08.12.2021 | Newsfile
Vancouver, Dec. 8, 2021 - Lions Bay Capital Inc. (TSXV: LBI) ("Lions Bay" or the "Company") announces that initial limited sampling results from the first five samples from five aircore holes on EL6968 held by Savic Pty Ltd. ("Savic") confirm that the rare earth mineralisation reported by Australian Rare Earths on the adjacent leases extends into the Savic area.The following report and map has been received by LBI's consultants SRK Consulting (Australia) Pty Ltd:
Assay results from five samples have been released by the Bureau Veritas Laboratory in Perth with an additional 124 samples currently being processed by the lab. These 129 samples are from recent 18 hole aircore drilling program completed in September 2021 within EL6968. This work was conducted to evaluate the presence of rare earth element (REE) enriched clays overlying the Gambier Limestone, consistent with REE enriched clays within Australian Rare Earth's Koppamurra Project immediately to the west of EL6968. Best results included two one meter interval samples (PD0216 and PD0705) with Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO) values of 982.58ppm and 1190.80ppm (inclusive of Y2O3). These results are preliminary as they represent a small subset with 124 sample results still pending. These initial results do indicate the presence of REE enrichment within clays overlying the Gambier Limestone in Savic's lease EL6968 as observed within the Australian Rare Earth's lease to the west.
