Erin Ventures Announces Additional Piskanja Boron Project Assay Results

Results include 12.98 meters of 33.22% B2O3



Victoria, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Erin Ventures Inc. [TSXV: EV] has received assay results for two additional drill holes (Hole # EV146 and EV147) from its Piskanja boron project in Serbia, with the results meeting management’s expectations. Piskanja is a high-grade boron deposit with a NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource of 5.6 million indicated tonnes (averaging 30.8% B2O3), and 6.2 million inferred tonnes (averaging 28.8% B2O3).

 

Highlights of drill holes EV146 and EV147

Holes 146 and 147 are located in south-western section of a 50x50 meter in-fill drill grid (located in central part of the Piskanja deposit).

 

Hole EV146 intersected a total of 17.23 meters of mineralization averaging 26.23% B2O3, from within two known borate layers and one new mineralized interval, including an intersection of 12.98 meters averaging 33.22% B2O3.

 

Hole EV147 was used for mineralogy, petrology and sedimentology research, and intersected three borate layers totaling 16.1 meters of 20.68% B2O3, including 10.36 meters averaging 29.80% B2O3.

 

The following table shows total mineralized intervals per hole, with the intersected borate layers:

3.     CSA06V  - total Sulphur, Leco method

 

4.     PHY01K – for determination of L.O.I (Loss on Ignition) at approx. 950°C by Gravimetric Analysis

 

  • Location:  Piskanja Project, Baljevac, Serbia

 

  • Sample type:  HQ size diamond core drilling

 

  • Azimuth/dip:  vertical hole, 90 degree dip

 

  • Sample interval is 0.5 metres

 

Erin's Piskanja in-fill drill program

Erin has recently completed an eleven-hole diamond drill program of HQ and larger diameter vertical core drilling, consisting of in-fill drilling on a 50 meter by 50 meter grid over the central part of the Piskanja deposit. This program is designed to raise the confidence level of the mineral resource to "measured". This is a key component in advancing the Piskanja project towards Feasibility.

 

The ongoing work program at Piskanja and Jarandol is designed to ensure that the project complies with both the Canadian Institute of Mining "Best Practice Guidelines" and Serbian mine licensing and mine development regulations, as well as complying with recommendations made by Erin’s geological consulting firm - SRK Exploration Services Ltd.

 

On behalf of the Board of Directors,

About Boron (Source: Critical Raw Materials Alliance, Sept. 2015)

 

  • Boron, the semi-metallic element with atomic number 5, does not occur in nature as free element. It occurs in the form of a natural mineral associated with other elements such as Na, Ca, and Mg.

 

  • Among over 200 naturally occurring boron minerals, the most commercially important borates are: Tincal, Colemanite and Ulexite.

 

  • About 80% of borates placed on the EU market are used in intermediate uses such as in the manufacture of glass & frits and/or for the synthesis of new substances, and in biocidal applications.

 

  • The remaining one-fifth is used in agriculture (13-14%), in articles (4-5%) and in other uses (2-3%) such as coatings, industrial fluids and/or metallurgical applications.

 

  • In addition, boron is an essential micronutrient for normal, productive plant growth and is one of seven essential micronutrients for plants.

 

  • Furthermore, for safety reasons, the use of borates is essential in nuclear power plants.

 

  • Price, (average value of mineral imports at port of exportation, in dollars per ton - 2014): US$630 (Source: USGS Mineral Commodities Summary Feb-2014)
