Piedmont Lithium Uncovers High-Grade Lithium Zones in Quebec, New Drill Results Boost Piedmont Lithium's Resource Potential at NAL
Piedmont Lithium ("Piedmont" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:PLL, ASX: PLL))))), a leading North American supplier of lithium products critical to the U.S. electric vehicle supply chain, today announced that additional high-grade drill results at North American Lithium ("NAL") in Quebec continue to demonstrate the potential for a significant upgrade to the mineral resource estimate. These new drill results follow similar assay results released in May 2024.
北美領先的鋰供應商Piedmont Lithium（“Piedmont”或“公司”）（納斯達克：PLL，ASX：PLL）今天宣佈，在魁北克的North American Lithium（“NAL”）獲得的額外高品位鑽探結果持續表明可能對涉礦概念的礦產品資源評估進行重大升級。這些新的鑽探結果遵循5月發佈的類似試金結果。
The 2023-2024 drill program has identified multiple, new, high-grade lithium zones beyond the planned pit shell model, with intercepts at thicker and higher grades than previously encountered. Mineralization within the pit shell model has shown continuity and consistency in grade and thickness. An additional 30,000 meters of exploration drilling at NAL is planned for 2024.
2023-2024鑽探計劃確定了多個新的高品位鋰區域，超出了計劃的開採模型，截獲的井段變厚、品位更高。坑殼模型中的礦化體表現出堅實的連續性和一致性。NAL計劃在2024年進行額外的3萬米探礦鑽井。
NAL is the largest lithium operation in North America and is jointly owned by Piedmont (25%) and Sayona Mining Limited (75%). The operation has continued to achieve quarterly record spodumene concentrate volumes since restarting production in March 2023 and is targeting steady-state production in H2 2024.
NAL是北美最大的鋰礦業，由Piedmont（25％）和Sayona Mining Limited（75％）共同擁有。自2023年3月恢復生產以來，該礦在生產高品位的碳酸鋰濃縮物方面已經連續實現季度記錄。目標在2024年下半年實現穩態生產。
"The latest drill results underscore the importance of North American Lithium as the only lithium mine in North America producing IRA-compliant spodumene concentrate," said Keith Phillips, President and Chief Executive Officer of Piedmont Lithium. "The continued positive results of the NAL drill program demonstrate the potential of this highly strategic asset, and we look forward to a future update to the mineral resource estimate both in terms of mineral resource quantity and classification."
“最新的鑽探結果凸顯了North American Lithium作爲北美唯一生產符合IRA標準的碳酸鋰濃縮物的鋰礦山的重要性，”Piedmont Lithium的總裁兼首席執行官Keith Phillips說。“NAL鑽探計劃持續的正面結果展示了這個高度戰略性資產的潛力，我們期待在礦物資源的數量和分類方面對礦產品的資源評估進行升級。”
