High-Grade Lithium Assays from Channel Sampling
ZURICH, SWITZERLAND / ACCESSWIRE / September 7, 2016 / Today, Stephan Bogner from Rockstone Research published an update on Equitorial Exploration Corp. (TSX.V: EXX). Yesterday, the company disclosed assays from 81 channel samples from 4 lithium-cesium-tantalum pegmatite dyke swarms from its 100% owned Little Nahanni Pegmatite Group (LNPG) Property in Northwest Territories (NWT).
Best assays include 3.1% Li2O across 0.95 m, 2.33% Li2O across 1.2 m, 2.04% Li2O across 4 m and 1.63% Li2O across 5.15 m. The property hosts the rare pegmatite-type LCT (Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum), which the world’s largest active lithium mine, Greenbushes in Australia, is also hosting (at an average grade of 2.8% Li2O). LNPG’s best historic rock samples assayed between 1.74% and 3.77% Li2O.
Therefore, historic grades have been confirmed yesterday, however channel samples are a better indication of mineralization than grab or chip samples. In 2007, channel samples returned up to 1.59% Li2O across 10 m. Drilling in 2007 resulted in 2 lithium-enriched intervals including 1.2% Li2O over almost 11 m and 0.92% Li2O over 18 m.
Equitorial also announced the appointed of Buddy Doyle as new director, a geologist who has earned the distinction of having seen 2 substantial projects from discovery through the decision to mine, especially the Diavik Diamond Deposit. He brings a disciplined, scientific approach to mineral exploration honed in over 28 years’ experience, 23 of them spent in various positions at Rio Tinto PLC and its subsidiaries.
