Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 1, 2016) -
International Lithium Corp. (TSXV: ILC.V [url:
https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ilc.v]) (the 'Company' or 'ILC') in
conjunction with strategic partner Pioneer Resources Limited ('Pioneer')
have commenced a 1,500 metre drill program at the Mavis lithium pegmatite
project east of Dryden, Ontario, Canada ('Project').
Key Highlights:
- 1,500 meter drill program commences;
- High grade spodumene Pegmatite 18 area exhibits favourable structural
regime indicating potential for larger pegmatites;
- Magnetometer survey and lithogeochemical sampling program reveal
pegmatite setting and new target areas; and
- Results produce highly anomalous lithium rock-sample area leading to
the discovery of a new pegmatite to be drill tested during this
program.
Mavis Drill Program
The majority of the exploration activities performed this year has been in
preparation for this drill program. A continuous ground magnetometer
walking survey ('Mag Survey') totalling 330 kms has been completed over the
target areas of the Project. The Mag Survey successfully produced a very
detailed magnetic anomaly map outlining geologic contacts, features and
structures thereby providing a valuable tool to aid in the drill targeting
process. In order to refine the targets further, two campaigns of ground
lithogeochemical sampling totalling 372 rock samples were collected from
select locations across the Mavis Project. The rock sample results returned
areas exhibiting highly anomalous values of lithium and associated
elements; key pathfinders employed as a vectoring tool for the discovery of
hidden or buried pegmatites. The anomalous lithogeochemical results
overlain on the Mag Survey have provided the Company with an improved
understanding of the setting of the pegmatites at Mavis; specifically the
preferential horizons and structures that host them.
One of the main target areas that will be drilled during this program is
host to the high-grade spodumene bearing Pegmatite 18, the most
northeastern observed pegmatite and virtually untested by drilling to date.
Previous field reconnaissance at Pegmatite 18 confirmed the observable
