[{"type":"text","content":"Toronto, Ontario – TheNewswire - October 19, 2021 – Tantalex Resources Corporation (CSE:TTX) (CNSX:TTX.CN) (“Tantalex” or the “Corporation”), is pleased to provide an update on the drill program and continuation of field work in the Manono area. The initial planned 5,000m of aircore drilling on 4 of the 11 historic waste dumps aimed at defining an initial Li-Sn-Ta Mineral Resource Estimate has now been completed and will be extended for an additional 3,000m. Figure 1 A total of 4,978m was drilled in 104 aircore drillholes on the G, H, I and K dumps in the southern Kitotolo Sector within PER 13698. These four dumps represent nearly 50% of the total measured 105,000,000 metric tons* volume of the 11 dumps within the project. Table 1 Drilling was done on both the coarser material on the stacked dumps and the associated fine material on the terrace dumps. Figure 2 Drilling on the coarse stacked dumps was on a nominal 40m x 40m grid spacing and on the fine terrace dumps at 80m centres along 160m spaced lines (as outlined in Figure 2). To test the estimated 50,000,000* metric tons contained in the C, D, E and F dumps in the northern Manono Sector, an additional 3,000m of aircore drilling is required and will proceed immediately beginning with the E dump. As with the drilling in the southern Kitotolo Sector, planned drilling on the coarse stacked dumps will be on a nominal 40m x 40m grid spacing and on the fine terrace dumps at 80m centres along 160m spaced lines. *Tons measured using a density an average density of 1,5g/cm³ Sample Submission & Laboratory Results An initial three drillholes (MDA011; 013; 015) comprising 131 samples from the H dump fine terrace were received on 21 September at the ALS lab in Ireland. Currently there is a large backlog of samples for the ME-MS89L method and results are expected to take 4-5 weeks. A second batch of 1078 samples from 27 selected representative holes on the G, H, I and K dumps is expected to arrive at the lab by the end of October. FURTHER DRILLING BEING PLANNED DOWNSTRIKE FROM HISTORICAL MINE Recent airborne geophysical studies suggest the Manono-Kitotolo pegmatite extends undercover to the southwest into PR12448. Tantalex drilled 6 holes in 2018 confirming the presence of pegmatite in the northeast corner of PR 12448 where diamond hole BMDD001 intercepted multiple, parallel spod...
