[{"type":"text","content":" GLOBAL BATTERY METALS BEGINS EXPLORATION ACTIVITY ALONG WITH FURTHER EVALUATION OF OTHER STRATEGIC PROJECTS UPON CLOSING THE RECENT OVERSUBSCRIBED PRIVATE PLACEMENT VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 08, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northwest Leinster Project Update: Global Battery Metals Ltd. (formerly Redzone Resources Ltd.) (the “Company” or “Global Battery Metals”) (TSXV: GBML) announces the next phase of work on the Northwest Leinster Project has now commenced. This work is in addition to the Due Diligence activities as described in the GBM-LRHR Agreement (dated October 23rd, 2018). Activities planned include verification of selected regional stream sediment sites, eight lines of soil sampling and focused prospecting. Six soil lines intended for the Aghavannagh target, and 1 line each intended for the Scurlocks and Sorrel targets. The stream sediment work will improve confidence in the selection of targets that warrant follow-up work. We will sample and analyze multiple soil horizons for the best anomaly contrast. Detailed prospecting at the Knocknaboley will target favourable lithogeochemistry from the first-pass exploration. Planned work at Aghavannagh should provide most of the information required to lay out drill holes and to determine the methodologies and extent of follow-up surveys on other targets. A limited geophysical survey may be completed at Aghavannagh depending on soil sampling results. The planned work at the Sorel, Scurlock, and Knocknaboley targets will help determine the nature and extent of further pre-drilling activities. Fortner-Boyd Project Objective Updates: Drilling to investigate grade and thickness of the mineralization: Define grade and thickness of pegmatite dyke on nine sections along strike Test depth continuity up to 150ft vertical (on nine sections) and up to 225ft vertical on 3 of the sections Gathered mineralized material will be used for preliminary mineralogical and metallurgical testing; Test northern and southern extensions of the outcropping main Lucky Mica dyke; Drilling sequence will be focussed on investigating economic grades observed from surface grab samples; Under Pit area in northern portion of the dyke; Under center portion of the dyke; Samples from the first three holes will be rush assayed to facilitate adjustments to the drilling campaign; Completion of the full pr...
