Piedmont Lithium Uncovers High-Grade Lithium Zones in Quebec, New Drill Results Boost Piedmont Lithium's Resource Potential at NAL
Piedmont Lithium ("Piedmont" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:PLL, ASX: PLL))))), a leading North American supplier of lithium products critical to the U.S. electric vehicle supply chain, today announced that additional high-grade drill results at North American Lithium ("NAL") in Quebec continue to demonstrate the potential for a significant upgrade to the mineral resource estimate. These new drill results follow similar assay results released in May 2024.
北美领先的锂供应商Piedmont Lithium（“Piedmont”或“公司”）（纳斯达克：PLL，ASX：PLL）今天宣布，在魁北克的North American Lithium（“NAL”）获得的额外高品位钻探结果持续表明可能对涉矿概念的矿产品资源评估进行重大升级。这些新的钻探结果遵循5月发布的类似试金结果。
The 2023-2024 drill program has identified multiple, new, high-grade lithium zones beyond the planned pit shell model, with intercepts at thicker and higher grades than previously encountered. Mineralization within the pit shell model has shown continuity and consistency in grade and thickness. An additional 30,000 meters of exploration drilling at NAL is planned for 2024.
2023-2024钻探计划确定了多个新的高品位锂区域，超出了计划的开采模型，截获的井段变厚、品位更高。坑壳模型中的矿化体表现出坚实的连续性和一致性。NAL计划在2024年进行额外的3万米探矿钻井。
NAL is the largest lithium operation in North America and is jointly owned by Piedmont (25%) and Sayona Mining Limited (75%). The operation has continued to achieve quarterly record spodumene concentrate volumes since restarting production in March 2023 and is targeting steady-state production in H2 2024.
NAL是北美最大的锂矿业，由Piedmont（25％）和Sayona Mining Limited（75％）共同拥有。自2023年3月恢复生产以来，该矿在生产高品位的碳酸锂浓缩物方面已经连续实现季度记录。目标在2024年下半年实现稳态生产。
"The latest drill results underscore the importance of North American Lithium as the only lithium mine in North America producing IRA-compliant spodumene concentrate," said Keith Phillips, President and Chief Executive Officer of Piedmont Lithium. "The continued positive results of the NAL drill program demonstrate the potential of this highly strategic asset, and we look forward to a future update to the mineral resource estimate both in terms of mineral resource quantity and classification."
“最新的钻探结果凸显了North American Lithium作为北美唯一生产符合IRA标准的碳酸锂浓缩物的锂矿山的重要性，”Piedmont Lithium的总裁兼首席执行官Keith Phillips说。“NAL钻探计划持续的正面结果展示了这个高度战略性资产的潜力，我们期待在矿物资源的数量和分类方面对矿产品的资源评估进行升级。”
