QMC Identifies Another Spodumene-Bearing Pegmatite Dike
25 Janeiro 2018 - 11:45AM
QMC Quantum Minerals Corp., (TSX.V:QMC)
(FRANKFURT:3LQ) (OTC PINK:QMCQF) (
“QMC” or
"the Company"). QMC is pleased to provide the following
update on exploration activities at its 100% owned Irgon Lithium
Mine Project, S.E. Manitoba.
Another pegmatite dike, has been located
approximately 50 metres north of the east end of the Irgon
Dike. During the initial examination, localized spodumene
mineralization was noted. The dike was channel sampled during
the 2017 fall program. Eleven, approximately one metre long,
channel samples (totalling 9.7m) were obtained across this
dike. Assay results are pending.
Two pegmatite dikes comprise the dike as observed
in outcrop. The dikes are subparallel to each other with only
approximately 20 meters defined strike length currently exposed on
surface. The apparent width of the dike ranges between 0.40
and 2.6 meters. The dikes are separated by a distance of
approximately 4 to 9 meters and both appear to pinch out along
strike. It is currently unclear if the dikes are the same
dike or two separate dikes. The dikes are observed trending
generally north-east to south-west; the dip of either dike has yet
to be confirmed.
Requested assay analysis of all channel and grab
samples currently delivered to, and received by SGS Labs in
Lakefield, Ontario consisted of a sodium peroxide fusion and
subsequent ICP-AES and ICP MS scans for 56 elements including Li,
Ta, Nb, Cs, Rb and Be - all elements which may potentially be found
within the Winnipeg River area rare element-bearing pegmatites.
This, along with all other dikes known to exist on
the property will be further evaluated during the 2018 field
season.
HISTORICAL RESOURCEBetween 1953-1954, the Lithium
Corporation of Canada Limited drilled 25 holes into the Irgon Dike
and subsequently reported a historical resource
estimate of 1.2 million tons grading 1.51% Li20 over a
strike length of 365 meters and to a depth of 213 meters (Northern
Miner, Vol. 41, no.19, Aug. 4, 1955, p.3). This historical resource
is documented in a 1956 Assessment Report by B. B. Bannatyne for
the Lithium Corporation of Canada Ltd. (Manitoba Assessment Report
No. 94932). This historical estimate is believed to be based on
reasonable assumptions and neither the company nor the QP have any
reason to contest the document’s relevance and reliability. The
ongoing detailed channel sampling and a subsequent drill program
will be required to update this historical resource to current NI
43-101 standards. Historic metallurgical tests reported an 87%
recovery from which a concentrate averaging 5.9% Li2O was
obtained.
During this historical 1950 era work program, a
complete mining plant was installed on site designed to process 500
tons of ore per day and in addition, a three-compartment shaft was
sunk to a depth of 74 meters. On the 61-metre level, lateral
development was extended off the shaft for a total of 366 meters of
drifting from which six crosscuts transected the dike. The work was
suspended in 1957, awaiting a more favourable market for lithium
oxides and at this time the mine buildings were removed.
The mineral reserve cited above is
presented as a historical estimate and uses historical terminology
which does not conform to current NI43-101 standards. A qualified
person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical
estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. Although
the historical estimates are believed to be based on reasonable
assumptions, they were calculated prior to the implementation of
National Instrument 43-101. These historical estimates do not meet
current standards as defined under sections 1.2 and 1.3 of NI
43-101; consequently, the issuer is not treating the historical
estimate as current mineral resources or mineral
reserves.
