Quality Control:
The samples were selected by the PALN geologic team, and transported to
The 57 samples were analyzed to obtain duplicate assay results according to the following procedures:
A 200-gram split of the coarse rejects were crushed by the original assay laboratory and returned to the PALN explorationists. The coarse rejects were then transported to the second lab for re-assay.
The duplicate assaying was conducted by an ALS Geochemistry facility located in
Reno, NV. This facility holds an ISO 17025 certification.The crushed split was submitted to the 2nd laboratory for analysis according to the following procedures:
Pulverized the submitted crushed sample to 85% passing 75 microns grain size.
Split a 0.25-gram sample of the pulverized material for analysis.
Digested the pulp split by four (4) acids with an ICP finish, which slightly varied from the original laboratory method.
Also analyzed the samples for boron (B) content using an Aqua Regia digestion with ICP-AES finish.
The PALN geologists inserted five (5) lithium certified reference pulps, plus blank value pulps (also 5 samples) into the pulp sample set.
This duplicate assay process was overseen by two (2) PALN geologists who are Qualified Persons according to NI 43-101.
Re-assay Results:
The comparison of the duplicate assays to the original assays indicates the following:
All duplicate assays are higher than the original assays.
The duplicate assays, on average, are 28% higher than the original assays.
Individual duplicate assays are higher than the corresponding original assays over a range of +12.6% to 62%.
Thirteen (13) of the duplicate assays have reported values greater than 900 ppm, of which three (3) assays are greater than 1,000 ppm.
The certified reference lithium samples inserted into the duplicate sample stream yielded acceptable values.
Blank samples inserted into the check sample stream yielded extremely low to nil lithium values.
A strict chain of custody was maintained during the duplicate assay program.
The results from the duplicate assay program indicates potential additional opportunity for exploring the Gabriel Lithium Property. The PALN technical team intends to conduct exploration activities in a manner such that highly representative samples are collected, and that the samples are analyzed by the most precise and accurate methods.
