[{"type":"text","content":"Toronto, Ontario – TheNewswire - August 12, 2021 – Tantalex Resources Corporation (CSE:TTX) (CNSX:TTX.CN) (FSE:1TO) (“Tantalex” or the “Corporation”), is pleased to announce the commencement of drilling works on the Manono-Kitotolo lithium and tin tailings project, PER 13698. The Exploration Target for this licence is 60MT to 80MT of previously mined material at 0.5% to 1% Li2O and 500ppm to 1000ppm SnO2 (43-101 Technical Report, Manono Tailings Lithium & Tin Project, Nico Scholtz, February 15th, 2019). Although this Exploration Target remains current, an updated version of this 43-101 Technical Report is currently being prepared to reflect the latest transaction with MINOR SARL. Tantalex’s work program to define a Mineral Resource Estimate will include conducting a drone topographical survey and carrying out a combination of Aircore/reverse circulation (RC) drilling on the stacked dumps and shallow Cobra percussion gouge (auger) drilling on the terraced tailings dumps. A contract for an initial 5,000 metres of aircore/RC drilling has been signed with Equity Drilling who are already very familiar with the area of Manono. The drilling crew is mobilising to Manono on the 16th August and drilling is expected to commence within 2-3 weeks. A total of 5,000 metres is planned in 139 holes on three dumps in Phase 1 (Table 1). The thickness of the dumps ranges from 10m at the B dump to 72m at the G dump. The average dump thickness is 46m. Drilling on the initial 5,000 metres will commence on the adjacent H and G dumps in the Kitotolo Sector (Figure 2) and then move to the C dump in the Manono Sector. Drilling is expected to take 4-6 weeks to complete. Drill holes will be sampled at 1 metre intervals and composited to three metres for geochemical analysis at ALS Laboratory in South Africa.
