Diamond Drill Program Commences on the PAK Rare Metals Project in Ontario
![Diamond Drill Program Commences on the PAK Rare Metals Project in Ontario](https://www.goldseiten.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
Houston Lake Mining Inc. (TSX.V: HLM), is a mining exploration
company which is actively exploring for the rare metals lithium, cesium,
tantalum, and rubidium by currently focusing on its 100% owned and
optioned PAK Rare Metals Project in northwestern Ontario, Canada. HLM is
pleased to announce the commencement of diamond drilling on the PAK Rare
Metals Project, located near Red Lake, Ontario. This initial phase I of
diamond drilling is follow-up to the 2012 PAK exploration program which
included surface channel samples of the Pakeagama Lake pegmatite (see
news releases dated January 10th and 29th, 2013).
The drill program will focus on drill targets derived from the high
grade mineralization encountered in various zones at surface.
The current drill program consists of 1,000 m in six holes. The
objectives of the program are (1) to determine the orientation,
thickness and zonation of the Pakeagama Lake pegmatite, and (2) to
refine the mineralogical characterization of these zones by better
establishing their lithium, tantalum, cesium and rubidium potential. The
drilling will be completed before the end of this winter and results
will be reported as they are received and interpreted.
About the PAK Rare Metals Project
The Pakeagama Lake
pegmatite currently has a strike length of over 200m with a width up to
150m at surface with mineralization that is open in all directions. In
September 2012, Peter J. Vanstone, P.Geo. the qualified person for the
project, conducted a 91 sample channel sampling program on the exposed
Pakeagama Lake pegmatite in order to confirm historical results and to
add additional channel samples while further sampling by distinct
geologic zones. The results of the program have so far identified high
grade lithium up to 4.74% Li2O over 15 meters in three
distinct pegmatite zones, and high grade tantalum up to 192ppm Ta2O5
over 14 meters in one of these zones.
