[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 18, 2023 /CNW/ - October 19, 2023 – Sydney, Australia Highlights Discovery of new high-grade zone (with sample ranges including 3 – 5% Li2O) near-surface at the CV13 Spodumene Pegmatite. 12.7 m at 2.46% Li2O (73.3 m to 86.0 m), including 7.6 m at 3.82% Li2O (CV23–191). 8.0 m at 2.86% Li2O (57.2 m to 65.2 m), including 4.3 m at 5.03% Li2O (CV23–195). 10.2 m at 2.70% Li2O (56.3 m to 66.5 m), including 5.8 m at 4.48% Li2O (CV23–198) 10.7 m at 2.79% Li2O (67.0 m to 77.7 m), including 7.3 m at 3.94% Li2O (CV23–200) The CV13 Spodumene Pegmatite trend extends over an approximate 2.3 km strike length through multiple outcrop exposures, of which, approximately 1.1 km has now been traced continuously by drilling – remains open along strike at both ends and to depth. With significant mineralization now delineated further west at CV5 and at CV13, there are now several options for the mining starter pit. Company continues to drill westward from CV5 towards CV13 to test potential connectivity. Thirty-seven (37) drill holes, totalling approximately 7,300 m, have been completed in 2023 through October 9 at the CV13 Spodumene Pegmatite. Additional rig now coring for a total of eight (8) drill rigs currently active at site – four (4) at CV5, three (3) at CV13, and one (1) at CV9. Drilling is anticipated to ramp up further after the holidays with ten (10) drill rigs anticipated by mid January 2024. Darren L. Smith, Company Vice President of Exploration, comments: \"Drilling at CV13 has progressed steadily since our recommencement of activities in August, with results continuing to support the interpretation of an extensive, shallow-dipping and near-surface spodumene pegmatite dyke. The discovery announced today of a +3% Li2O high-grade zone at CV13, now traced over multiple drill holes, is reminiscent of the high-grade Nova Zone at CV5. As we continue to close the distance between CV5 and CV13 through drilling, this newly discovered high-grade zone at CV13, coupled with the large spodumene crystals observed (up to 1.3 m in drill core), supports the interpretation that both share the same \"plumbing\" system. Further highlights include; Metallurgy results to date provide a strong indication that material from both the CV13 Spodumene Pegmatite and CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite may be processed jointly ...
