as locating outcrops along the conductive trends highlighted during the property-scale airborne geophysical surveys completed in January of 2012.
The program was successful with the field team being able to locate and sample the historical trenches on the Little-Bryan property along the South conductor, and to trace its extent approximately three (3) kilometres past the existing work towards the west. The most important highlight of the program came with the confirmation that the newly discovered North conductor is similar to the South conductor, with both being caused by a graphite-bearing sequence of rusty gneisses and minor calcsilicates.
A total of 33 representative reconnaissance samples were collected from outcrops, including 13 from the North and 19 from the South conductors. The following map highlights the results from the first phase ground exploration program on Little-Bryan:

Chris Bogart, President and CEO, comments: "This new discovery at Little-Bryan confirms that we have selected the optimal approach to our exploration. The airborne TDEM survey proved its great effectiveness at tracing known mineralization and outlining new targets. With only 13 samples collected on the new North trend thus far, this leaves ample room along the five (5) kilometre trend for a potential high-grade discovery, while the South trend delivered some outstanding results with grades up to 9.81% Cg."
The Little-Bryan property is located some 140 kilometres from Ottawa in Renfrew County, and consists of 15 claims covering approximately 2800 hectares.
