Westminster Resources: Assays up to 2.62% Li2O in Channel Sampling on Westminster’s MER Lithium Project
(firmenpresse) - Westminster Resources: Assays up to 2.62% Li2O in Channel Sampling on Westminsters MER Lithium Project
September 15, 2016 - Westminster Resources Ltd. (the Company) is pleased to report that a recent exploration program at the MER property in the Yellowknife Pegmatite Belt has encountered the presence of high-grade lithium- bearing mineralization and identified a total of 15 dyke-like targets from aerial photography. Two spodumene -bearing pegmatite dykes, located 50 metres apart, were sampled during this work program. The spodumene is described as course to very course in size and grey to green in colour.
A total of 5 samples were collected from 2 spodumene-bearing dykes, and a sixth sample from a muscovite-rich pegmatite dyke. Four of these samples comprised a channel sample across a 4.3 metre wide spodumene-mineralized pegmatite dyke. Results of this channel included 1.02%, 2.62% and 2.09% Li2O, each over a one metre interval. The weighted average of the entire channel sample is 1.34% Li2O across 4.3 metres. Two additional grab samples from the two other dykes returned 0.03% Li2O and 1.12% Li2O; spodumene was observed in the latter sample.
Aurora Geosciences Ltd., of Yellowknife NWT, was retained by the Company to conduct the exploration and to examine the property.
Grab and channel samples of the Li2O mineralized dykes were submitted to ALS MINERALS where they were analyzed by four acid digestion and ICP finish (lithium ore analysis).
The MER property is located in the central Yellowknife Pegmatite Belt just north of Highway 4, approximate 40 kilometres northeast of the city of Yellowknife, NWT. The property lies adjacent to the 92 Resources Corp. ground in the Southeast.
Glen Indra, President of Westminster commented: we are pleased that our initial site investigations have confirmed that the high-grade spodumene-bearing dykes of the Yellowknife Pegmatite Belt are present on our ground. We look forward to the results of continued sampling of additional dykes on the property.
The Company continues to advance its Guayacan, Gold, Silver and Copper project in Sonora, Mexico, where it has been successful in expanding and specifically defining priority exploration targets.
