Sayona Mining Ltd.: New Mineralised Pegmatite Discovered at Authier
11.10.2016 | ABN Newswire
Brisbane - Sayona Mining Ltd. (ASX:SYA) (OTCMKTS:DMNXF) ("Sayona" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has discovered a new spodumene bearing pegmatite at the Authier lithium project, Quebec.
The new pegmatite was discovered in a step-back drill hole (no. 10) targeting deeper mineralisation in the eastern zone of the Authier pegmatite. The new pegmatite, not visible from the surface, was intersected at shallow levels between 15 metres to 21 metres downhole depth and contained visible spodumene mineralisation (Figure 1, refer to link below).
The new pegmatite is located approximately 400 metres north of the main pegmatite resource. Further drilling is required to test the extent of the new pegmatite system.
Drill hole 10 was planned to test the depth extension of the Authier resource at 200 metres vertical depth. In addition to the mineralisation intersected in the new pegmatite, mineralised pegmatite of the main body was also intersected between 234 - 244 metres, and 258 to 280 metres downhole depth.
The new discovery highlights the potential for identifying new pegmatites within the Authier tenement package which remains under explored outside the main pegmatite resource.
The Company has now completed ten drill holes totalling 2,000 metres and samples from the first seven holes have been sent to the laboratory for analysis.
