Four grab samples, ranging in weight from 0.45 kg to 2.06 kg, have returned 2.45%, 2.51%, 2.76% and 3.74% Li2O. The samples were collected in
Follow up mapping of the pegmatite was completed in mid-July and indicates that MK1 consists of a series of irregular sub-parallel pegmatite dykes ranging from 0.5m to >10m wide over a combined width of up to 150m and traced over an interpreted strike extent of greater than 400m. Interpretations are based on low relief bedrock exposures, with significant overburden coverage providing scope for expanding the pegmatite along strike. Rock sawn channel samples have now been collected from MK1 and submitted to ALS Global in
Sample preparation and analytical work reported herein were carried out by ALS Global. Samples were prepared using ALS method CRU31 (crushing to 70% passing through a 2 mm screen), SPL-21 (riffle split of 250g), and PUL-31 (pulverize up to 85% passing through a 75-micron screen). A 0.2g subsample of the pulverized material was analyzed for 52 elements using a sodium peroxide fusion by ICP-MS using ALS method ME-MS89L. Samples returning >500ppm Li were also assayed using a 0.2g subsample dissolved in a sodium peroxide solution and analyzed for lithium according to ALS method Li-ICP81. Lithium results are reported by the lab as % Li and have been multiplied by 2.153 to convert to % Li2O. Results passed QA/QC screening at ALS. No standards or blanks were included in the sample batch by the Company.
