[{"type":"text","content":"ST. JOHN'S, Newfoundland and Labrador / Feb 28, 2023 / Business Wire / Adia Resources Inc. (“Adia” or the “Company”) has submitted applications for three Mineral Exploration Licences (MELs) totalling approximately 61,000 hectares, which are pending issuance by the Government of Manitoba, and will bring the Company’s current land position to 145,000 hectares. Adia has expanded its land position to cover recently recognized targets it considers prospective for lithium-bearing pegmatites, in addition to critical rare earth element (REE), gold, and diamond potential. Lithium. Spodumene-bearing pegmatites have been historically documented by government mapping programs south of the Lynx Property around the McGill Lake intrusion, such as at Mclaughlin Lake and also near Gods River [Godslith property; historical drilling results of 14.81m of 1.59% Li2O and historical, non-43-101 compliant resources of 4,800,000 tons of 1.27% Li2O (indicated) and 4,600,000 tons of 1.14% Li2O (probable)1], while additional pegmatite occurrences have been documented on the Lynx project near south Knee Lake2,3. None of these occurrences on the Lynx Project have been investigated to date by Adia. Moreover, using till data from the Manitoba Geological Survey4,5, Adia has identified a number of coincident lithium-cesium-rubidium anomalies representing till samples in the 95th and 98th percentile. A positive spatial correlation of these elements is evident near the McLaughlin Lake pegmatite occurrences and other pegmatite dykes mapped within Adia’s property (see figure 1). As such, Adia believes these lithium, cesium and rubidium till anomalies on its exploration licences may represent nearby bedrock sources of similar pegmatite which have no documented historical work and to date have received no follow up by the Company. Rare Earth Elements. In the center of the Lynx Property is the ~25 square kilometre Cinder Lake alkaline intrusive complex and related pegmatite and carbonatite dykes (see figure 2), all of which have been noted to host rare earth element bearing minerals, suggesting the potential for critical REE mineralization with the Knee Lake greenstone belt6,7. No exploration has been done in the Cinder Lake area for REE mineralization since the discovery of the related carbonatite dykes in 2014. Gold. The Knee Lake Greenstone belt is host to a number ...
