The historical results included 1.10% Li2O and 4.72% Li2O indicating strong potential warranting follow up. Rubidium values up to 3660ppm in one sample (0.9% Li, Cs and Ta>1000ppm) indicated strong potential for a valuable by-product. \"During the summer/fall field season, Benz managed to confirm the presence of the outcropping LCT pegmatite at Ruby Hill West. Like most of the region, the area is partly covered by vegetation and shallow glacial till and will require scraping and trenching, pending appropriate permits and favourable weather. Additional field work is planned before the end of October 2021.\"Several magnetic lows wer...
