Phase IV Diamond Drill Program Commences On the Pak Lithium Project in Ontario

Sudbury, Ontario (FSCwire) - Houston Lake Mining Inc. (TSX.V: HLM). HLM is pleased to announce the commencement of diamond drilling on the PAK Lithium Project, located in the Red Lake area of Ontario. The Phase IV diamond drill program is a follow-up to the Canadian National Instrument (N.I.) 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate news release that was disseminated January 28^th, 2015 and a recently completed Phase III Diamond Drill Program. The Phase IV Drill Program (“the Program”) is designed to test the hypothesis that the deposit is plunging to the south-east.

The drill program is to consist of approximately 600 metres in two holes targeting the Pakeagama Lake pegmatite. The objectives of the program are twofold.  The first is to intersect the pegmatite at a predicted depth in order to substantiate the hypothesized southeasterly plunge of the deposit.  This information would then be used for future drill hole targeting.  The second objective is to extend the strike length of the deposit and use any qualifying additional tonnage in a future Resource Estimate update. The Program is currently underway and will be completed in the near future with results to be reported as they are received and interpreted. In addition to drilling, stripping and in-fill channel sampling of the Upper Intermediate Zone (UIZ) has recently been conducted along strike to the north-west of the 300 tonne bulk sample site (see March 23, 2015 news release) to better define the geometry and grade at surface. The objective of the channel sampling is to increase the confidence level of the high-grade lithium zone’s surficial exposure and to incorporate this data in a future Resource Estimate update.

About the PAK Lithium Project

The PAK Lithium Project lies close to the boundary between two geological sub-provinces of the western Superior geologic province in northwestern Ontario and hosts a rare metals pegmatite deposit. The deposit is an LCT (lithium- cesium- tantalum) type pegmatite. These types of pegmatites have been the principal source of hard rock lithium, tantalum, rubidium and cesium ores mined in the world but there are comparatively few commercially-viable deposits.

HLM is actively exploring its 100% owned and optioned project which contains the Pakeagama Lake pegmatite. The deposit is one of the highest grade lithium deposits in North America which has a current Indicated Resource of 2.45 million tonnes of 1.81% Li₂O Eq. and Inferred Resource of 5.91 million tonnes of 2.01% Li₂O Eq. which has a technical/ceramic grade spodumene with low inherent iron (below 0.1% Fe₂O₃)^[1]. The deposit has adjacent zones that are enriched in rubidium and tantalum. HLM is also evaluating the phased co-production of rubidium and tantalum concentrates once lithium mineral production has been commercialized.

The deposit has a known 400m strike length with an estimated true width varying from 10m to 125m with a sub-vertical orientation. The resource remains open to depth and along strike to the northwest and southeast. A Phase III, 1,500m diamond drill program was recently conducted with the objective to upgrade the lithium Indicated mineral resource to a Measured category, and to possibly upgrade the Inferred mineral resource to a Measured and Indicated category.
