Uncovers Historic Shallow Lithium Results
Infinite Ore Corp. (TSXV:ILI) has uncovered promising drill results from a previous programme completed on its 100% owned Jackpot Lithium Project in Ontario.
While conducting a detailed review of the work completed on Jackpot Lithium project the company discovered multiple previously unreported holes intersecting greater than 1% Li2O
These include holes that were part of a short hole programme to test the near surface lithium content of dykes situated at the core of the mineralised zone. The short holes were drilled to an average depth of approximately 10 m, ranging from 6.0m to 17m.
The shallow intersections measured up to 1.60% L120.
Five other long holes are reported that were collared at the periphery of the core zone, returned substantial lithium mineralisation, and extend the dyke swarm to the north and south.
“The Jackpot property hosts a swarm of lithium-bearing dykes some of which are exposed at surface,” J.C. St-Amour, President of Infinite Ore, said.
“The 2018 drilling programme tested the near surface lithium content of known dykes as well as expanded the extent of the known mineralisation.
“There are many yet untested dykes on the property which would warrant follow-up work. Certainly, these drill results increase our confidence that the Jackpot lithium deposit contains greater lithium resources to that cited in the historical resources.”
The Company’s 100% owned Jackpot project is near the Georgia Lake lithium deposit, for which Rock Tech Lithium Inc. recently announced its intent to develop a lithium sulphate production facility located in Thunder Bay, Ontario. The property contains known pegmatite showings, including two that contain historical resources of 2 million tons at 1.09% Li2O and 750,000 tons at 1.38% Li2O.
