Beyond lithium provides 2024 exploration program update for Cosgrave, Ear Falls and Victory

Summary:

  • The 2024 exploration program commenced in April;
  • Collected 380 grab samples in the 2024 exploration program from the four primary projects with 25 per cent of samples pending assays:
    • Cosgrave project;
    • Ear Falls spodumene project;
    • Victory spodumene project;
    • Wisa project;
  • Completed biogeochemical surveys at the Ear Falls (assays pending) and the Victory (assays received) projects;
  • Received final XRD and TIMA report for the Ear Falls spodumene samples and started XRD analysis for the Cosgrave project;
  • Channel sampled pegmatites at the Cosgrave project (assays received) and the Ear Falls' Sandy Creek Beryl West zone (assays pending).

Ear Falls spodumene project

Ear Falls spodumene project confirms spodumene as the dominant lithium-bearing mineral and over 96 per cent spodumene liberation and expanded the Wenasaga North zone:

  • Initial mineralogical work completed at the Wenasaga North zone's spodumene-bearing pegmatites established a baseline of the characterization of the lithium pegmatite at Ear Falls:
    • XRD (X-ray diffraction) study for modal mineralogy confirming the main mineralogy of the spodumene-bearing pegmatites are quartz, feldspar (albite, microcline), muscovite and spodumene with accessory minerals (total less than 2 per cent) include chlorite, beryl, fluorapatite, biotite;
    • TIMA (quantitative evaluation of materials by scanning electron microscopy) study outlines over 96 per cent spodumene liberation;
    • This baseline study provides a fundamental viability of recovering or extracting spodumene at Ear Falls;
  • 2024 field program extends and widens the trend of the Wenasaga North zone:
    • Outlined obvious area for infill sampling program and biogeochemical survey to follow up;
  • Completed a trial biogeochemical survey (assays pending) at the Wenasaga North zone that can potentially be another exploration tool to uncover buried lithium mineralized pegmatites.

Cosgrave project

Cosgrave project confirms lithium mineralization with channel samples assayed up to 0.62 per cent Li2O (lithium oxide) over one m within a wider interval of 0.23 per cent Li2O over 6.90 m:

  • Channel sampled a seven-metre-wide pegmatite:
    • Further stripping may widen the true width of the pegmatite;
    • Returned with 0.23 per cent Li2O and 235 ppm cesium (Cs) over 6.90 m:
      • Including 0.38 per cent Li2O and 272 ppm Cs over 3.10 m;
      • And 0.62 per cent Li2O and 227 ppm Cs over one m:
        • Channel samples are more representative samples than grab samples for analysing pegmatites as channel sampling is a continuous sampling method to examine the outcrop entirely with less selective sampling bias;
  • Highly fractionated pegmatite with an average K/Rb (potassium/rubidium) ratio of 15 across the pegmatite:
    • Generally, pegmatites with the highest degree of fractionation have a K/Rb ratio of less than 30 (Breaks, 2004);
  • Pegmatite is hosted in metasediment and is composed of feldspar, quartz, muscovite and alluaudite similar to the Tanco mine's mineralization (Cerny, 1996);
  • XRD work in progress to identify the lithium mineral associated with the lithium mineralization from the highly fractionated pegmatite.

Victory spodumene project

Victory spodumene project identifies key indicators for exploring lithium mineralization:

  • Lidar survey delineated a larger footprint of the Last Resort and the Bounty Gold spodumene-bearing pegmatites;
  • Identified key and indicator minerals for pegmatites associated with lithium mineralization to narrow down exploration priority targets:
    • Quartz (quartz core), feldspar, muscovite, beryl, garnet and tourmaline;
    • Distinguished two generations of pegmatites in the area to optimize exploration in the field;
  • Identified a larger footprint of the Medicine Lake pluton based on field mapping, lidar survey and airborne magnetic survey:
    • The Medicine Lake pluton is interpretated as the fluid source of the pegmatites and the lithium mineralization in the area;
  • Biogeochemical tree bark survey shows promising results as an efficient exploration tool to explore for buried lithium mineralization.

Quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC)

All collected rock samples were put in sturdy plastic bags, tagged and sealed at site. Sample bags were then put in rice bags and kept securely before being sent by road transport or delivered by the crew supervisor to SGS's preparation facility in Red Lake or Sudbury, Ont., for sample preparation. Pulps were analyzed at the SGS facility in Burnaby, B.C. All samples were analyzed with four-acid digestion/combined ICP-AES/MS package (49 elements). Samples with lithium overlimit (over 10,000 parts per million (ppm) lithium (Li)) are analyzed with another four-acid digestion with higher detection limit of up to 10 per cent Li. Batches of samples with overlimit over 10,000 ppm or 1 per cent Li were analyzed with sodium peroxide fusion for validation. The QA/QC protocol included the insertion and monitoring of appropriate reference materials, in this case high-concentration and low-concentration certified OREAS and CDN lithium standards to validate the accuracy and precision of the assay results.

All tree bark samples were collected from spruce trees of roughly the same size to standardize sample collection. Tree bark was collected using the plastic drywall scraper to scrape the dry outer bark off the trunk of the tree and using the dustpan to catch the bark fragments. Each sample is collected to fill a brown kraft soil sample bag; ideally 100 grams of bark would be collected per each sample. Samples were prepared at the SGS's preparation facility in Red Lake, Ont., for sample preparation. Pulps are analyzed at the SGS facility in Burnaby, B.C. All samples were analyzed with four-acid digestion/combined ICP-AES/MS package (49 elements).

Qualified person and third party data

The scientific and technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Lawrence Tsang, PGeo, vice-president of exploration of the company. Mr. Tsang is a qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101 (Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects).
