Geology & setting
The NQC Graphite Project is located approximately 55 km northwest of Saint-Michel-des-Saints, Quebec, within the Morin Terrane of the Grenville Province. The geological setting is dominated by paragneiss and calc-silicate rocks — the same lithological environment that hosts the adjacent Matawinie Graphite Mine, one of the most significant crystalline flake graphite deposits in North America.
The property comprises 11 mineral claims covering 423 hectares. The evaluation combined a comprehensive desktop compilation of historical data from the area formerly known as "Block I" of the Matawinie Project with advanced AI prospectivity modelling, confirming that the project area is highly prospective for graphite mineralisation.
Mineralisation occurs in fold structures — a nose and limb geometry — which may host wider, coalescing bands of graphite capable of providing the volume required for an economic deposit. The structural setting is analogous to the host geometry at the Matawinie Mine.
Key mineralisation highlights
High-grade surface samples up to 13.7% Cg
Historical surface grab samples returned up to 13.7% graphitic carbon (sample 1053934), with channel samples returning up to 8.44% Cg over 2.3 metres — confirming robust near-surface mineralisation along the trend.
5 km high-confidence prospectivity trend
The AI Mineral Prospectivity Mapping exercise identified a high-confidence prospectivity score of 0.68 along a 5 km trend on the northern limb of a structural fold — the primary exploration target.
Strong TDEM geophysical correlation
2012 airborne TDEM surveys show strong spatial correlation between conductivity anomalies and graphite mineralisation, confirming graphite as the primary source of electromagnetic signatures rather than sulphides alone.
AI prospectivity modelling & recommended work
Model output
Prospectivity score of 0.68 — regional AI model integrating lithology, structure, and geochemistry confirmed the 5 km northern fold limb as a high-priority exploration zone, upgrading the property from secondary to high-priority status.
Phase 1 — next step
Field reconnaissance & in-fill trenching along the northern fold flank, specifically targeting the untested TDEM conductivity anomaly between historical trenches TR5 and TR6. Concurrent structural mapping to define fold architecture.
Phase 2 — contingent
Shallow drilling program to evaluate the depth and vertical extension of the graphite mineralisation, contingent on positive trenching results.
