Jul 13, 2022 (Therese Pettigrew) - The West Joe pollucite zone is characterized by secondary lepidolite and muscovite along fractures in massive white pollucite. The pollucite zone is enclosed within the inner intermediate zone consisting of coarse-grained pale green spodumene, coarse-grained white K-feldspar enriched in rubidium, and Ta-oxide minerals. Drilling on the West Joe Dyke has intersected multiple pollucite intervals with up to 24.07 % Cs2O at a shallow depth of 15.00 m in drill hole PWM-22-143 (Power Metals news release Oct 13, 2022). West Joe Dyke contains Cesium (Cs) mineralization as shown by the presence of pollucite in drill core and the following assay results: PWM-18-126 returned 14.70 % Cs2O over 1.0 m, 13.0 to 14.0 m; PWM-18-112 returned 12.40 % Cs2O over 1.0 m, 10.0 to 11.0 m; and PWM-18-126 returned 6.74 % Cs2O over 5.0 m, 11.0 to 16.0 m (Power Metals news release February 20, 2020). DDH PWM-22-130 encountered white spodumene and coarse-grained cleavelandite (Power Metals news release July 12, 2022).
