Mineralization Comments

Feb 14, 2024 (Sheree Hinz) - Sampling done by OGS mappers in 2007 (MRD238) returned 1390.4 ppm Li (07TM032-1), and 07TM032-2 returned above detection limit (>4000 ppm Li). In 2023, Blaze Minerals Ltd. followed up the OGS sampling with prospecting and hand-stripping which uncovered the pegmatite outcrop to a width of ~10m. Three channel samples were cut, with spodumene present in all samples.
