These newly reported holes intersected lithium-mineralized zones with intervals exceeding 1,000 ppm and grades up to 1,300 ppm. Results have now been received and reported for the 11 Phase 1 drill holes, with a lithium-mineralized interval intersected in each hole. These results represent a significant milestone for Tearlach and the development of the
Assay Highlights
Longest intercept of lithium mineralization for the three (3) newly reported holes is 115.9 feet (35.3m): Hole GAB-013, Highest primary intercept grade is 729 ppm Li over 47.7 feet (14.5m): Hole GAB-019,
Highest grade for an 'Included intercept' is 879 ppm lithium over 27.6 feet (8.4m), including 1,100 ppm: Hole GAB-019, The highest value for the reported three (3) holes is 1,300 ppm lithium GAB-013,
Expands Tearlach drilled mineralization to the northwest, northeast and southeast.
Phase 1 Program Highlights - 11 Holes: Lithium mineralization, at a 400 ppm cut-off grade, has been intersected in all holes.
Longest primary intercept of lithium mineralization is 146.6 feet (44.7m) - GAB-009, Highest primary intercept grade is 802 ppm over 61 feet (18.6m) - GAB-018, Highest grade for an 'Included intercept' is 1,196 ppm over 33.3 feet (10.2m) - GAB-012, Geological continuity of targeted stratigraphy in all drill holes, The latest Phase 1 drill holes expand the general area of known mineralization to 8,530 feet (2.6 km) by 9,190 feet (2.8 km).
Comparison with Previous Results: Each GAB twin core hole drilled in the Phase 1 Program returned intercept values higher (range of 36 - 85%) than the corresponding
A total of 603 TN22 drill hole pulps have been collected and submitted for lithium re-assay.
The Gabriel Phase 1 drill plan was an outstanding success and marks a significant milestone for exploration of the Gabriel property, with all holes intersecting an interval of lithium mineralization, and many individual samples assaying > 1,000 ppm lithium. Additionally, each GAB twin core hole drilled in the Phase 1 Program returned intercept values higher than the corresponding
Technical Information: Primary intercept grades range between 535 to 802 ppm and interval lengths between 27.1 (8.4m) to 146.6 feet (44.7m). The Phase 1 program holes have been drilled within a general area of 8,530 feet (2.6 km) by 9,190 feet (2.8 km). Lithium mineralization has consistently been intersected in the lower portion of the Siebert Formation. A second zone of mineralization has also been intersected in some holes, present in the upper portion of the Siebert. The lithium mineralization is hosted in a claystone-siltstone-sandstone-conglomerate sedimentary sequence. Faults, with a normal sense of offset, have been mapped on the Gabriel surface. Fault-broken zones, gouge and cataclasites have also been logged in the core. The location and orientation of these structures will be assessed during the upcoming three-dimensional (3D) geologic modeling project. The three (3) holes reported here each step-out from the original BRS drilling and expand the Tearlach-defined lithium mineralization footprint to the northwest, northeast, and southeast. The core box photos below display the lithology and corresponding lithium grades for the three (3) drill holes reported here, with each hole represented by one core box.
