Terra Cognita
First Graphite Moves into Quebec, BC and Saskatchewan
By Greg Klein

It’s often said that closeology ain’t necessarily geology. But First Graphite’s TSXV:FGR Henry Project in north-central Saskatchewan could lay claim to both. It’s about eight kilometres from Noble Bay Mining’s Deep Bay Graphite Project and 20 from Strike Graphite’s TSXV:SRK flagship Deep Bay East. As for Henry’s geology, it was a curse back in the day when graphite was considered waste rock. The stuff was unavoidable.

“Henry had work done on it in the 1950s, 1970s and 1980s,” says First Graphite VP Corporate Development Andrew Mugridge. “There were 20 holes drilled on it historically. At the time, they were looking for base metals, and the 20 holes were picked to actually avoid graphite at all costs. But they found 30 metres of obvious graphite content. At that point, they decided to cease work on the area.”
