Majestic Gold Corp. Reports on Moorine Property in Western Australia
A total of six widely spaced samples were taken on this first pass of prospecting on the Moorine property visit. The goal of the program was to identify pegmatite-hosted spodumene deposits capable of hosting lithium mineralization. Results from the samples returned negligible amounts of lithium but most of the samples returned elevated amounts of rubidium, which is often associated with lithium.
Sample ID | X | Y | Rb % | |
754-2 | 703317 | 6519016 | 0.475 | Granite |
753 | 703316 | 6519015 | 1.95 | Granite (Repeat of 754-2) |
756 | 703413 | 6519077 | 0.217 | Chert |
763 | 701715 | 6518766 | 0.281 | Granite |
757 | 703431 | 6519106 | 0.321 | Pegmatite |
757-1 | 703431 | 6519106 | 0.687 | Pegmatite (Repeat of 757) |
Rubidium is a high value critical element usually found in pegmatites and has multiples uses including in solar panels, fiber optic cables, as well as sodium-ion batteries.
The Moorine property is comprised of eight blocks covering 24 square kilometers and is located within the Yilgarn craton granites. The property is centred on a northwest trending fault structure similar to the Mt. Holland lithium project and on strike with the Mt. Hollenton pegmatite. At the south end of this district is Galaxy Resource's Mt. Cattlin lithium deposit. The area is underlain by Banded Iron Formation and mafic igneous rocks of Archaean age that have been deformed by two regional fold systems.
The samples were tested using a Sci-Apps Z-903 portable handheld LIBS Analyzer capable of analyzing for every element in the periodic table. The Company will work with the consultants from Western Explorers Pty Ltd. to determine the best way to follow up the anomalous results from this initial program.
