[{"type":"text","content":"GoldON Provides Analytical Results from the Latest Fieldwork at Its McInnes Lake Lithium-Pegmatite ProspectNumerous lithium, rubidium and cesium values comparable to the Separation Rapids pluton, the most chemically evolved peraluminous parent granite in OntarioVictoria, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 21, 2023) - GoldON Resources Ltd. (TSXV: GLD) (\"GoldON\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to provide analytical results from the latest fieldwork program on its 100%-owned McInnes Lake property (the \"Property\") in northwestern Ontario.The exploration program focused on mapping and sampling of areas around previously identified fertile peraluminous granite plutons and derived exocontact pegmatites in two areas of the McInnes Lake greenstone belt, McInnes North Pluton and the Lower Bay Pluton. The fieldwork covered approximately 50 square kilometres (km) and amassed 226 grab and 25 channel saw samples. Blocky K-feldspar separates (20 samples) were also analyzed to assess the degree of chemical fractionation in peraluminous pegmatitic granites, a tool utilized in rare metal pegmatite exploration1,2. For additional details see GoldON's news release of April 24, 2023.\"The latest exploration results amplify the presence of a Li-Rb-Cs pegmatite system that could reside in the exocontact aureole adjacent to the southeast flanks of the McInnes North pluton,\" said GoldON's Technical Advisor, Frederick Breaks, PhD, PGeo. \"Very few fertile granite complexes in Ontario have cesium levels in K-feldspar above 400 ppm outside of the Separation Rapids complex-type pegmatite group.\" Highlights of the field program include:Fertile, strongly peraluminous, parent granite-external pegmatite systems, with potential for lithium-bearing mineralization, were delineated in two areas of the McInnes Lake greenstone belt. Rare metal anomalous granitic pegmatites distributed over 25 km in the belt.Target area for lithium-rich pegmatites reduced to 500 metres (m) by 1800 m area adjacent to the east contact of McInnes North pluton (MNP) based on evolved pegmatite distribution (Exocontact Pegmatites 1, 2, and 3) and lithium (Li), rubidium (Rb), and cesium (Cs) dispersion anomalies in host intermediate metavolcanics. McInnes North parent granite-exocontact pegmatite system has a higher degree of evolution than many fertile granite plutons elsewhe...
