[{"type":"text","content":"Equitorial Exploration Discovers New High Grade Tantalum Zone at the Cat Tail Pegmatite in SE Manitoba with Assays up to 0.16% Ta2O5 (1600 ppm Ta2O5)(via TheNewswire)\n \n \nVancouver, BC, Canada / TheNewswire / August 21, 2018 - Equitorial Exploration Corp. (TSX-V: EXX, Frankfurt: EE1, OTCQB: EQTXF) (\"Equitorial\" or \"Company\") is excited to announce the drill assay results from drill hole CT-18-03 and CT-18-05 that have been recently received from the Cat Tail Pegmatite in the Cat Lake area of southeast Manitoba. The drill holes are from a program carried out by the company in late spring of 2018.\n\n \n \nDrill Hole CT-18-03\n\n\n \nDrill hole CT-18-03 was collared approximately 75 meters northward of the Cat Tail Pegmatite discovery drill hole, CT-18-02. The discovery drill hole, was originally positioned to intersect a possible projection of the Irgon Pegmatite system, presently being explored by QMC Quantum Minerals to the west of the company's claims. The discovery drill hole CT-18-02 encountered 36.19 meters of a spodumene-bearing pegmatite (true width not determined at this time) at a depth of 126.41 meters downhole or 90 meters below the surface. The hole was collared approximately 222 meters southeast of the last surface exposure of the Irgon Pegmatite. The Cat Tail Pegmatite has no known surface expression. Drill hole \n\n\n \nCT-18-03 was collared to intersect the lithium-bearing Cat Tail Pegmatite at its projected up dip position. It however encountered a pegmatite system at the same drill depth as the Cat Tail Pegmatite. This hole extends the lateral extent of the Cat tail Pegmatite discovery 50 meters to the east. Steeply dipping pegmatites were encountered at 83.86 meters downhole\n\n\n \nThe lithium content of this portion of the Cat Tail Pegmatite system was not as lithium enriched as previous drilled sections (0.07 to 0.30% Li2O) but returned significant tantalum mineralization with individual assays up to 0.16 % Ta2O5 (see Table 1 for weighted averages of the pegmatites intervals in CT-18-03). \n\n\n \n\n\n\nClick Image To View Full Size\n\n\n\n \n \nTable 1: Weighted Averages for DDH CT-18-03 at the Cat Tail Pegmatite\n\n\n \nAccording to the 2011 USGS (United States Geological Survey) report on Niobium and Tantalum (see link here), in 2011, tantalum ore grade deposits mined in the world were less than 0...
