ACME Lithium Announces Results of Exploration Program at Bailey Lake Lithium Project in Saskatchewan, Canada
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 30, 2023) - ACME Lithium Inc. (CSE: ACME) (OTCQX: ACLHF) (the "Company", or "ACME") is pleased to announce the recently received sample results from the August surface sampling and prospecting program at its Bailey Lake pegmatite project in northeastern Saskatchewan. The program has successfully identified numerous boulder and outcrop samples exhibiting anomalous lithium grades as well as other elevated LCT (lithium-cesium-tantalum) pegmatite indicator elements. The results are the highest ever sampled in the region and highlight the significant potential for high-grade mineralization within the project area.
不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华--(新闻文件公司-2023 年 11 月 30 日)- ACME Lithium Inc (案例:ACME) (OTCQX:ACLHF) (“公司” 或 “ACME”)很高兴地宣布,最近收到的萨斯喀彻温省东北部贝利湖伟晶岩项目8月地表采样和勘探计划的样本结果。该项目已成功鉴定出大量表现出异常锂等级的巨石和露头样本以及其他较高的 LCT(锂-铯-钽)伟晶岩指示元素。结果是该地区有史以来最高的采样结果,凸显了该项目区域内高品位矿化的巨大潜力。
Highlights:
亮点:
- Samples grading up to 1.14% Li2O in boulders along trend of anomalous lithium values up to 0.73% Li2O identified in outcrop (Figure 1).
- Anomalous rare earth indicator elements with samples grading up to 413 ppm Tantalum (Ta) and 2242 ppm Tin (Sn).
- Highest grading lithium samples coincident with magnetic low.
- Additional area to the southwest hosting pegmatites exhibiting anomalous Tantalum values (Figure 2).
- Detailed Airborne Magnetic+Radiometric+Lidar survey completed over 7975 Ha of the property which will assist in further defining priority areas.
- 样本分级最高为 1.14% Li2沿锂值异常趋势的巨石中的氧含量最高可达 0.73% Li2露出时发现了 O(图 1)。
- 异常稀土指示元素,样品分级高达 413 ppm 钽 (Ta) 和 2242 ppm 锡 (Sn)。
- 最高等级的锂样品与磁性低位一致。
- 西南地区其他有表现出异常钽值的伟晶岩的区域(图 2)。
- 详细的机载磁学+辐射测量+激光雷达调查已完成该物业超过7975公顷的测量,这将有助于进一步确定优先区域。
"We are encouraged by the results from this initial field program," says ACME Lithium President and CEO Steve Hanson. "The focus of the campaign was to confirm and expand on the limited historic data based on lithium bearing samples reported in 2017. We exceeded these expectations by not only confirming and improving on the historic grades but identifying additional areas hosting LCT pegmatites to the northeast and southwest. We believe this phase 1 exploration effort has only just scratched the surface as to the potential for high-grade lithium on the property. Northern Saskatchewan is underexplored for critical minerals, and the results of this program reinforce the potential of this area of the province to become a new lithium area of discovery."
ACME Lithium总裁兼首席执行官史蒂夫·汉森说:“这项初始实地项目的结果令我们感到鼓舞。”“该活动的重点是确认和扩展基于2017年报告的含锂样本的有限历史数据。我们超出了这些预期,不仅确认和提高了历史等级,还确定了东北和西南地区有LCT伟晶岩的其他区域。我们认为,第一阶段的勘探工作只是对该物业上高品位锂的潜力浮出水面。萨斯喀彻温省北部的关键矿产勘探不足,该计划的结果增强了该省这一地区成为新的锂矿发现区的潜力。”
ACME Lithium has acquired or in under option to acquire a 100% interest in 18 contiguous mineral claims encompassing approximately 41,694 hectares (or 416 square kms).
ACME Lithium已收购或已选择收购18个毗连矿产索赔的100%权益,占地约41,694公顷(或416平方千米)。

The geological prospecting program was conducted from August 28th to September 15th by the companies' technical consultants Axiom Exploration Group Ltd. ("Axiom"). The program included 336 samples (including 5% quality control samples) collected around the area of historically reported Li-bearing pegmatite boulder samples collected in the Bailey Lake area (Figure 1). The samples collected from the 2023 program consisted of exposed boulder and outcropping pegmatites, as well as country rock. Mineralogical, alteration, and structural data (where possible) was also collected at these sample sites.
地质勘探计划于8月28日至9月15日由两家公司的技术顾问Axiom Exploration Group Ltd.(“Axiom”)进行。该计划包括在贝利湖地区采集的历史上报告的含锂伟晶岩巨石样本区域收集的336份样本(包括5%的质量控制样本)(图1)。从 2023 年计划中收集的样本包括裸露的巨石和露头的伟晶岩以及乡村岩石。还在这些样本地点收集了矿物学、变化和结构数据(如果可能)。
The results obtained from the 2023 sampling and prospecting program have confirmed and expanded on the lithium potential of the Property. Pegmatites showing high lithium values have been identified ~300 m up ice flow direction (NE) of the 2017 Li-bearing boulder samples (GemOil, 2017 - Ramaekers et al.). The initial data has indications that these Li-bearing boulders are near source and elevated Li and Ta values in outcrop samples further support this theory. About 5 km to the southwest, sampling has identified another prospective area showing high Ta values in the pegmatites with numerous samples over 100 ppm Ta (Figure 2). The company's technical team will be further analyzing and interpreting the data from the assay results in combination with the recently received geophysics to further refine exploration targets for further work.
2023年取样和勘探计划获得的结果证实并扩大了该物业的锂潜力。已在2017年含锂巨石样本(Gemoil,2017年——Ramaekers等人)的冰流方向(东北)上方约300米处发现了锂值较高的伟晶岩。初步数据表明,这些含锂巨石位于水源附近,露出样本中锂和钽值的升高进一步支持了这一理论。在西南约5公里处,采样发现了另一个显示伟晶岩中Ta值较高的前景区域,大量样本的Ta值超过100 ppm Ta(图 2)。该公司的技术团队将结合最近收到的地球物理学数据,进一步分析和解释化验结果中的数据,以进一步完善勘探目标,以进一步开展工作。

Analytical methods and QA\QC protocols
分析方法和 QA\ QC 协议
A thorough chain-of-custody and quality assurance and quality control ("QA/QC") program was carried out during the field program. Samples were obtained by rock hammer and rock saw. Sample locations were recorded by handheld Garmin GPS and samples were photographed, then placed in poly sample bags and zip tied. All rock samples were submitted to SGS Canada Inc. for Sodium Peroxide Fusion / ICP-AES and ICP-MS analysis with a focus on Lithium, Tantalum, and Cesium.
在实地计划期间,实施了全面的监管链、质量保证和质量控制(“QA/QC”)计划。样品是用岩锤和岩锯获得的。手持式 Garmin GPS 记录了样品位置,并对样品进行了拍照,然后放入聚乙烯样品袋中并系上拉链。所有岩石样本均已提交给加拿大地质调查局进行过氧化钠融合/ICP-AES和ICP-MS分析,重点是锂、钽和铯分析。
The Company's implemented QA/QC procedures included the routine insertion of LCT (lithium-cesium-tantalum) pegmatite certified standard control samples, lab duplicates, and silica blanks in accordance with industry recommended practices. This was used to test for natural variability, sampling bias, and homogeneity during sample preparation processes within the lab as well as testing the precision of the sample and any possible contamination from the lab and ensure proper calibration of lab equipment. Analytical results of certified reference materials were verified graphically and determined to be within the allowable error of 2 standards deviations of the certified lithium values.
该公司实施的质量保证/质量控制程序包括按照行业建议的做法常规插入 LCT(锂铯-钽)伟晶岩认证的标准对照样品、实验室副本和二氧化硅空白。这用于测试实验室样品制备过程中的自然变异性、采样偏差和均匀性,以及测试样品的精度和实验室可能产生的污染,并确保对实验室设备进行适当校准。经认证的参考材料的分析结果经过图形验证,并确定在与认证锂值相差2个标准差的允许误差范围内。
