Noram Commences Leach Testing Of Surface And Subsurface Sample Splits From its Clayton Valley Lithium Project
Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Noram Ventures Inc. (TSX-Venture: NRM and Frankfurt: N7R) (“Noram” or the “Company”) is pleased to report a number of sample splits from the Phase I and II Clayton Valley Sampling Programs will be re-assayed at ALS Chemex, in Reno and analyzed for mineral composition by X Ray Diffraction (XRD) and for solubility by dilute acid bench scale tests.
The sample splits will be re-assayed at ALS Chemex utilizing both a deionized water and Aqua Regia leaching process in order to provide additional data on the potential viability of large-scale leaching of lithium from the mineralized claystones. Additional mineralogical and metallurgical studies are also being conducted in an advancing effort to develop a low cost lithium extraction method for the strongly mineralized outcropping calcareous evaporates (claystones) on the property.
The focus of these tests is to substantiate the potential of producing lithium directly from the mineralized claystones with a low cost and environmentally sensitive approach, and thereby reducing the need for roasting or other costly, complex processes.
Once the ongoing geological mapping and surface sampling phases have been completed, shallow core drilling (60–80 feet or 18–24 meters) has been recommended to provide a more in-depth understanding of the geology, lithium grades and thicknesses. Drill collar locations and the numbers of holes will be determined by the sampling and geological phases of the project.
“We expect the results of the leach re-assaying will add significantly to our knowledge base on the most effective method of recovery and help develop a conceptual model for further development of the companies’ lithium claystone assets”, said Noram’s President, Mark Ireton.
The technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Michael Collins, PGeo, who is a Qualified Person with respect to Noram’s Clayton Valley Claim Group Project as defined under National Instrument 43-101.
