International Lithium Corp. and Pioneer Resources Increase Claims and Mobilize Crews to the Mavis and Raleigh Lithium Pegmatite Projects, Ontario, Canada - Seite 2
comprise a follow-up 400 lithogeochemical sampling program to refine drill
targeting in areas identified as high priority.
Along strike and to the west of the high-grade spodumene pegmatites near
the western edge of the Mavis project boundary, 3 claims totalling 640
hectares have been contiguously staked. The new project area, referred to
as Mavis West, is known from historical work to host pegmatites that are
situated on trend of the Fairservice Group of high-grade spodumene
pegmatites near the western boundary of the Company's Mavis Project. The
Mavis West claims will form part of the existing Mavis Project and be
incorporated into the associated option agreement with Pioneer.
The current exploration program at Mavis West comprising a 58 km ground
magnetic survey and a 100 lithogeochemical sampling program is designed to
define the continuation of the prime pegmatite corridor and continue to
delineate the target lithology that hosts lithium bearing pegmatites.
Following completion of the exploration program at Mavis the field crews
will move to the Raleigh project. The exploration program at Raleigh will
comprise a 500 lithogeochemical sampling program to refine drill targets in
high priority areas and a comprehensive airborne magnetic survey across the
entire Project to delineate the target lithology and assist with drill
placement.
About the Mavis and Raleigh Lithium Pegmatite Projects
The Mavis and Raleigh Lithium Projects are situated 19 and 80 kilometres
east respectively from the town of Dryden, Ontario. Both Projects are in
close vicinity to the Trans-Canada highway and railway major transportation
arteries linking larger cities such as Thunder Bay, Ontario, to the
southeast and Winnipeg, Manitoba, to the west.
When rare-metal pegmatites are emplaced, the host rocks adjacent to the
pegmatite may be enriched by the associated fluids forming a rare-metals'
dispersion halo around the pegmatite body. Normally the extent of the
rare-metal alteration halo is within a few meters of the pegmatite.
Whereas, the pegmatite belts at Mavis and Raleigh exhibit alteration halos
on the order of tens of metres wide, representing some of the broadest and
strongest host-rock lithium anomalies observed around the world and
denoting an intense mineralizing system.
Previous exploration programs on the Projects successfully discovered
spodumene bearing high-grade Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum ('LCT') pegmatites
within these anomalous bands (see Company news releases March 14, March 23,
