[{"type":"text","content":" TORONTO, Feb. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jourdan Resources Inc. (TSXV: JOR; OTCQB: JORFF) (“Jourdan” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its winter drill campaign has commenced, starting with hole number VAL22-2-7, completing the northern extension of the drilled fence line previously started during Q3 2021. The drill program is anticipated to extend the known deposit at the Company’s Vallee property eastwards (Fig. 1). The 2000m diamond drilling program is intended to follow up on the results of the fence line drilled in 2021 along the western side of the Company’s Vallee property, which borders with the North American Lithium mine. This new drilling campaign aims at drilling three fence lines further north and further east across the lithium-bearing pegmatite swarm, which has been mined in the immediate vicinity to the west. 10 holes of approximately 200m depth each are scheduled to be drilled aiming at the pegmatites swarm identified by the trenching of the bulk sample collected on the Vallee property in 2018 and initially intersected by the 2011 fence line drilling campaign along the western boundary of Vallee. The assay results from the bulk sample revealed high Li2O grade (see the Company’s press release dated April 29, 2021, which is available on the Company’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com), which have encouraged the Company to continue exploration and drill along the strike and depth extent on its Vallee property. Jourdan is significantly enlarging its database by adding more drill holes since the start of the exploration work in 2011. The 2011 drilling comprised 21 drill holes (4256m), the 2021 campaign consisted of eight drill holes (1680m) and with the planned 2000m round of drilling in 2022, Jourdan is on track to having more than 7900m (39 drill holes) of core that the Company intends to use in the future to establish a preliminary mineral resource estimate. The drill program is being conducted by Forage Hébert from Amos, Quebec, under the supervision of Alexandr Beloborodov Géologue Inc. (ABG Exploration) of Laval, Quebec. Jourdan’s Chief Executive Officer, Rene Bharti, commented, “We are very excited to start the next phase of our drill program. Once completed, we will have nearly 8,000 meters drilled at Jourdan’s flagship property. Our goal is to define a preliminary mineral resource estimate in the...
