Highlights:
- The Company has completed a 3-week visit. 287 rock samples were collected and submitted for laboratory analysis.
- The lithium-cesium-tantalum ("LCT") pegmatite trend on the property has increased to a potential strike length of >25 km that is open at both ends.
- A new highly evolved LCT swarm, "Bingo", has been identified that is over ~2 km in length that includes 2 large pegmatites that outcrop 600 and 450 metres in length, respectively, and are up to 75 metres in width. If connected, they would form a single large dyke over ~1.2 km in length.
- Bingo is highly evolved with excellent geochemical (low K/Rb and Nb/Ta ratios) and mineralogical (spessartine garnets, blue-green apatite, lithium amphiboles) indicators for a potential spodumene‑bearing system.
- Usage of a LIBS (laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy) analyzer on samples indicated lithium values within Bingo up to ~6,000 ppm (~1.3% Li2O) and ~3,000 ppm (~0.65% Li2O) within the host rock. A LIBS analyzer is a portable device that provides semi-quantitative assessments of geochemical concentrations in real-time. These readings should not be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analyses where concentrations or grades are the factor of principal economic interest. LIBS readings are not representative of the whole core and represent purely a concentration measured at a single point.
- The Company is also pleased to announce that it has expanded the basal sand and conglomerate zone at its Jackpot Lake Project to a depth of approximately 1,950 feet through drilling, increasing the previously identified zone from an interval of 273 feet to a total of 423 feet. The Company is now working towards completing and developing a well for sampling.
