North Arrow Minerals Inc. (TSXV: NAR) has initiated a field programme intended to evaluate spodumene pegmatites within the company’s 100% owned LDG property, Northwest Territories.
Ken Armstrong, president, and CEO of North Arrow, commented, “This programme represents an important, low-cost initiative by North Arrow to add to our growing portfolio of hard rock lithium projects in Canada’s north. The area of interest lies within our 100% owned LDG project, between MacKay Lake and Lac de Gras, immediately along the current alignment of the winter road that services the Diavik and Ekati mines.”
Field crews have been mobilized to evaluate spodumene-bearing muscovite-tourmaline pegmatites that were initially reported by geological survey of Canada mappers in the 1940’s.
Follow up work by Geolex Exploration in the mid 1950’s identified a series of spodumene pegmatites in the area, including one pegmatite occurrence described as approximately 600m in length and up to 30m wide.
A second occurrence has been reported as approximately 1,000m long and averaging 15m in width. This programme represents North Arrow’s first opportunity to confirm the historic reports of spodumene pegmatites within the LDG property.
Mr. Armstrong continued, “The company intend to prospect, map, and sample identified pegmatites in the area of interest, making use of existing LIDAR, geophysics, and satellite imagery data,”
“If confirmed, the logistics of evaluating these spodumene pegmatites will be greatly aided by their location along the Lac de Gras winter road and by the fact the LDG project has an exploration camp and drilling permit in place.”
