As drilling progresses north, significant REE mineralization continues to be intersected at surface down to considerable depths.
Highlights are as follows:
- Drill Hole EC11-084: 325.31 m of 1.96% Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO)
- Including 52.25 m of 2.26% TREO
- Drill Hole EC11-085: 144.52 m of 1.94% TREO
- Including 90.38 m of 2.21% TREO
- Drill Hole EC11-083: 88.68 m of 2.14% TREO
- Drill Hole EC11-086: 80.56 m of 2.14% TREO
Middle and Heavy Rare Earth Element Enrichment
The Middle and Heavy Rare Earth Oxide ("MHREO") zone at Ashram has expanded significantly with the results from the 2011 summer/fall drill program and now has a surface footprint of approximately 175 m along strike, 200 m in width, and to a depth of 175 m, with considerable room for expansion remaining.
Middle and heavy rare earth enrichment remains consistent throughout the deposit with the main enriched zone still present in EC11-083, 084, and 085 as small zones averaging ~10% MHREO grading in and out down hole. Peak values greater than 20% MHREO continue to be returned including one sample with 410 ppm dysprosium and 201 ppm europium at a TREO of 1.86%.
