Lithium exploration and development company Winsome Resources has provided an update on exploration at its 100% owned projects in the James Bay region of Quebec, Canada. Further results have been received from the newly identified Footwall Zone at Adina as well as further thick, high grade intersections in the Main Zone.
Further results have been received from the Footwall Zone, confirming the discovery of a new lithium-bearing pegmatite dyke swarm at Adina.
Results include:
- 1.72% Li2O over 17.3 m from 215.3 m (AD-23-022).
- 1.11% Li2O over 27.4 m from 290.0 m (AD-23-025).
- 1.03% Li2O over 41.7 m from 271.3 m inc. 1.32% Li2O over 19.5 m from 271.3 m (AD-23-027).
- 1.38% Li2O over 11.3 m from 244.2 m and 1.15% Li2O over 23.5 m from 270.6 m (AD-23-040).
- 1.32% Li2O over 26.0 m from 215.5 m and 1.71% Li2O over 11.4 m from 281.7 m (AD-23-047).
Multiple dyke swarms becoming apparent within new Footwall Zone. Recent drilling focussed on testing the up-dip, near surface continuation of the Footwall Zone with assays is still pending. Assays from the Main Zone of lithium mineralisation at Adina have also been received, with thick, near surface, high-grade Lithium intersections containing:
- 2.04% Li2O over 26.4 m from 57.0 m inc. 1.93% Li2O over 25.5 m from 116.7 m (AD-23-027).
- 1.73% Li2O over 46.5 m from 17.8 m (AD-23-047).
- 1.16% Li2O over 29.5 m from 110.5 m (AD-23-025).
- 1.08% Li2O over 41.6 m from 35.4 m (AD-23-022).
Continued flow of results ensures Winsome on track for maiden Adina Mineral Resource Estimate later in 2023, despite the current hiatus on drilling.
Winsome’s Managing Director, Chris Evans, said: “It is a pleasure to update shareholders with another drilling update containing further strong intersections of lithium mineralisation from the Main Zone at Adina as well as the recently discovered Footwall Zone. These results define high grades and good thicknesses of mineralisation within both zones which we are feeding into the mineralisation model for Adina as part of the early work for our maiden Mineral Resource Estimate later in 2023. It also opens the potential that there could be multiple parallel zones below the main bodies. The fires in Quebec have meant a temporary suspension in drilling however this offers the opportunity to plan the MRE infill drilling in detail for the remainder of the year. We continue to prioritise the safety of our team as we monitor the situation on the ground in Quebec.”
