Hard-rock lithium explorer and developer Winsome Resources Limited (ASX: WR1) has obtained promising final results for the 2022 winter drill programme at the Cancet project in Quebec, Canada.
Managing Director, Chris Evans, said the results have added significant areas of high-grade lithium mineralisation to the known ore body.
Of the seven drill holes for which final results have been received, two intersected high-grade zones of mineralisation. The other five targets, although showing promise from earlier magnetic surveying, did not intersect any significant lithium mineralisation and have been closed out.
Mr Evans said the confirmation of these high-grade results and the increased knowledge gained by investigating nearby target zones now provides clear direction for the company to continue its resource development and exploration activities at Cancet.
“These high-grade results prove Cancet contains world class levels of lithium mineralisation close to surface,” he said.
“The latest findings give us further confidence to continue the resource development and exploration work across the significant landholding the company has at Cancet.
“We remain focused on declaring a maiden resource in the near term.”
Key Results
• WC-22-01 – 25.98m @ 1.55% Li2O from 5.72m depth, including: 11.28m @ 2.45% Li2O from 5.72m, 4.00m @ 3.89% Li2O (8.0m to 12.0m)
• WC-22-18 – 12.00m @ 1.16% Li2O from 3.0m depth, including: 6.0m @ 1.55% Li2O (3.0m to 9.0m)
These holes were planned to further understand the lithology of the main mineralised zones and were not specifically twinned to any previous drill holes.
The Cancet project has now been subject to a significant amount of diamond drilling which has delineated a well mineralised, high-grade and shallow ore body.
The most recent drilling campaign has built on the knowledge of the ore body gained in previous campaigns and will contribute heavily to the target of publishing a maiden resource at Cancet in the near term.
