[{"type":"text","content":"Frontier Lithium Makes a New Discovery on the PAK Lithium ProjectHighlights:- A new LCT Pegmatite showing, herein called the Spark Pegmatite, was discovered 2.3 km northwest of the PAK Lithium Deposit;- The surface area of the exposed pegmatite is 3.5 hectares with widths greater than 100m and a strike length of more than 300m. All indications suggest the pegmatite has a sub-vertical orientation;- A total of 236.4 m of channels have been cut and sampled. Channel 33, representing 20% of the total known/visible width, have been received to date with an average of 1.98% Li2O over 23 metres. The results of 213.4 metres of samples in 6 channels remains outstanding;- Spodumene has been identified in all but 6 metres of channel cut to date.;- The results from Electron Microprobe work on spodumene from selected polished thin sections indicate similar Fe2O3, Na2O and Al2O3 content as the PAK deposit.SUDBURY, ON / ACCESSWIRE / November 7, 2018 / Frontier Lithium Inc. (TSX-V: FL) (the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the new discovery of the Spark Pegmatite on the PAK Lithium Project (\"The Project\"), located only 2.3 km north-west of the PAK deposit (Figure 1). The showing is an LCT (Lithium Cesium Tantalum) pegmatite intruding vertically into metavolcanics and mafic schists. It was discovered in the final days of a geological mapping program in late September 2018. It is located on a topographic high and very well exposed (3.5 hectares) due in part to the latest forest fires of 2012.Initial mapping and sampling indicate significant zones that appear similar to the Lower Intermediate Zone at the PAK Deposit. Aplite, feldspar and spodumene is common throughout the outcrop exposure. Unfortunately snow cover in October prevented any detailed mapping and work was largely restricted to channel sampling. A drone-derived high resolution ortho-corrected image complete with detailed DEM (Digital Elevation Model) was collected and will form the basis for modelling and future drill programs. Figure 2 is a view from the west showing the trace of the channels draped over the topography.No mechanized stripping was required to complete channel sampling. As a result, one 23 metre channel (Channel 33) was cut at the time of discovery and an additional 6 channels (213.4 m) were cut three weeks later in October just before freeze-up suspension of The Pr...
