121 0 Kommentare Azimut and SOQUEM Cut Thick Spodumene Pegmatites at Galinée, James Bay Region, Quebec - Seite 2

8 metres (from 130.3 m to 138.3 m): pegmatite with 20% to 25% spodumene. Hole GAL24-025: 92.1 metres (from 207.9 m to 300 m): pegmatite with 15% to 30% spodumene; coarse to giant spodumene crystals reaching up to 1.65 metres; two amphibolite intercalations totalling 4.6 m are also present within this interval.
56.55 metres (from 317.45 m to 374 m): pegmatite with 10% to 30% coarse spodumene; three amphibolite intercalations totalling 4.8 m are also present within this interval.

The lithium content of the spodumene mineralization can only be accurately determined by assay analysis. The true widths of the drill intervals are undetermined at this stage. Holes GAL24-019A, -021, -024 and -026 display weak or no mineralization. Hole 24-019 was abandoned due to drilling difficulties.

Material Progress for the Galinée Discovery

Visual observations from the ongoing drilling program confirm a sizeable mineralized system at Galinée and better define the geometry of the mineralized zone:

Currently, the lithium zone has a strike length of 700 metres and trends roughly east-west. It remains largely open on the Property to the east and south. The variability in thickness and grade is as expected for these types of pegmatitic bodies. The discovery at Galinée likely represents the southern extension of the Adina deposit on the adjacent Adina project belonging to Winsome Resources Ltd (see Figure 2).
At Galinée, initial drilling data indicate a generally shallow dip to the south from subhorizontal to 15 degrees. Additional intercepts from the current program reveal that some pegmatite bodies may dip to the north, suggesting that the pegmatite system consists of coalescing branches with variable dips. At least one of the north-dipping branches has been intersected at shallow depth, as shown by the wide spodumene intercept cut at a vertical depth of 70 metres in hole GAL24-020 (see Figure 5).
The 166.1-metre envelope (from 207.9 m to 374 m) in hole GAL24-025 contains two wide spodumene pegmatites with a cumulative thickness of 148.65 metres (see Figure 3), possibly representing the spatial convergence of the Adina Main and Footwall zones:
- First pegmatite: 92.1 metres thick (from 207.9 m to 300 m), including two narrow amphibolite intervals totalling 4.6 metres. The upper part of this intercept (over 26.1 m) may correspond to a north-dipping branch coalescing with the south-dipping main body.
- Second pegmatite: 56.55 metres thick (from 317.45 m to 374 m), interpreted as a subhorizontal body, with three narrow amphibolite intervals totalling 4.8 metres.
