[{"type":"text","content":"Equitorial Exploration Undertakes Core Resampling Program to Re-analyze Previous Lithium Results at its 100%-owned Little Nahanni Pegmatite Group (LNPG) Property(via TheNewswire)\n \n \nVancouver, BC, Canada / TheNewswire / October 5, 2017 - Equitorial Exploration Corp. (TSX-V: EXX, Frankfurt: EE1, OTCQB: EQTXF) (\"Equitorial\" or \"Company\") is pleased to report that it is resampling the 2007 diamond drill core from its 100%-owned Little Nahanni Pegmatite Group (LNPG) Lithium Property (NWT). Equitorial believes that intersections from the 2007 drill core contain significant previously unevaluated lithium potential. This program will re-examine and re-sample the existing drill core in order to better test the lithium potential of the dyke swarms and to further advance the understanding of the project. \n\n\n \nHighlights\n\n\n \n\n\n- Previous property owner was exploring for tantalum and tin\n\n\n\n- Lithium results from holes MAC006 and MAC007 are believed to be understated \n\n\n\n- Many of the samples exceeded the upper detection limit for lithium (1%) and were not further analyzed\n\n\n\n- This program will analyze the drill core using techniques suitable for >1% lithium \n\n\n\n\n \nIn 2007, five holes totaling 1,120 m were drilled on the Li Property by a previous owner while exploring for tantalum and tin. The most significant results from this work were obtained from holes MAC006 and MAC007 which were drilled from a single ridge-top setup and targeted the Great Wall of China swarm in the central part of the property. MAC006 intersected 0.92% Li2O over 18.27 m, while MAC007 intersected 1.20% Li2O over 10.94 m. Lithium results from these holes is believed to be understated as many of the samples included in these intervals exceeded the upper detection limit for lithium (1%) and were not analyzed beyond this. The 2017 sampling will analyze the drill core using techniques suitable for >1% lithium.\n\n\n \nLithium-cesium-tantalum pegmatite dyke swarms on the property have been traced over a combined length of 13 km in mountainous terrain that is deeply incised by several east- or west-facing cirques. The vertical extent of these dykes has been traced for 300 m through natural exposure and diamond drilling along ridges in 2007. The dykes are well exposed on the cirque walls and strike northerly, with near vertical dips....
