28.02.2018  |  GlobeNewswire

HIGHLIGHTS

  • High grades confirmed on LSC/Dajin Joint Venture property in Salinas Grandes
  • Concentrations range from 281mg/l Li to 1,353mg/l Li, averaging 591mg/l Li
  • 60% of assays >500mg/l Lithium and 8% >1,000mg/l Li

TORONTO, Feb. 28, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LSC Lithium Corp. (“LSC” or together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) (TSXV:LSC) is pleased to announce that surface sampling of the Salinas Grandes LSC/Dajin Resources Corp. (“Dajin”) joint venture property of San Jose/Navidad has been completed. This surface pit sampling exercise was conducted as part of the first phase of exploration on the property.

Ian Stalker, the Company’s President and CEO commented, “This sampling program, focused on the 550 hectares of salar surface on the LSC/Dajin joint venture, extends the Company’s lithium mineralized footprint1 to the east of the current limit and establishes the high grade nature of the salar in the Salta section which can be expected to continue as one moves to the north east through the Jujuy section of the salar. This successful sampling program will be followed up with geophysical surveys to generate a subsurface target and thereafter drilling later this year.

Of the 25 shallow pit samples taken, 60% of them have returned grades in excess of 500mg/l Li and 8% in excess of 1,000mg/l Li. The peak value returned for this section of the sampling was 1,353mg/l Li. Concentrations range from 281mg/l Li to 1,353mg/l Li, averaging 591mg/l Li.

Exploration Methodology

The 24 sample points were pre-planned on a 500m east/west and north/south grid, utilizing the Company’s geographical information system and located in the field with a hand held GPS. At each sample site, an augering drill was used to excavate an 8-inch diameter hole to a depth of 2m. Thereafter, a bailer was used to extract brine 0.5m to 1m below the phreatic level after the brine had been given time to stratiphy over a 30-minute period.

Sampling and QA/QC

The bailed brine from each hole was decanted into four sterilized plastic litre size bottles and sealed without any air being trapped in the bottle. Samples were labelled and labels covered in clear tape to prevent erasure of sample information. All samples remained in the possession of the site geologist until delivery to Alex Stewart Laboratory in Jujuy, Argentina.

LSC has a well-developed QA/QC program. Brine assays are undertaken at Alex Stewart Argentina (“ASA”) SA. in Jujuy, Argentina. ASA is independent of LSC and has significant experience in assaying lithium brines and is certified to ISO17025 standards. Brine assays are undertaken using ICP, gravimetric, potentiometric and volumetric methods as detailed in a press release from LSC dated April 10, 2017. ASA runs internal duplicates at a rate of 1 in 20. LSC inserts blanks and standards in sample batches at a rate of 1 in 20. Standards are internal standards developed by LSC that have been independently certified by round robin testing. LSC uses distilled water as blanks.

Qualified Person/Data Verification

The scientific and technical information included in this press release is based upon information prepared and approved by Donald H. Hains, P.Geo. Mr. Hains is a qualified person, as defined in NI 43-101 and is independent of LSC. Mr. Hains has verified all sampling, analytical and test data underlying the information contained in this press release and review of certified assay certificates against the assay data base.
