Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 10, 2023) - Li3 Lithium Corp. (TSXV: LILI) (FSE: WD9) ("Li3 Lithium" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has identified lithium mineralization over 1.2 kilometer strike at the Nels Luck pegmatite target from its ongoing exploration program at the Mutare Lithium Project, located in Zimbabwe. Li3 Lithium holds a 50% operating ownership interest in the Mutare Lithium Project, with the remaining 50% owned by Premier African Minerals Limited, operator of the Zulu Lithium and Tantalum Mine in Zimbabwe.

安大略省多倫多-(Newsfile Corp.-2023年8月10日)-Li3 Lithium Corp.(TSXV:LILI)(FSE:WD9)(“鋰3鋰“或”公司“)很高興地宣佈,在位於津巴布韋的Mutare鋰專案正在進行的勘探專案中,已在Nels Luck偉晶巖目標的1.2公里處發現了鋰礦化。Li3 Lithium在Mutare鋰專案中擁有50%的運營所有權,其餘50%由津巴布韋Zulu鋰和鉭礦的運營商Premier African Minerals Limited擁有。

The Company has received assay results from 842 channel samples collected from trenches during the initial phase of the 2023 exploration program. The trenching program, currently focused on the Nels Luck area (Figure 1), which is situated in the Mutare Greenstone Belt ("MGB") East zone, is expected to assist in identifying priority targets for the upcoming 5,000-meter exploration drilling program scheduled to start in the coming weeks.

在2023年勘探計劃的初始階段,公司已經收到了從海溝收集的842個渠道樣本的分析結果。挖掘計劃目前主要集中在位於Mutare Greenstone Belt(“MGB”)東區的Nels Luck地區(圖1),預計將有助於為即將開始的5000米勘探鑽探計劃確定優先目標,該計劃定於未來幾周開始。

Highlights:

重點:

  • 2349m of trenches uncovered a 1.2 km long and up to 60m wide pegmatite(s) at Nels Luck
  • 842 samples taken from the trenches were sent for analysis in June and July
  • Highly anomalous results across the pegmatite including 36 m of 0.37% (3692ppm) Li2O
  • 2349米長的戰壕在內爾勒克發現了一塊長1.2公里、寬達60米的偉晶巖(S)
  • 6月份和7月份,從戰壕中採集了842個樣本進行分析
  • 偉晶巖的高度異常結果包括36米的0.37%(3692ppm)Li2.O

The trenching program consisted of 25 trenches for a total of 2349m (Table 1). A total of 598m of pegmatite was intersected in the trenches (Table 1, Table 2, Figures 2-4).

挖溝計劃由25條戰壕組成,總長度為2349米(表1)。海溝中共有598米的偉晶巖(表1,表2,圖2-4)。

The Nels Luck claims hosts a group of lepidolite, spodumene, and tantalite, bearing lithium-cesium-tantalum pegmatites with an approximate surface expression of 1200 meters by up to 100m (Figure 2-4). The Nels Luck group of claims is situated approximately 15 km northeast in the same stratigraphic package, on the southern limb of a regional syncline, that hosts the Sabi Star Lithium Tantalum Mine.

Nels Luck聲稱擁有一組鋰雲母、鋰輝石和鉭鐵礦,它們含有鋰銫鉭偉晶巖,其表面表達式大約為1200米乘100米(圖2-4)。Nels Luck群位於同一地層組東北約15公里處,位於一個區域向斜層的南側,那裡有Sabi Star Lithium Tantalum礦。

François Auclair, P.Geo, M.Sc., CEO and President of Li3 Lithium commented, "The trenching program conducted by Li3 Lithium has confirmed wide, well-developed pegmatite lithium mineralization at the Mutare Lithium Project, which remains open at depth and along strike. Initial assay results from the first-half of the 2023 trenching and surface sampling programs are promising given that the Nels Luck area of the Mutare Lithium Project is just 15km from the world-class Sabi Star Lithium Tantalum Mine. A phase one diamond drilling program, up to 5,000 meters targeting the Nels Luck area, is scheduled to commence in the coming weeks as we begin to define the grade, thickness, and spatial continuity of the pegmatite trends."

Li3鋰公司首席執行官兼首席執行官總裁的FrçOis Auclair,P.Geo,M.Sc表示:“Li3鋰公司實施的挖槽計劃證實了Mutare鋰專案廣泛、發育良好的偉晶巖型鋰礦化,該專案在深度和走向上仍處於開放狀態。鑑於Mutare鋰專案的Nels Luck地區距離世界級的Sabi Star鋰鉭礦只有15公里,2023年上半年挖溝和地面採樣計劃的初步化驗結果是有希望的。針對Nels Luck地區的第一階段鑽石鑽探計劃計劃在未來幾周內開始,我們將開始確定偉晶巖趨勢的品位、厚度和空間連續性。

Discussion
Lithium minerals decompose readily in the weathering tropical environment. Lithium-ions are too small to effectively fill the octahedral site (in which lithium is bonded to six oxygen atoms) in spodumene, amblygonite-montebrasite and lithiophilite-triphylite, at near-surface conditions (London D, 2017)[1] . Therefore, lithium is frequently leached away when the pegmatite is subject to weathering. It is likely that the moderately anomalous Li2O trenching results were due to the pegmatites sampled in the trenches at Nels Luck being moderate to strongly weathered, especially compared to the relatively fresh grab samples taken in May.

討論
鋰礦物在風化的熱帶環境中很容易分解。在近地表條件下,鋰離子太小,不能有效地填充鋰輝石、斜長石-二長石和鋰離子-三葉巖中的八面體位置(鋰與六個氧原子相連)(倫敦D,2017)[1]。因此,當偉晶巖受到風化時,鋰經常被淋濾掉。Li2O海溝中等異常的結果很可能是由於在Nels Luck海溝中採集的偉晶巖具有中等到強烈的風化作用,特別是與5月份採集的相對新鮮的抓取樣品相比。

Mutare Lithium Project, Zimbabwe
The Mutare Lithium Project is located in eastern Zimbabwe's Mutare Greenstone Belt, an emerging lithium district. The Company is evaluating the acquisition of additional prospective ground, either through staking or agreements with potential vendors. The area was deemed prospective for lithium-cesium-tantalum pegmatites based on prior target generation work. Management believes the lithium exploration potential of the MGB is analogous to that of the Pilbara Craton pegmatites in Western Australia.

津巴布韋Mutare鋰專案
穆塔雷鋰專案位於津巴布韋東部的穆塔雷綠巖帶,這是一個新興的鋰區。該公司正在評估通過標售或與潛在賣家達成協定來收購更多預期的土地。根據之前的靶代工作,該地區被認為是鋰銫鉭偉晶巖的遠景。管理層認為,MGB的鋰勘探潛力類似於西澳大利亞的皮爾巴拉克拉通偉晶巖。

Zimbabwe, which is estimated to hold Africa's largest lithium resources and the fifth largest globally, is rapidly emerging as an important player within the lithium supply chain. Over the past year and a half, major Chinese battery metals companies have committed approximately US$1.4 billion to acquire and develop lithium projects in Zimbabwe.

據估計,津巴布韋擁有非洲最大的鋰資源和全球第五大鋰資源,正迅速成為鋰供應鏈中的重要參與者。在過去的一年半裡,中國主要的電池金屬公司已經承諾了大約14億美元來收購和開發津巴布韋的鋰專案。

Technical information
Quality Assurance and Quality Control of Li3 Lithium's trenching and sampling programs are under the control of the Company's geological employees and are consistent with industry best practices. One blank (cement) and one standard (AMIS-0565, or AMIS-0656, or AMIS-0355) is inserted as samples every 20 samples (18 rock samples, one CRM, one blank). Trenching samples are transported by Li3 Lithium's employees following a defined chain of custody, to Zimlabs in Harare, Zimbabwe. All samples were pulverized to produce a 30g charge and then analyzed by G706 (multi acid digestion with AAS finish). Zimlabs is a subsidiary of GNK laboratories and is internationally accredited laboratory testing provider with ISO/IEC 17025:2005 certification (Laboratory Accreditation Number: TEST-S 0010 (lSO/lEC t7025:20t7l).

The Company has sent all of the pulp of the grab and trench samples for analysis of Niobium (Nb), Tantalum (Ta), and Caesium (Cs) to SGS Johannesburg. Results are pending.

該公司已將所有用於分析Nb(Nb)、Ta(Ta)和Cs(Cs)的抓鬥和海溝樣本送往約翰內斯堡SGS。結果尚待公佈。

About Li3 Lithium Corp.
Li3 Lithium is focused on acquiring and developing hard rock spodumene lithium assets in Zimbabwe and Argentina, where the founders have significant experience and relationships. As evidenced by recent market growth, hard rock lithium deposits are forecast to continue to dominate the global supply of lithium given the scarcity, complexity and capex-intensive nature of alternative brine sources.

Li3 Lithium公司簡介
Li3 Lithium專注於收購和開發津巴布韋和阿根廷的硬巖鋰輝石鋰資產,這兩個國家的創始人擁有豐富的經驗和關係。最近的市場增長證明,鑑於替代鹵水來源的稀缺性、複雜性和資本支出密集型性質,預計硬巖鋰礦將繼續主導全球鋰的供應。
