NOA Drills Thickest High-Grade Intercept To Date At Rio Grande And Intercepts Average 526 Mg/L Lithium Over 508.5 Meters
BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA / ACCESSWIRE / October 16, 2023 / NOA Lithium Brines Inc. (TSXV:NOAL)(FSE:N7N) ("NOA" or the "Company") is pleased to report positive lithium results from brine samples from RG23-003, the third hole of the Phase 1 diamond drill program at its Rio Grande project ("Rio Grande" or the "Project"). The hole was drilled within the salar, approximately 6 kilometers ("km") northwest of hole RG23-002, at the Cristina claim on the surface salar on the Project, and intersected a high-grade lithium ("Li") brine aquifer of significant thickness starting from a down-hole depth of only 15 meters ("m"). Highlights include:
阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯/ACCESSWIRE/2023年10月16日/Noa Li Brines Inc.(多伦多证券交易所股票代码:N7N)(“Noa“或”公司)很高兴地报告RG23-003卤水样品的锂离子检测结果呈阳性,RG23-003是其里奥格兰德项目第一阶段钻石钻探项目的第三个孔(格兰德河“或”项目)。这个洞是在萨拉尔境内钻的,大约6公里(公里)在RG23-002孔西北,在项目地表沙拉尔的Cristina索赔处,并与一条高品位锂(李“)从只有15米深的井下开始的相当厚的卤水含水层(”M“)。重点包括:
- 508.5 m (15 m - 659 m) grading 526 milligrams per litre ("mg/l") Li.
- Brine aquifer beginning at a shallow depth of only 15 m below surface, and encountered the thickest, high-grade intercept to date at Rio Grande.
- Encountered highest-grade Li concentration of 785 mg/l at 250 m.
- Hole drilled to a depth of 676 m, resulting in the deepest reported occurrence of permeable brines at Rio Grande.
- 508.5米(15米-659米)每升526毫克(“L”)Li。
- 从地表以下只有15米的浅层开始开采卤水含水层,在里奥格兰德遇到了迄今为止最厚的高品位截流。
- 在250米处,Li的最高浓度为785毫克/L。
- 钻井深度达676米,这是据报道在里奥格兰德发现的最深的渗透性卤水。
NOA's Chief Executive Officer Gabriel Rubacha states: "Our third exploration hole delivers our best drill results to date, confirming the potential of the Rio Grande Project. The excellent results from this hole, combined with the high-grade intercepts from our two previous holes, deliver a consistent high lithium concentration brine that expected to contribute to a material resource, that confirming a project of significant magnitude can be developed in our Rio Grande's properties. Our fourth hole has already been started in the El Camino property, in the northeast area of Rio Grande. With two rigs mobilized at site, we remain on schedule to develop a maiden resource estimate on the project in the first half of 2024."
NOA的首席执行官加布里埃尔·鲁巴查表示:我们的第三个勘探孔提供了迄今为止最好的钻探结果,证实了里奥格兰德项目的潜力。这个洞的出色结果,加上我们前两个洞截获的高品位卤水,提供了稳定的高锂浓度卤水,预计将有助于物质资源,这证实了我们可以在里奥格兰德的资产中开发一个重大项目。我们的第四个洞已经在格兰德河东北部的El Camino地产开始。现场调动了两个钻井平台,我们仍将按计划在2024年上半年对该项目进行首次资源评估。
Hole RG23-003 was executed with diamond drilling (HQ-size), permitting the extraction of core samples of the salar basin formations and collection of brine samples where possible. Drilling was carried out by Salta-based Hidrotec S.A., under the supervision of NOA's geologists.
RG23-003孔是用钻石钻探(HQ-SIZE)完成的,可以提取萨拉尔盆地地层的岩心样品,并在可能的情况下收集卤水样品。钻井是由总部位于萨尔塔的Hidrotec S.A.在NOA地质学家的监督下进行的。
The lithological profile of the third hole is in-line with other drillholes at the Project. Almost the entire depth of the +600 m hole returned brine-saturated units based on packer testing, with the exception of select horizons with a few meters in thickness. In general, halite and interstitial sands were the dominant lithologies, with amounts of each varying along the depth.
根据封隔器测试,+600米井的几乎整个深度都返回了盐水饱和单元,除了几米厚的精选层位。
The Phase 1 drill program is planned for six holes and is designed to deliver a maiden mineral resource estimate for the Rio Grande project in early 2024. The location of RG23-003 is shown in Figure 1.
第一阶段钻探计划为六个孔,旨在于2024年初为里奥格兰德项目提供首次矿产资源评估。RG23-003的位置如图1所示。

Sample Analysis & QA/QC Program
样品分析和QA/QC计划
The Company has a robust QA/QC and sample management program. Brine samples were collected by a single / double packer system (in-hole inflatable) to isolate specific intervals down the drillhole. The packer sampling method allows the collection of brine samples at specific depths while sealing the hole at the top and bottom of the interval. The packer system was run several times to flush the hole after drilling to clear / clean the hole prior to sampling and four samples for each interval were collected (main sample, duplicate sample, check sample, reserve sample). The drillhole of the current release was inclined vertically (90 degrees) and the salar strata are believed to be flat-lying resulting in reported intervals approximating true thickness.
公司拥有强大的QA/QC和样品管理计划。盐水样品由单/双封隔器系统(井内充气)采集,以隔离钻井中的特定层段。封隔器取样方法允许在特定深度采集卤水样品,同时封堵井段顶部和底部的孔。封隔器系统在钻井后多次冲洗井眼,在取样前清除/清理井眼,每段采集四个样品(主样、复样、检查样、备用样)。目前泄漏口的钻孔垂直倾斜(90度),萨拉尔地层据信是平躺的,因此报告的间隔接近真实厚度。
Samples of brine were submitted by courier for analysis to SGS Argentina S.A., the local subsidiary of SGS International, an accredited laboratory for the analysis of lithium and other elements. SGS employed Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry as the analytical technique for the primary constituents of interest, including: boron, calcium, potassium, lithium, and magnesium. Measurements in the field included pH, conductivity, temperature and density. The quality of sample analytical results was controlled and assessed with a protocol of blank, duplicate and standard samples included within the sample sequence. Differences between original and duplicate samples and results for standards and blanks are considered within the acceptable range for lithium.
卤水样本通过快递提交给SGS阿根廷公司,SGS阿根廷公司是SGS国际公司的当地子公司,SGS国际公司是一家经认可的锂和其他元素分析实验室。SGS采用电感耦合等离子体发射光谱分析技术对感兴趣的主要成分进行分析,包括:硼、钙、钾、锂和镁。野外测量包括pH值、电导率、温度和密度。通过包括在样品序列中的空白、重复和标准样品的协议来控制和评估样品分析结果的质量。标准样品和空白样品的原始和复制样品以及结果之间的差异被认为在锂的可接受范围内。
