Winsome Resources (ASX: WR1) has announced the maiden mineral resource estimate (MRE) for its 100%-owned Adina Lithium Project in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec, Canada.
Winsome Resources’ maiden MRE for its wholly-owned Adina Lithium Project is 59Mt at 1.12% Li2O, classified in the inferred category. Corresponding to a contained tonnage of 1.62Mt lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE), this MRE is based on more than 27,600m of drilling with assays taken from an approximate spacing of 100m x 100m.
“Just over a year ago, our first sampling expedition began at Adina, and it is a remarkable achievement by our exploration team to have since declared one of the largest hard rock MREs in North America,” commented Winsome’s managing director, Chris Evans.
“We are excited at the prospect of updating this resource again in the first half of 2024, with assays to be received from over 25,000m of drilling to be completed prior to year-end.”
Assay results are pending from over 25,000m of additional infill and extensional drilling to the end of 2023, with five drill rigs currently on site at Adina. Data from these assays is anticipated to be received in early 2024 and will be used to upgrade the maiden mineral resource during H1 2024.
A total strike length of 3.1km of lithium mineralization in spodumene-bearing pegmatites has been defined at the Adina Lithium Project to date, across two primary zones – the Main Zone and the Footwall Zone.
The resource and geological modelling have outlined significant potential for growth at Adina Main and Footwall Zones, which remain open to the east and west along strike, up-dip to the north, and at depth.
Current drilling programmes are testing potential extensions to this mineralization to the east where drilling recently confirmed a link between Adina Main and Adina East2, to the west, and to the north where the Footwall Zone remains open up-dip.
