Winsome (ASX:WR1) crack more thick lithium in Quebec
March 23, 2023Winsome Resources have confirmed a host of mineralised intersections containing a potentially viable lithium grade in excess of 1% over more than 50 metres at its Adina project in Quebec, Canada.
Winsome says the find confirms the tenor and thickness of the Canadian project’s main zone in a Quebec province quickly emerging as a continental capital of hard rock lithium.
A strike of 1.64% Li2O over 47.4m from 32.7m was the top result, but the headline is the number of similar intercepts, as Winsome continue to intersect exceptionally high-grade zones within the pegmatite body.
Latest results include:
- 1.64% Li2O over 47.4m from 32.7m
- 1.35% Li2O over 55.5m from 28.0m
- 1.26% Li2O over 59.4m from 41.6m
- 1.56% Li2O over 44.7m from 26.3m
- 1.14% Li2O over 54.8m from 2.2m
- 1.08% Li2O over 44.0m from 123.0m
$0.185Winsome Resources Managing Director Chris Evans said Adina was a robust lithium project well placed for development to supply future North American demand.
“We have intersected mineralisation on every drill section over a 700-metre strike length. More importantly the consistency of grade and width through the core of the deposit is very encouraging and gives encouragement for the future development of the project,” he said.
“The assay results are supporting our initial interpretations based on logged spodumene-bearing pegmatite zones which allows us to plan drilling effectively and efficiently without having to wait for assay data. Having recently been on site and seeing the exceptional work done to date I am grateful to our team for their hard work to fast track this project and look forward to both more drilling data and more assay results in coming weeks.”
Winsome are not the lone Australian exploring Quebec, with neighbours including a concentrate-producing Sayona Mining, Burley Minerals standing greenlit for 5000 metres of drilling on stacked lithium, and Mt Monger Resources, which has fully acquired a late-stage rare earths and niobium asset in the beautiful province.
Winsome will now mobilise a third rig to Adina to further investigate potential strike length and depth extensions and follow up on other gravity targets as assays come in from its remaining 17 holes.
