Tantalex drills up to 1.01% Li2O at Manono

TANTALEX LITHIUM RESOURCES REPORTS UP TO 1,02% LI20 FROM IT'S INFILL DRILLING ON MANONO TAILINGS K DUMP

Tantalex Lithium Resources Corp. has received assay results to date from its 2,117-metre infill drilling program on the K dump that returned consistent high-grade lithium oxide results with all drill holes returning Li2O intercepts between 0.565 per cent and 1.018 per cent Li2O from surface over an entire length of drill holes.

Manono tailings -- K dump intercepts

Further to assay results received on its maiden 10,000-metre drill program, an additional drill program was conducted in second quarter 2022 targeting the K and G dumps. On the K dump, a total of 2,117 metres from 156 aircore drill holes were completed on nominal 50-metre centres to define a measured category for the mineral resource estimate currently under way.

Drill holes were sampled at one-metre intervals with three-metre composite samples submitted to SGS Lab, Randfontein RSA, for multielement assay by GE-IMS90A50 method.

To date, results from 382 out of a total of 836 submitted samples from 36 of the 156 drill holes have been received.

The K dump is composed of two different sections: (1) a steeply stacked section to the northeast that varies from 47 m to 21 m thick with an average thickness of 38 m; and (2) a gently domed 500-metre-by-600-metre terrace section with an average thickness of 11 m with depths generally 15 m to 20 m in the centre shallowing to three to five m at the edges.

From the assays returned to date, 24 holes were drilled to more than 15 metres. All 24 holes deeper than 15 m returned mineralization from the surface (see the attached table). The 17 holes in the stacked material have a global average of 0.625 per cent LiO2. The seven holes in the terrace have a global average of 0.928 per cent LiO2.

From the volume estimation report that Tantalex conducted in fourth quarter 2021, the estimated total volume of the K dump is 3,512,532 cubic metres. With an approximate density of 1.5 grams per cubic centimetre, this represents a total estimated volume of 5,268,797 metric tonnes.

"These results are highly encouraging as they demonstrate that the K dump is well mineralized laterally and vertically, and confirms our efforts to define a measured resource in this area," said Eric Allard, chief executive officer of Tantalex. "Our additional assay results on the K and G dump, as well as our final report on preliminary metallurgical testing, are also expected any time now. Our maiden mineral resource estimate for the Manono tailings is progressing well, and we continue targeting its completion before the end of September."
