[{"type":"text","content":"Toronto, Ontario – TheNewswire - November 1, 2021 – Tantalex Resources Corporation (CSE:TTX) (CNSX:TTX.CN) (“Tantalex” or the “Corporation”), is pleased to announce that it is planning to continue it’s drilling field exploration activities along the pegmatite corridor downstrike from the historical Manono Kitotolo lithium & tin mine. Drilling on the dumps has now reached 7,500m and will be completed in approximately 1 week. Samples taken from the first 4 dumps (G, H, I, K) have been sent to the laboratory and assay results are expected to be received in the coming weeks. Once the assay results received from all the dumps, a Phase 2 drilling program will be conducted for infill drilling and additional resource confirmation in Q1 2022. During this period, the Company will pursue with exploration efforts on it’s majority owned concessions PR 12447 and PR 12448. Preliminary exploration programs identified two highly prospective targets along the Pegmatite Corridor; the Kakodi Pegmatite and the Lubule Sn-Ta Prospect. Figure 1: Tantalex Concessions in Manono Area ; Pegmatite Corridor Kakodi Pegmatite : Hard rock lithium potential Geological mapping covering an area of about 5km2 was conducted in 2020 at the Kakodi prospect in the southern part of PR12447 with the objective of determining the extent and potential of the hard rock source pegmatites to host primary Sn-Ta-Li mineralization (figure 2). The dominant lithology noted was highly to moderately silicified medium to coarse grained granite with intercalation of multiple/series of slightly to moderately weathered pegmatite bodies up to few hundreds of meters in width and along strike and localized dolerite unit. Figure 2: Kakodi Pegmatite Preliminary mapping The Exploration program will consist in additional field mapping and approximately 1,250m of diamond drilling to test the pegmatite intersections identified on surface. Lubule Prospect : Sn-Ta near-term production potential Preliminary exploration on the Lubule Prospect has provided promising indications that the area could sustain a multiyear alluvial Sn-Ta semi-industrial production. Preliminary sampling, mapping and a Tromino passive seismic survey successfully identified the location of the existing buried paleochannels which have the potential to host cassiterite and coltan mineralisation over a 1,000...
