[{"type":"text","content":"Toronto, Ontario – TheNewswire - February 22, 2022 – Tantalex Resources Corporation (CSE:TTX) (CNSX:TTX.CN) (FSE:1T0) (“Tantalex” or the “Corporation”), is pleased to provide an update on its development and exploration activities in Manono, Democratic Republic of Congo. For calendar year 2022, Tantalex expects to generate a steady stream of news from its near-term production assets and greenfield exploration concessions, namely: 1. MANONO LITHIUM & TIN TAILINGS PROJECT Further to our initial assay results received recently from PER 13698, work in Q1 and Q2 will focus on the additional preparation and assaying of samples from the 9,279m of aircore drilling completed late in 2021 and on collecting bulk samples (approximately 9 tonnes from 3 dumps) for metallurgical testwork. Tantalex has developed a process flowsheet to separate the Li (spodumene) from the tin and tantalum without the use of a dense media separation (DMS) circuit. Coremet Mineral Processing will perform the proof-of-concept metallurgical testwork at their facilities in South Africa on the proposed process flowsheet developed by Tantalex. Specialist Consultants MSA Group has been appointed to complete a 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) based on the aircore drilling. The MRE and the results of the metallurgical testwork are expected in Q2 after which a Preliminary Economic Assessment will be immediately undertaken to determine the projects optimal mining and processing scenario. With the exploitation permit already in place, construction and mining could commence quickly thereafter. 2. LUBULE TIN & TANTALUM ALLUVIAL PROJECT Tantalex owns a 70% stake in the mining concessions PR12447 & 12448 with state company Cominiere SA owning the remaining 30%. Exploration work in 2020/21 has indicated that the 9km long Lubule River catchment area within PR12447 has potential to support a semi-industrial alluvial Sn-Ta mine. During Q1 of this year a PEPM (a small mine exploitation permit) application covering over 3,700 Ha of known mineralised G2 gravels will be lodged. A 750m program of shallow PQ3 diamond core drilling is planned for Q1 to further define the grade, thickness, and spatial continuity of the mineralised G2 gravels along the 1,000 metres of prospective paleo channel defined by earlier geophysical work in 2021. Initial exploration and development ...
