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:
阿根廷布宜諾斯艾利斯/ACCESSWIRE/2023年10月16日/Noa Li Brines Inc.(多倫多證券交易所股票代碼:N7N)(“Noa“或”公司)很高興地報告RG23-003鹵水樣品的鋰離子檢測結果呈陽性,RG23-003是其裡奧格蘭德專案第一階段鑽石鑽探專案的第三個孔(格蘭德河“或”專案)。這個洞是在薩拉爾境內鑽的,大約6公里(公里)在RG23-002孔西北,在專案地表沙拉爾的Cristina索賠處,並與一條高品位鋰(李“)從只有15米深的井下開始的相當厚的鹵水含水層(”M“)。重點包括:
- 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。
- 從地表以下只有15米的淺層開始開採鹵水含水層,在裡奧格蘭德遇到了迄今為止最厚的高品位截流。
- 在250米處,Li的最高濃度為785毫克/L。
- 鑽井深度達676米,這是據報道在裡奧格蘭德發現的最深的滲透性鹵水。
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的首席執行官加布裡埃爾·魯巴查表示:我們的第三個勘探孔提供了迄今為止最好的鑽探結果,證實了裡奧格蘭德專案的潛力。這個洞的出色結果,加上我們前兩個洞截獲的高品位鹵水,提供了穩定的高鋰濃度鹵水,預計將有助於物質資源,這證實了我們可以在裡奧格蘭德的資產中開發一個重大專案。我們的第四個洞已經在格蘭德河東北部的El Camino地產開始。現場調動了兩個鑽井平臺,我們仍將按計劃在2024年上半年對該專案進行首次資源評估。
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孔是用鑽石鑽探(HQ-SIZE)完成的,可以提取薩拉爾盆地地層的岩心樣品,並在可能的情況下收集鹵水樣品。鑽井是由總部位於薩爾塔的Hidrotec S.A.在NOA地質學家的監督下進行的。
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.
根據封隔器測試,+600米井的幾乎整個深度都返回了鹽水飽和單元,除了幾米厚的精選層位。
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.
第一階段鑽探計劃為六個孔,旨在於2024年初為裡奧格蘭德專案提供首次礦產資源評估。RG23-003的位置如圖1所示。

Sample Analysis & QA/QC Program
樣品分析和QA/QC計劃
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.
公司擁有強大的QA/QC和樣品管理計劃。鹽水樣品由單/雙封隔器系統(井內充氣)採集,以隔離鑽井中的特定層段。封隔器取樣方法允許在特定深度採集鹵水樣品,同時封堵井段頂部和底部的孔。封隔器系統在鑽井後多次沖洗井眼,在取樣前清除/清理井眼,每段採集四個樣品(主樣、復樣、檢查樣、備用樣)。目前洩漏口的鑽孔垂直傾斜(90度),薩拉爾地層據信是平躺的,因此報告的間隔接近真實厚度。
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.
鹵水樣本通過快遞提交給SGS阿根廷公司,SGS阿根廷公司是SGS國際公司的當地子公司,SGS國際公司是一家經認可的鋰和其他元素分析實驗室。SGS採用電感耦合等離子體發射光譜分析技術對感興趣的主要成分進行分析,包括:硼、鈣、鉀、鋰和鎂。野外測量包括pH值、電導率、溫度和密度。通過包括在樣品序列中的空白、重複和標準樣品的協定來控制和評估樣品分析結果的質量。標準樣品和空白樣品的原始和複製樣品以及結果之間的差異被認為在鋰的可接受範圍內。
