Drilling Returns 2.69% Lithium Oxide (11,900ppm), 4210ppm Rubidium and 997ppm Caesium at Raleigh Lake Lithium Project, Ontario, CanadaVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 1, 2021) - International Lithium Corp. (TSXV: ILC) (the \"Company\" or \"ILC\") is pleased to announce that assay results have been received for the maiden diamond drilling program at the Raleigh Lake Lithium project near Ignace, Ontario, Canada. The Company is highly encouraged by the results to date in Zone 1 of the Raleigh Lake claim grouping, and especially by the consistent and highly anomalous quantities of rubidium and caesium encountered in the first round of drilling. The chemical analysis of the samples as a whole found the ppm of Rb to be 52.7% of the ppm of Li and the ppm of Cs to be 7.2% of the ppm of Li.These results are also reflected in surface geochemical samples collected in Zones 1, 2, 3 and 4 with the more recently acquired Zone 5 not yet having any coverage at all. The Company believes that there is a high probability of discovering more near surface mineralized pegmatites in future drilling campaigns. As previously reported in a Company news release dated April 19, 2021, a total of 1,504 metres of NQ core drilling were completed in eight holes (Table 1) to test the continuity of spodumene bearing pegmatites and their associated lithium, rubidium, caesium and tantalum mineralization down dip and along strike from outcrop and previous operators' drilling.Highlights:7 of 8 holes intersected significant lithium, rubidium, caesium and tantalum mineralization.Rubidium, caesium and tantalum mineralization at Raleigh Lake is closely associated with lithium mineralization.RL21-03 intersected*: 1.05 metres grading 2.69% Li2O (11,900 ppm ) from 31.04 metres;1.18 metres grading 4210 ppm Rb from 29.86 metres;0.55 metres grading 997 ppm Cs from 33.09 metres; and1.00 metres grading 207 ppm Ta from 32.09 metres downhole.The near surface interval is interpreted to be the downdip extent of Pegmatite 3, observed at surface and intersected by previous operators' drilling. The entire 3.78 metre interval grades 1.72% Li2O, 2829 ppm Rb, 299 ppm Cs, and 85 ppm Ta from 29.86 metres downhole (Table 2).RL21-02 intersected Pegmatite 3 more than 100 metres from RL21-03 at a downhole depth of 91.25 metres and returned 3.3 metr...
