Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 5, 2024) - Newpath Resources Inc. (CSE: PATH) (FSE: 0MZ) (OTC PINK: RDYFF) ("Newpath" or the "Company") is pleased to provide the following update in response to shareholder enquiries regarding drill results from Metal Energy Corp.'s ("Metal Energy") Source Rock Lithium Brine Project.

不列顛哥倫比亞省溫哥華--(Newsfile Corp.,2024年3月5日)——Newpath Resources Inc.(CSE:PATH)(FSE:0MZ)(場外交易代碼:RDYFF)(“Newpath” 或 “公司”)很高興提供以下最新情況,以回應股東對金屬能源公司鑽探結果的詢問。s (”金屬能量“) Source Rock 鋰鹽水項目。

  • Newpath's Alpha/Bravo Project is located immediately south and contiguous to Metal Energy's Source Rock Lithium Brine Project (See map below).
  • Historic drilling on both projects encountered strong evidence of distinct evaporite bedforms (salt, gypsum) in the basal Pass Lake Member of the Proterozoic Sibley Group, often associated with higher clay content.
  • Also noted was another interval of salty brine laden "sandstone" higher in the Sibley Group.
  • Both units could be identified in airborne and ground electromagnetic surveys, though most often in hindsight, and were never targeted. Formational waters were left un-analysed and cored Pass Lake rocks incompletely or not sampled.
  • Based upon limited, scattered historic drilling at Alpha/Bravo the depth from surface to the Pass Lake member is up to 325 metres.
  • Lake sediment samples in the area are notably anomalous in lithium, the cause of which is not known.
  • Newpath的Alpha/Bravo項目位於緊靠南部,毗鄰金屬能源的Source Rock鋰鹽水項目(見下圖)。
  • 這兩個項目的歷史性鑽探都發現了有力的證據,表明元古代西布利組的基底帕斯湖成員中存在明顯的蒸發岩牀型(鹽、石膏),通常與較高的粘土含量有關。
  • 還注意到西布利集團中又一段時間出現了充滿鹹鹽水的 “砂岩”。
  • 這兩個單位都可以在空中和地面電磁測量中被識別,儘管通常是事後看來,而且從未成爲攻擊目標。地層水未經過分析,Pass Lake岩石的岩石不完整或沒有采樣。
  • 根據在Alpha/Bravo進行的有限的、分散的歷史鑽探,從地表到帕斯湖成員的深度可達325米。
  • 該地區的湖泊沉積物樣本中鋰含量明顯異常,其原因尚不清楚。

During the 2023 field season, Newpath conducted exploration for lithium-bearing pegmatites south and west of the Sibley sedimentary cover.

在 2023 年的野外活動季節,Newpath 對西布利沉積覆蓋層以南和以西的含鋰偉晶岩進行了勘探。

Historical Perspective

歷史視角

Mineral exploration in this part of Ontario area dates to the late 19th century when silver was discovered in veins along the shores and on islands of Lake Superior. Next came amethyst, now the official gemstone of the province of Ontario, found in veins along with lesser amounts of lead, silver and rarely, uranium mineralization. Amethyst mining is on-going in the region, and new occurrences are still being discovered, including at Alpha/Bravo. Geological studies reported in 1931 both defined the Sibley Group, recognized it distinctive mineralization, and noted the numerous salt licks and saline springs in the region.

安大略省這一地區的礦產勘探可以追溯到19世紀末,當時在蘇必利爾湖沿岸和島嶼的礦脈中發現了銀。接下來是紫水晶,它現在是安大略省的官方寶石,存在於礦脈中,鉛和銀的含量也較少,鈾礦化很少。該地區正在開採紫水晶,仍在發現新的礦點,包括在Alpha/Bravo。1931年報告的地質研究既定義了西布利集團,承認了其獨特的礦化作用,也指出了該地區衆多的鹽巖和鹽泉。

Several waves of uranium exploration in the 1970's through into the mid-2000's focused in on Alpha/Bravo and adjoining claims. This was driven by geological similarities between the Proterozoic geology of the Sibley Group/ Silver Islet area and the Athabasca Group/Uranium City and the Hornby Group/Port Radium regions as well as other productive belts in Africa, Australia, and Asia. Historical exploration followed procedures and techniques that were developed in the Athabasca Basin and remain the standard approach today- Detailed electromagnetic and magnetic surveys, sensitive gravity measurements and survey-controlled or directional core drilling was undertaken. Though uranium mineralization was encountered in the underlying Quetico nothing of major economic interest was found. Exploration interest flagged and dollars disappeared.

從20世紀70年代到2000年代中期,幾波鈾勘探浪潮都集中在Alpha/Bravo和相關索賠上。這是由西布利組/銀島地區的元古代地質學與阿薩巴斯卡集團/鈾城和霍恩比集團/雷迪姆港地區以及非洲、澳大利亞和亞洲其他產區之間的地質相似性推動的。歷史勘探遵循了阿薩巴斯卡盆地開發的程序和技術,至今仍是標準方法——進行了詳細的電磁和磁力測量、靈敏的重力測量以及測繪控制或定向岩心鑽探。儘管在地下Quetico遇到了鈾礦化,但沒有發現任何具有重大經濟利益的東西。勘探興趣減弱,美元消失。

However, drill geologists noted that certain intervals of the drill cores tasted salty and it was postulated that the Sibley Basin hosted saline brines and perhaps preserved beds of salt and gypsum. In hindsight, workers re-examined the electromagnetic surveys and realized that there were conductive domains that were best explained by layers of intraformational brine, preserved undisturbed for over a billion years.

但是,鑽探地質學家指出,鑽芯的某些間隔有鹹味,據推測,西布利盆地含有鹽水,可能還有保存完好的鹽和石膏牀。事後看來,工人們重新檢查了電磁測量,發現有些傳導域最能解釋的就是層內鹽水,不受干擾地保存了超過十億年。

Geological reconstructions suggest that the host rocks were derived from erosion of pre-existing rocks to the north, east and west, geological terranes known to host deposits of lithium in granitic LCT pegmatites. As proposed in several lithium producing regions of the world, they may owe their lithium endowment to the movement of hydrothermal waters that leach alkali metals, taking them into solution and then becoming trapped in adjacent sedimentary basins.

地質重建表明,宿主岩石源自北部、東部和西部先前存在的岩石的侵蝕,這些地質地形已知在花崗岩LCT偉晶岩中含有鋰的沉積物。正如世界上幾個鋰產區所提議的那樣,它們的鋰天賦可能歸因於熱液的流動,這些熱液會滲出鹼金屬,將其帶入溶液,然後被困在鄰近的沉積盆地中。

Historical interpretations of the electromagnetic surveys suggest that Alpha/Bravo covers a significant portion of the possible "brine field", sharing this anomaly with adjoining properties. Newpath remains attentive to continuing developments, including the brine potential, but also uranium, given the current resurgence of interest in secure sources of uranium that is being accompanied by rising spot prices for uranium.

對電磁調查的歷史解釋表明,Alpha/Bravo覆蓋了可能的 “鹽水場” 的很大一部分,這種異常與相鄰的特性相同。鑑於目前人們對安全的鈾來源的興趣重新抬頭,伴隨着鈾現貨價格的上漲,Newpath仍然關注持續的發展,包括鹽水的潛力,還有鈾的潛力。

Newpath's Alpha/Bravo Project covers 640 square kilometers of prime exploration ground situated north of Lake Superior, 45 km northeast of Thunder Bay, Ontario. The property is transected by electrical power transmission lines, a natural gas pipeline and a network of forestry roads accessed by a four-lane divided highway on the south and a paved secondary highway on the west.

Newpath的Alpha/Bravo項目覆蓋了640平方公里的主要勘探地,位於蘇必利爾湖以北,安大略省桑德貝東北45公里處。該物業由輸電線路、天然氣管道和林業道路網絡橫穿其中,南部有一條四車道的分隔高速公路,西部有一條鋪好的二級高速公路。
