North Arrow Minerals Inc. (TSXV: NAR) has reported prospecting results from the MK1 spodumene pegmatite, within North Arrow’s recently acquired 100% owned MacKay Lithium Project, Northwest Territories.
The property is located immediately adjacent to the winter road, connecting the city of Yellowknife with the Lac de Gras diamond mines.
Ken Armstrong, president, and CEO of North Arrow, stated, “We are pleased to confirm that significant lithium grades are at least locally present in the MK1 spodumene pegmatite at North Arrow’s MacKay Lithium Project. MK1 is an important addition to our lithium exploration portfolio, located within in the same geological setting as spodumene pegmatites on North Arrow’s LDG lithium property, approximately 20km to the north, where an exploration drill programme is scheduled to start later this month,”
“North Arrow is requesting permission to include MK1 under the existing LDG land use permit and, if granted in time, it could be included as part of the drilling programme.”
Four grab samples, ranging in weight from 0.45kg to 2.06kg, have returned 2.45%, 2.51%, 2.76%, and 3.74% Li2O. The samples were collected in June 2023 during initial prospecting of the property.
The samples contained visual spodumene crystals ranging from 2cm to 4cm in length and were collected at four locations over a 120m strike length of the pegmatite.
Additionally, sample preparation and analytical work were carried out by ALS Global. Samples were prepared using ALS method CRU31 (crushing to 70% passing through a 2 mm screen), SPL-21 (riffle split of 250g), and PUL-31 (pulverize up to 85% passing through a 75-micron screen).
