Cougar Metals NL provides an update on the first pass mapping, soil and rock chip sampling of the Solonopole Lithium Project, Brazil. Cougar's board and management reported the initial staged exploration results which has confirmed the high-grade lithium from grab samples in 6 of the 10 identified outcropping prospects. Additional exploration over the next 3 months will be focussed on defining the trend of the pegmatites to assist in drill targeting. Field Mapping has so far identified a total of 10 small scale historical lithium mines. Two target zones (North and South) each approximately 10km in strike have been identified with clusters of outcropping pegmatites. The pegmatites are located in close proximity to larger surrounding granitic units. Grab sampling has returned high grade lithium results within Amblygonite (a high-grade lithium mineral) pegmatites. A total of 62 grab samples were taken with the top 10 samples returning grades between 1.5% Li2O and 9.29% Li2O. Lower grade Lithium zones have returned high grade Tantalum with one sample returning 3534ppm Ta. 242 soil samples were completed over a 250m area (50m by 50m sample spacing) on each of the 10 prospects to define the regional trend of the soil covered pegmatites. These soil grid have returned anomalies that suggest the prospects potentially join up below surface around the fringe of the larger granite bodies to the east.
