AJN Resources Inc. Intersects an 80-100m Wide Pegmatitic Zone With Visual Lithium Minerals at Its Manono Northeast Project, Tanganyika Province, DRC.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 3, 2024) - AJN Resources Inc. (CSE: AJN) (FSE: 5AT) (AJN or the Company) is pleased to announce that the Company's recent drilling program has intersected a highly weathered, 80 to 100m wide pegmatitic zone in granite on its Manono Northeast Project (PR 15282) that is clearly identified in two diamond drill holes completed on Line 4800N as shown in Figure 1. Spodumene and minor lepidolite mineralisation were identified in each of the diamond drill holes. The pegmatitic zone is flat dipping to the southeast and exposed over a minimum of 300m at surface as interpreted from reverse circulation (RC) drilling shown in section in Figure 2. Both diamond drill holes were stopped at the intersection of an interpreted intrusive sill, which was also intersected in the RC drill holes on lines 2800N and 4800N. It is likely that the sill intruded at a later stage within or at the base of the pegmatitic zone, the former suggesting broader widths of pegmatite can be expected below the intrusive. The drilling programme has been stopped and will recommence once all drill results have been received, which will guide the infill drilling programme going forward.
温哥华,不列颠哥伦比亚省--(新闻稿 - 2024年7月3日) - AJN 资源公司 (CSE: AJN) (FSE: 5AT) 很高兴地宣布,公司最近的钻探计划在其 Manono 东北项目 (所有板块) 中的花岗岩上,已经与一个高度风化的80至100米宽的钾长花岗岩带相交,如图1所示,其在4800N线上完成的两个金刚石钻孔中清晰地显示出来。两个金刚石钻孔中都发现了锂辉石和小量云母矿化。从逆循环钻探(请参考图2所示的剖面)中解释,这个钾长花岗岩带向东南翻平,露出一个至少300米的表面。两个钻孔都停在了一个被解释为侵入的岩体的交叉处,这个侵入的岩体还出现在2800N和4800N行的逆循环钻探中。很可能这个 sill 在钾长花岗岩带的内部或底部后期侵入,前者暗示着更宽的钾长花岗岩带可望在侵入下面。钻探计划已经停止,并将在收到所有化验结果后重新开始,这些结果将指导以后的补充钻探计划。AJN或公司很高兴地宣布,本公司在马诺诺东北项目上的最近钻孔计划中,在花岗岩中穿过了一块面积为80到10000万的高度风化的柱状花岗岩带。PR 15282两个金刚石钻孔中都发现了锂辉石和少量云母矿化。钾长花岗岩带向东南翻平,在地表露出至少300米,并在地质剖面图中显示,如图2所示。RC两个钻孔都停在一个被解释为侵入的石英二长玢岩的交叉处,这个侵入的石英二长玢岩也出现在2800N和4800N行的逆循环钻探中。很可能这个 sill 在钾长花岗岩带的内部或底部后期侵入,前者暗示着更宽的钾长花岗岩带可望在侵入下面。

CEO and President Klaus Eckhof commented: "We are extremely excited that our drilling has uncovered a significant pegmatitic zone on the same trend as the high-grade lithium resources at Manono on our Manono Northeast Project. The zone lies in a similar geological setting to the Manono pegmatites being close to the granite contact and flat dipping to the southeast. We are further encouraged by the apparent occurrence of spodumene, which we expect will be confirmed via deeper drilling below the weathered zone and from assay results. The drilling has now brought us to the end of our due diligence phase and once all results have been reported, the Company expects that it will be in a good position to commit to the project and proceed to earn its initial 60% project interest."
首席执行官兼总统 Klaus Eckhof 评论道:我们非常高兴地发现,在我们的马诺诺东北项目上钻探出了一个显著的柱状岩带,这个岩带与马诺诺高品位锂资源的走向相同。该区域处于类似于马诺诺岩脉的地质环境中,靠近花岗岩接触带,向东南方向平坦倾斜。我们更加鼓舞人心的是发现了锂辉石的存在,我们预计通过更深的钻孔和化验结果将会进一步确认。现在我们已经完成了尽职调查阶段,一旦所有结果得到报告,公司有望承诺该项目,并着手开始赚取其60%项目权益。
Fifteen RC drill holes were completed for 982m, two diamond drill holes for 282m and 83 rotary air blast (RAB) drill holes for 1,313m. The RC and diamond drill holes were designed to follow up on prospective areas identified in the RAB drilling, interpreted to coincide with the continuation of the Manono pegmatites onto PR 15282. The Company's RC and diamond drilling work has tested 2km of potential extension of these pegmatites at two different locations. Only quartz with grain sizes varying from medium to blocky was recovered within in the RC drilling programme and is interpreted to represent the pegmatite zone, which is highly weathered in the upper 50 - 60m zone and is shown in section in Figure 2. The Company expects that the extent of mineralised pegmatites will be better defined from reported assay results when received. Granites were clearly identified at shallow levels when present in both the RC and RAB drilling.
15个 RC 钻孔完成了 982 米,2个金刚石钻孔完成了 282 米和 83 个旋转气力(RAB)钻孔完成了 1,313 米。RC 钻孔和金刚石钻孔旨在跟进与 Manono Pegmatites 带上有关的前景区域,这些区域经过解释与 PR 15282 上的主 Manono Pegmatites 延伸相一致。该公司的 RC 钻探和金刚石钻探工作,在两个不同的位置测试了这些钾长花岗岩带潜在延伸的 2km。只有从中/粗和块状的石英在 RC 钻探计划中恢复,据推断,这些石英代表的是钾长花岗岩带,在上部的 50-60 米中高度风化,并在 Figure 2 中以剖面显示。预计获得的化验结果将更好地定义矿化钾长花岗岩的范围。当出现时,花岗岩在 RC 钻探和 RAB 钻探中在浅层明确地被识别出来。83个旋转气力(RAB)钻孔

Spodumene was identified within the weathered drill core as shown in Figure 3. The property's true lithium potential is expected to be realised in future drilling, which will target fresh, unweathered pegmatites at deeper levels.
如图3所示,在风化的钻孔岩芯中发现了锂辉石。该物业的真正锂潜力预计将在未来的钻孔中实现,将针对更深层的新鲜未风化的柱状岩体。公司计划在马诺诺东北项目上进行额外的工作计划,该项目具有与马诺诺锂产出相似的特点。未来需要进行更深入的钻探计划,以在深处穿过潜在的新鲜柱状岩体。

One RC hole, KLRC015, which was drilled under alluvial artisanal workings on line 1000N (Figure 1), intersected 25m of massive quartz from surface. Results from grab samples collected from the workings reported lithium grades of up to 0.04% lithium and up to 0.18% tin in highly weathered pegmatite boulders. The assay results and abundance of quartz in the drill chips suggest a second pegmatite zone potentially exists within granites to the east of the interpreted continuation of the main Manono pegmatites.
KLRC015孔钻进了位于1000N线上全uvial artisanal workings下的区域,从表层起钻探出25米厚的紧密石英。从工作中收集的抓样结果显示,高度风化的钾长花岗岩石块中的锂品位高达0.04%,锡品位高达0.18%。化验结果和钻屑中石英的丰富程度表明,在主要的 Manono 钾长花岗岩带向东的花岗岩中,可能存在第二个钾长花岗岩带。
All samples are currently being prepared and will be submitted to COAL laboratories in Lubumbashi for sample preparation with a 100g sample to be sent to ALS Global in Ireland for analysis. Assay results are due within the next 4-6 weeks.
目前所有样品正在准备,并将提交到位于卢本巴希的 COAL 实验室进行样品制备,将送到爱尔兰的 ALS Global 进行分析。化验结果预计将在接下来的4-6周内出具。
The Company intends to plan additional work programmes on its Manono Northeast Project, which has similar hallmarks to the Manono lithium occurrences. A future deeper drilling programme is required to intersect potential fresh pegmatite at depth.
公司计划在其马诺诺东北项目上制定额外的工作计划,该项目具有类似于马诺诺锂产出的特征。未来需要进行更深入的钻探计划,以在深处穿过潜在的新鲜柱状岩体。
