THUNDER BAY, ON, Oct. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - Clean Air Metals Inc. ("Clean Air Metals" or the "Company") (TSXV: AIR) (FRA: CKU) (OTCQB: CLRMF) is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Geoff Heggie, P.Geo. as Exploration Manager and a Qualified Person for the Company's Thunder Bay North Project. Dr. Heggie replaces Mr. Allan MacTavish, M.Sc., P.Geo. who has retired from fulltime duties as Vice President, Project Manager, and will continue with the Company in a non-executive consulting capacity.
安大略省桑德湾，2021年10月6日/美通社/--Clean Air Metals Inc.(以下简称“Clean Air Metals”或“公司”)(多伦多证券交易所股票代码：AIR)(法兰克福机场股票代码：CKU)(场外交易市场代码：CLRMF)高兴地宣布任命Geo.作为勘探经理和公司雷湾北部项目的合格人员。赫吉博士接替艾伦·麦克塔维什先生，M.Sc，P.Geo。他已从副总裁、项目经理的全职职责中退休，并将以非执行顾问的身份继续在公司工作。
Dr. Heggie worked on the Thunder Bay North Project previously for 7 years. He earned his BSc in Geology at the University of Saskatchewan, his MSc at Lakehead University and his PhD at the University of Western Australia. Most recently with Noront Resources, Geoff is an expert in Ultramafic/Mafic magmatic systems. Previously as Senior Geologist at Noront, systematic integration of geology and geophysics by the Noront team was typified by the discovery of the McFaulds No. 8 VMS lenses of the Nikka deposit during Geoff's tenure.
赫吉博士之前在桑德湾北部项目工作了7年。他在萨斯喀彻温大学获得地质学学士学位，在莱克黑德大学获得硕士学位，在西澳大利亚大学获得博士学位。最近在Noront Resources工作的Geoff是超镁铁质/镁铁质岩浆系统方面的专家。在担任Noront的高级地质学家之前，Noront团队在Geoff任职期间发现了尼卡矿床的McFaulds 8号VMS透镜体，将地质和地球物理进行了系统的整合。
New assay results are from the drilling campaign presently underway at the Company's Thunder Bay North Project (the "Project"). Assay highlights (from Table 1) include:
新的化验结果来自公司雷湾北部项目(“该项目”)目前正在进行的钻探活动。化验要点(见表1)包括：
-- Hole ELR21-079 from the Escape Lake Deposit (Figure 1) which intersected 21.3m grading 4.80g/t Palladium Equivalents (PdEq)1 composed of 1.64g/t Platinum (Pt), 1.97g/t Palladium (Pd), 0.66% Copper (Cu), 0.23% Nickel (Ni) from 388.7m-410.0m downhole including 7.5m grading 6.80g/t PdEq composed of 2.46 g/t Platinum (Pt), 2.94g/t Palladium (Pd), 0.96% Copper (Cu), 0.26% Nickel (Ni) from 400.5m-408.0m downhole (Figure 1).

Update on Metallurgy and PEA
冶金与PEA的最新进展
Metallurgical optimization studies continue with Blue Coast Research of British Columbia. The results of the metallurgical studies on drill core-derived bulk sample material and independent analysis of smelter recoveries and smelter payables are expected to input directly into a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) mine cash flow model planned for publication in early Q4/2021.
不列颠哥伦比亚省蓝色海岸研究中心继续进行冶金优化研究。钻芯衍生大宗样品材料的冶金研究结果以及冶炼厂回收率和冶炼厂应付款的独立分析预计将直接输入计划于2021年第四季度初发表的初步经济评估(PEA)矿山现金流模型。
Abraham Drost, CEO of Clean Air Metals stated that "we are very pleased to welcome Dr. Geoff Heggie to the Clean Air Metals team. Geoff's prior experience at the Thunder Bay North Project with predecessor companies and his innate expertise in magmatic systems gained in a variety of geological settings is accretive to the team. We look forward with Geoff and team to unlocking the full potential of the Escape and Current chonolith deposits and locating the source of high-grade massive sulphide occurrences within the system.
Clean Air Metals首席执行官Abraham Drost表示：“我们非常高兴欢迎Geoff Heggie博士加入Clean Air Metals团队。Geoff之前在雷湾北部项目中与前身公司合作的经验以及他在各种地质环境中获得的岩浆系统方面的固有专业知识对团队有很大的帮助。我们期待着与Geoff和他的团队一起挖掘Escape和当前球粒陨石矿床的全部潜力，并在该系统内找到高品位块状硫化物矿床的来源。
We are grateful to Al MacTavish for his 14-year tenure with the Project and his considerable contributions from early discovery to present. We are pleased that, although stepping back to enjoy time with family and lead geology field trips to exotic locales like Iceland and Hawaii, Al has agreed to continue on a consulting basis to work on geological studies relevant to exploration of the Thunder Bay North Project.
我们感谢阿尔·麦克塔维什在该项目工作了14年，并感谢他从早期发现到现在做出的巨大贡献。我们感到高兴的是，尽管艾尔退后一步与家人共度时光，并领导地质实地考察，前往冰岛和夏威夷等充满异国情调的地方，但他已同意在咨询的基础上继续从事与ThunderBay North项目勘探相关的地质研究工作。
The Company is looking forward to publication of a PEA in Q4/21. As with the mineral resource estimate published in March 2021, the PEA will be based on a ramp-access underground mine model constraining the existing mineral resource. In addition to the Current Lake Deposit, the potential to add scale to the Thunder Bay North Project with future feed from the Escape Lake Deposit is potentially accretive to the project."
该公司期待着在第四季度/21季度发布PEA。与2021年3月公布的矿产资源评估一样，PEA将基于限制现有矿产资源的坡道进入地下采矿模型。除了目前的湖泊矿藏外，未来从Escape Lake矿藏获得的饲料将有可能增加桑德湾北部项目的规模，这对该项目具有潜在的增值作用。“
