Canter Samples 430 Ppm Lithium, Acquires Historical Third-Party Data and Completes Data Integration at Columbus
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 18, 2024) - Canter Resources Corp. (CSE: CRC) (OTC Pink: CNRCF) (FSE: 6O1) ("Canter" or the "Company") is pleased to report that the Company has acquired additional third-party data including historical soil sampling results and geophysical survey data that highlights significant lithium in soils along the eastern edge of the 5 by 2.5 km priority target area at the Columbus Lithium-Boron Project ("Columbus" or the "Project").
不列顛哥倫比亞省溫哥華--(Newsfile Corp.-2024 年 3 月 18 日)- Canter Resources Corp.(CSE:CRC)(場外交易粉紅:CNRCF)(FSE:6O1) (”慢跑“或者”公司“)高興地向大家報告,該公司已經獲得了更多的第三方數據,包括歷史土壤採樣結果和地球物理調查數據,這些數據突出顯示了哥倫布鋰硼項目(“哥倫布” 或 “項目”)5 x 2.5 km優先目標區域東部邊緣的土壤中大量的鋰含量。
The acquisition of substantial third-party historical geochemical sampling data, alongside Canter's own database and sampling efforts, provides a comprehensive dataset within the 23,000-acre project area. This combined dataset includes 473 surface samples and reveals a maximum surface sediment lithium ("Li") value of 540 ppm Li. Analysis of the newly acquired third-party data shows an average concentration of 144 ppm Li across 54 surface sediment samples and multiple locations exceeding 200 ppm Li, with the highest value from the historical dataset reported at 348ppm Li. Additionally, previous surface brine samples reveal lithium concentrations reaching 240 mg/L. This extensive combined dataset highlights the basin's potential for near-surface lithium enrichment (see Table 1 and Figure 1).
收購大量的第三方歷史地球化學採樣數據,加上Canter自己的數據庫和採樣工作,爲這個佔地23,000英畝的項目區域提供了全面的數據集。該組合數據集包括473個表面樣本,顯示最大地表沉積物鋰(“Li”)值爲540 ppm Li。對新獲得的第三方數據的分析顯示,54個地表沉積物樣本和多個地點的平均濃度爲144 ppm Li,超過200 ppm Li,歷史數據集中報告的最高值爲348ppm Li。此外,先前的地表鹽水樣本顯示鋰濃度達到240 mg/L。這個廣泛的綜合數據集突顯了該盆地近地表富集鋰的潛力(見表1和圖1)。
The Company recently engaged renowned geophysicist, Jim Wright of Wright Geophysics, who completed reinterpretation of available geophysical data. The Company has also obtained airborne magnetic and radiometric data from the recently completed collaboration between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the Department of Energy (DOE) designed in part to support geologic and geophysical mapping and modeling of Nevada's lithium clay and brine resources (see Figure 2).
該公司最近聘請了著名的地球物理學家、萊特地球物理學的吉姆·賴特,他完成了對可用地球物理數據的重新解釋。該公司還從美國地質調查局(USGS)和能源部(DOE)最近完成的合作中獲得了機載磁學和輻射測量數據,部分合作旨在支持內華達州鋰粘土和鹽水資源的地質和地球物理測繪和建模(見圖2)。
"We have taken methodical low-cost steps to support our Phase I drilling at shallow and moderate depths while delineating additional targets throughout the 23,000-acre property package for subsequent campaigns," stated Joness Lang, CEO of Canter Resources. "We are actively updating our 3D model to integrate our expanded dataset and reprocessed geophysics. Initial observations continue to validate our Phase I program and highlight a significant brine target at Columbus."
Canter Resources首席執行官Joness Lang表示:“我們已經採取了有條不紊的低成本措施來支持我們在淺層和中等深度的第一階段鑽探,同時在23,000英畝的土地包中爲後續的活動確定了更多目標。”“我們正在積極更新我們的三維模型,以整合我們擴展的數據集和再處理的地球物理學。初步觀察繼續驗證我們的第一階段計劃,並凸顯了哥倫布的重要鹽水目標。”

During a recent trip to site, the Company's geologists completed a single, one metre (~three feet) deep auger hole approximately 500 metres east of the first planned exploration well at Columbus. The small portable auger rig was not suitable for reaching the interpreted upper brine layer depth; however, the Company still collected a sediment sample at the bottom of the test hole that returned a value of 430 ppm Li. The Company will test the upper brine layer during its upcoming Geoprobe campaign.
在最近的一次實地考察中,該公司的地質學家在哥倫布計劃中的第一口勘探井以東約500米處完成了一個深一米(約三英尺)的單個螺旋孔。小型便攜式螺旋鑽機不適合達到經解釋的上層鹽水層深度;但是,該公司仍在測試孔底部採集了沉積物樣本,其返回值爲430 ppm Li。該公司將在即將到來的Geoprobe活動中測試上層鹽水層。

The historical dataset was obtained from a reliable source and includes original lab assay certificates, GPS coordinates and detailed quality assurance / quality control protocols and technical reports, however, the Company is still treating this dataset as historical. The Company views this data as relevant from a targeting perspective and a guide for its own exploration model but not relying on the data for any other purpose. To further validate and augment this data, the Company will collect additional surface sediment and brine samples in the coming weeks, concurrently with its shallow Geoprobe drilling (see press release dated March 6, 2024).
歷史數據集是從可靠來源獲得的,包括原始實驗室化驗證書、GPS座標和詳細的質量保證/質量控制協議和技術報告,但是,該公司仍將該數據集視爲歷史數據。從目標角度來看,該公司認爲這些數據是相關的,也是其自身勘探模型的指南,但不將這些數據用於任何其他目的。爲了進一步驗證和增強這些數據,該公司將在未來幾周內收集更多的地表沉積物和鹽水樣本,同時進行淺層Geoprobe鑽探(見2024年3月6日的新聞稿)。
Reprocessing of historical gravity data, incorporating data from both regional and property-specific surveys, has identified a prominent gravity anomaly within the basin. This anomaly is indicative of a substantial layer of low-density sediment that may extend to depths exceeding 3,300 meters.
對歷史重力數據的再處理,結合來自區域和特定地產的調查數據,已發現盆地內存在明顯的重力異常。這種異常表明有一層低密度沉積物,其深度可能延伸到超過3,300米的深度。
Canter Resources has also integrated airborne magnetic and radiometric data from the USGS - DOE collaboration. This data, underpinned by a comprehensive reinterpretation by Wright Geophysics, has highlighted the intricate structural dynamics at play within the Columbus Basin. The detailed overlay of this geophysical data with our conceptual model of structural kinematics has not only affirmed the presence of a closed structural basin but has also sharpened understanding of the basin's geology.
Canter Resources還整合了來自美國地質調查局與美國能源部合作的機載磁學和輻射測量數據。這些數據以萊特地球物理學的全面重新解釋爲基礎,突顯了哥倫布盆地內部錯綜複雜的結構動力學。這些地球物理數據與我們的結構運動學概念模型的詳細疊加不僅證實了封閉結構盆地的存在,而且也加深了對盆地地質學的理解。

This synthesis of airborne magnetic survey data with structural interpretation provides a view into the basin's subsurface, revealing insights into fault orientations and movements. The analysis delineates the complex interplay of the Coaldale Fault, CSM Fault, and their interaction with the broader tectonic regimes of the Walker Lane and Mina Deflection, underscoring the basin's potential for lithium enrichment.
這種對機載磁測數據和結構解釋的綜合提供了盆地地下視圖,揭示了對斷層方向和運動的見解。該分析描繪了科爾代爾斷層、CSM斷層的複雜相互作用以及它們與沃克巷和米納偏轉等更廣泛的構造狀態的相互作用,突顯了該盆地富集鋰的潛力。

The sampling procedure for the Company's 430 ppm Li result involved auger drilling down to approximately three feet below the surface to penetrate the surface playa crust and access the underlying clay zone, which exhibited an olive green color change indicative of potential mineralogical variations. The collected sample was then analyzed at ALS in Reno, NV, employing the LiICP-61 protocol, a specialized test focused on lithium detection. This analysis utilized a four-acid digestion and ICP-AES finish with a low-temperature drying process designed to minimize the volatilization of lithium.
該公司430 ppm Li結果的採樣程序包括螺旋鑽向地表以下約三英尺處鑽探,穿透地表層地殼並進入底層粘土區域,該區域呈橄欖綠色變化,表明潛在的礦物學變化。然後,使用LiICP-61協議,在內華達州里諾的ALS對收集的樣本進行了分析,該協議是一項專門針對鋰檢測的測試。該分析採用四酸消解和 ICP-AES 表面處理,採用低溫乾燥工藝,旨在最大限度地減少鋰的揮發。
