Gratomic Inc. (TSX-V:GRAT, OTCQX:CBULF) has unveiled the latest findings from the third trenching program, comprising 19 samples, at its Capim Grosso project in Brazil, which aimed to further explore a second graphite deposit at the property.
The program will continue with 15 more trenches to determine targets for a second diamond drilling program, earmarked to start this Fall.
The firm said 14 additional trenches have been completed to date which sit around 400 metres (m) south-east and sub-parallel to the main deposit.
"The recent trenching reveals discontinuous graphite intersections over a 1,750-metre length with graphite observed in six (6) of the 14 trenches, bringing the total to 10 trenches hosting graphite along this new trend (four were confirmed in the previous trenching program)," Gratomic said in the statement.

"The confirmation of the second discontinuous body of graphite opens the door to new investigations in the area with increased potential to discover new mineralized areas near the main and secondary ones," it added.
Arno Brand, CEO of Gratomic, said: "Our Brazilian team continues to impress with their knowledge and expertise, I look forward to seeing what the next 15 trenches bring to the table."
Gratomic is focused on becoming a leading global graphite supplier with projects in Namibia, Brazil, and Canada.
