Company Sifts oilfield waste for US$10,000-per-tonne #lithium

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 1:54 PM on Thursday, December 29th, 2016

 MGX claims to be the "largest lithium brine land holder in Canada".

  • MGX Minerals Inc. has been buying up metal and minerals permits in Alberta’s oil and gas producing regions but has no intention of mining the areas for lithium carbonate, which is used to make batteries for electric vehicles
  • Jared Lazerson, MGX’s president and CEO, said the company is working to sign agreements with oil and gas producers to process their wastewater, a byproduct of oil and gas production, so the company can extract the lithium carbonate from that water, which would otherwise simply be treated like waste.

CALGARY – A tiny Vancouver-based mining company is betting Alberta’s energy sector could benefit from the rise of electric vehicles by harvesting its oilfield wastewater for lithium carbonate.

MGX Minerals Inc. has been buying up metal and minerals permits in Alberta’s oil and gas producing regions but has no intention of mining the areas for lithium carbonate, which is used to make batteries for electric vehicles.

Instead, Jared Lazerson, MGX’s president and CEO, said the company is working to sign agreements with oil and gas producers to process their wastewater, a byproduct of oil and gas production, so the company can extract the lithium carbonate from that water, which would otherwise simply be treated like waste.

MGX claims to be the “largest lithium brine land holder in Canada” with permits covering over one million barrels per day of brine production by various oil field operators throughout Alberta.

While MGX has yet to deploy a pilot project in the oilfield (a pilot is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2017), in December the company signed an agreement with oilsands giant Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. to work on the Sturgeon Lake region, near Grande Praire, Alta.

“Canadian Natural has allowed a third party to obtain water samples from our operations for their work in lithium carbonate,” CNRL spokesperson Julie Woo said in an email. “Beyond that, no decisions, plans or commitments have been made on the application of this technology in Canadian Natural’s operations.”

Lazerson said he hopes that MGX’s technology, for which it has filed patents, will allow oil and gas producers to help supply new energy markets, including the market for electric vehicles.

“Who better to have a big piece of the new energy sector than the energy sector?” he said. “I think there are going to be incredible efficiencies from oil and gas and new ideas as word starts to get out.”

Wood Mackenzie analysts expect lithium demand will double by 2024 as more and more consumers, especially in Europe, purchase electric vehicles.

Lithium prices have spiked in recent years because, as Wood Mackenzie noted in a November report, that lithium ion “has become the technology of choice” for electric vehicles.

The commodity is not traded on any exchange, however, and analysts say that current prices – which have reached US$10,000 per tonne – are likely to fall as new supplies become available.

“The trick isn’t finding lithium, the trick is producing it inexpensively,” Stormcrow Capital president and lithium analyst John Hykawy said in an email.

Hykawy said there are several companies attempting to produce lithium using water treatment technologies like reverse osmosis and nano-filtration but cautioned these are early-stage technologies being developed in a time of high prices.

Most of the lithium carbonate produced in the world is produced in South America’s “lithium triangle,” — the salt flats in Bolivia, Chile and Argentina — where new projects are also set to begin production.

“Prices will fall again, it might take a year or two,” Hykawy said. “But almost none of the smaller companies in the space, with the exception of Orocobre Ltd., are in a position to produce and have their profits benefit from these high prices. By the time most will be able to sell something, prices will be back to lower levels.”

MGX’s Lazerson hopes to move from a pilot project in the first quarter of next year to a full-scale commercial project by the third quarter. MGX, which trades on the alternative Canadian Securities Exchange, has seen its share price rise 110 per cent this year.

The company’s goal, Lazerson said, is to connect its water-treatment units with oil and gas operators in regions where they produce between 12,000 barrels per day to 20,000 bpd.

“Big picture, this is an add-on to oil and gas,” Lazerson said, adding that he thinks energy companies will see the value in the minerals in their waste and venture with MGX to process their water.

Soil Survey Results Prompts Claim Block Expansion at Black Rock Desert, Nevada $BFF.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:19 AM on Thursday, December 15th, 2016

Bff hub 2 copy

  • Program continued to show strongly anomalous results with 88 samples collected; 73 of them (83%) containing more than 100 ppm Li
  • Together the combined grids contain 258 samples of which 239 samples (93%) had values of greater than 100 ppm Li. Maximum values ranged up to 520 ppm Li

December 15, 2016 / Vancouver, British Columbia- Nevada Energy Metals Inc. “the Company”, TSX-V: BFF (OTCQB: SSMLF) (Frankfurt: A2AFBV) and LiCo Energy Metals Inc. TSX-V: LIC (OTCQB: WCTXF) are pleased to announce that following positive results from an expanded soil sampling program, 71 new placer claims have been added to the Company’s Black Rock Desert Project, Nevada.

Results from the program continued to show strongly anomalous results with 88 samples collected; 73 of them (83%) containing more than 100 ppm Li. Together the combined grids contain 258 samples of which 239 samples (93%) had values of greater than 100 ppm Li. Maximum values ranged up to 520 ppm Li.

These results show that dissolved lithium has been transported into this portion of the Black Rock Desert and is available for potential concentration by evaporative brines. The exploration model for the Black Rock Project is a Clayton Valley evaporative brine deposit as described in USGS Open File Report 2013-1006.

Geochemical sample points were arranged to expand on the original 170-sample grid. Samples were collected on 200 meter intervals along lines spaced 350 meters apart. Samples were collected by a contract crew and transported to the ALS sample preparation lab in Elko, Nevada. Samples were screened to -80 mesh at the ALS prep lab in Reno, Nevada and analyzed by Aqua Regia leach mass spectrometry at the ALS laboratory in North Vancouver, B.C. Canada. QA/QC standards were inserted into the sample stream with one in twenty samples being a standard. All 6 standards in this batch were within 3% of their accepted value of 750 ppm.

About the Blackrock Desert Lithium Project:

The Black Rock Desert Lithium Project now consists of 199 placer claims, (3,980 acres/ 1,610 hectares) located in southwest Black Rock Desert, Washoe County, Nevada. The nearest population center is the town of Gerlach, which lies 177 kilometers north of Reno.

The western arm of the Black Rock Desert covers an area of about 2,000 square kilometers and contains 5 of the 30 currently listed Known Geothermal Resource Areas in Nevada. The property covers an area of playa underlain by a moderately deep basin interpreted from gravity and seismic surveys, indicating a maximum thickness of valley-fill deposits of about 1,200 m/3,600 ft. A high salt content prevents any significant vegetation from growing on the playa surface.

Locally, the basin is being fed in part by boiling springs and siliceous sinter containing strongly anomalous lithium values (up to 3.5 ppm) that flank the property on the west side (U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Open-File Report 81-918). While these lithium values are well below those of producing lithium brines, they do represent a significant source of metal available for evaporative concentration within the playa basin.

The company plans to carry out additional exploration programs this fall to determine the potential for an economic lithium brine deposit. Future exploration will consist of shallow auger sampling followed by a high resolution geophysical program to define potential drill targets.

Nevada Energy Metals has entered into an agreement where LiCo Energy Metals is able to acquire a 70% interest subject to a 3% NSR royalty in the Black Rock Desert Property. Nevada Energy Metals holds a 100% interest in the property, free of royalty payments.

Pacific North West Capital Announces Assays, up to 4.33% Lithium Oxide on the Lithium One Project, Southeast Manitoba $PFN.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:14 AM on Thursday, December 8th, 2016

Hublogo1 copy

  • Samples from the Silverleaf Pegmatite yielded assays up to 4.33% Li2O, 2.08% Rb2O and 0.04%Ta2O5
  •  Numerous other Pegmatites and Pegmatitic Granite sites sampled
  •  Drilling slated for early 2017

December 8th, 2016 / Vancouver, British Columbia – Pacific North West Capital Corp. (“PFN” the “Company”) (TSXV: PFN; OTCQB: PAWEF; FSE: P7J) is pleased to announce that its 100% owned subsidiary, Lithium Canada Developments, has received the assay results of its Phase One Exploration Review of the Lithium One Project.

The Lithium One Project (April 21st, 2016 News Release) is located 125 kilometres northeast of Winnipeg, Manitoba, in the Cat Lake-Winnipeg River Pegmatite Field. This Pegmatite Field is host to the world-class Tanco Pegmatite, which has been mined since 1969. Historically, the project area is known for the presence of numerous surface Pegmatites, of various dimensions and compositions.

The Company carried out a Phase One Exploration Program, whereby several of the known Lithium-bearing Pegmatite were prospected and sampled, including the Greer Lake Pegmatitic Granite. The purpose of the exploration program was to obtain modern-day assay analyses of the Pegmatites and to ground proof the historic Pegmatite locations. Numerous Pegmatites and Pegmatite swarms were not sampled, due to access difficulties and will be prospected at a later time.

The Silverleaf Pegmatite is a zoned complex Lithium-bearing Pegmatite, with a surface exposure of approximately 80 metres x 45 metres. It was the largest Pegmatite reviewed. Samples taken from the Lepidolite-Spodumene Zone yielded assays from 1.30% to 2.43% Li2O, 0.15% to 2.08% Rb2O and 104 ppm to 447 ppm Ta2O5. This zone is approximately 50 metres x 20 metres in size and extends into a historic excavated open pit. The open pit originates from the late 1920s, when a bulk sample of Spodumene was mined from the southwest side of the Silverleaf Pegmatite. Large scale mining operations were not undertaken at the time, due to changes in the market conditions and commodity prices. A sample from the historically mined Spodumene rock pile returned values up to 4.33% Li2O.

Many of the sampled Pegmatites are hosted in the Greer Lake Pegmatitic Granite. This unit is exposed on surface, over an approximate area of 3500 metres x 800 metres. The nature of the in-situ segregation, of the sampled Pegmatites, suggests a potential exploration target with the possibility of other complex Lithium-bearing Pegmatites, hosted within the Pegmatitic Granite, but below surface. Lithium-bearing Pegmatites tend to occur along the southern margin of the Greer Lake Pegmatite Granite (Figure 2), which is considered a potential exploration target horizon.Historic exploration of the area has resulted in several untested lithogeochemical anomalies that will be target areas for future exploration.

Figure 1: Lithium One Project Location Map

The Annie Pegmatite is exposed on surface, for an approximate area of 15metres x 90 metres. Samples returned assays of 0.10% to 0.64% Li2O and 0.21% to 0.81% Rb2O. Other Pegmatites returned elevated levels of Lithium. Due to the zoned nature of some of the Pegmatites, additional Lithium-rich zones may exist, but are not exposed on surface. It is recommended that a Program of Mapping and Sampling be carried-out, over the southern margin of the Greer Lake Pegmatite Granite, during the 2017 summer field season, in addition to mapping and prospecting the Pegmatites that were not examined, this field season. A Drill Program of 3000 metres is proposed for 2017, in order to test several of the surface exposed Pegmatites.

Table 1: Pegmatite Field Assays – Lithium One Project

To date, the Company has approximately 6,318 hectares (15,612 acres) of mineral claims, with Lithium Mineral Potential, in the Cat Lake-Winnipeg River Pegmatite Field, of SE Manitoba. PFN is the Largest Mineral Claim Holder, in the Pegmatite Field. As part of the Company’s Prospector Generator Model, negotiations are currently ongoing, with interested 3rd parties, for possible Option/Joint Ventures and other Exploration Initiatives.

PEGMATITE SAMPLE PROCEDURES

The Pegmatite samples were sent to the Activation Laboratories facility, in Ancaster, Ontario for analysis. Samples were prepared, using the lab’s Code RX1 procedure. Samples are crushed, up to 95% passing through a 10 mesh, riffle split, and then pulverized, with mild steel, to 95%, passing 105 ?m. Analyses were completed, using the lab’s Ultratrace 7 Package; a Sodium Peroxide fusion which allows for total metal recovery and is effective for analysis of Sulphides and refractory minerals. Assay Analyses are carried out, using ICP-OES and ICP-MS instrumentation. Due to the reconnaissance and prospecting nature of the Phase One Program, independent standards, or blanks, were not submitted with the samples. However, Activation Laboratories followed their own internal QA/QC procedures. It is recommended that for future detailed mapping/sampling programs and for drilling, a full QA/QC program of standards, duplicates and blanks be implemented.

ABOUT PFN’S PGM DIVISION

PFN’s flagship project is its 100% owned River Valley PGM Project, (PFN Website – River Valley Project) in the Sudbury Mining District of NW Ontario (60 kilometres due east of Sudbury, Ontario). Presently the River Valley Project has Measured + Indicated resources of 91 million tonnes @ 0.58 g/t* Palladium, 0.22 g/t Platinum, 0.04 g/t Gold, at a cut-off grade of 0.8 g/t for a PdEq of 2,463,000 ounces PGM plus Gold. River Valley PGM-Copper-Nickel Sulphide mineralized zones remain open to expansion and are undergoing continued exploration. Results are expected from the Fall Drill Program, in the next few weeks.

Nemaska Lithium’s Deposit Extends Towards Durango’s NMX East Project $DGO.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 2:01 PM on Wednesday, November 30th, 2016

Logo

  • Announced that on November 28, 2016 its neighbor to the west, Nemaska Lithium Inc. (T-NMX) provided details on its newly discovered Doris zone on its Whabouchi lithium project
  • Doris zone contains 5 interconnected dykes and has now been confirmed on 420m of lateral extension and up to a maximum depth of 440m where it joins the main dyke

Vancouver, BC / November 30, 2016 – Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO), (the “Company” or “Durango”) announces that on November 28, 2016 its neighbor to the west, Nemaska Lithium Inc. (T-NMX) provided details on its newly discovered Doris zone on its Whabouchi lithium project.

As stated in Nemaska Lithium’s news release dated November 28, “…the Doris zone contains 5 interconnected dykes and has now been confirmed on 420m of lateral extension and up to a maximum depth of 440m where it joins the main dyke. The Doris zone starts in the southwest and is open along strike to the northeast. Doris appears to run parallel to main zone which extends for 1.2km to the northeast.” (1)

Durango’s 100%-owned NMX East ground adjoins the eastern boundary of the Whabouchi property, where the Doris zone remains open, and lies less than 1.5km from the proposed Whabouchi pit. Durango’s geological team identified a pegmatite intrusion at NMX East running parallel to Nemaska Lithium’s main zone which returned anomalous lithium and rubidium values. (2)

The Company has renewed the strategically located NMX East claims for an additional two years and intends to begin stripping and/or drilling of the pegmatite targets in the new year to determine the full extent of the intrusive bodies. Durango met with drilling contractors at the Quebec Mines convention in Quebec City last week, as announced on November 21, 2016, and will announce further details as they become available.

A map of Durango’s NMX East property in relation to the Whabouchi lithium deposit is available on the Durango Resources website:

http://www.durangoresourcesinc.com/projects/nmx-east-quebec/

Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango stated, “LCT pegmatite intrusions are known to occur in groups spanning tens of square kilometres. Considering the proximity of the NMX East lithium-bearing pegmatite intrusions to the Whabouchi deposit, we see a great amount of potential for discovery on our ground.”

The technical contents of this release were approved by Mr. Case Lewis, P.Geo., a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. The property has not yet been the subject of a National Instrument 43-101 report.

Pacific North West Capital Corp. Expands The Lithium Two Project, Southeast Manitoba $PFN.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:12 AM on Tuesday, November 29th, 2016

Hublogo1 copy

  • Additional claim added to the Lithium Two Project-Surface samples from the Eagle Pegmatite yielded assays up to 3.04% Li2O
  • Surface samples from the FD No. 5 Pegmatite yielded assays up to 2.08% Li2O
  •  Follow-up surface sampling ongoing
  •  Drilling planned for early 2017

November 29th, 2016 / Vancouver, British Columbia – Pacific North West Capital Corp. (“PFN” the “Company”) (TSXV: PFN; OTCQB: PAWEF; FSE: P7J) is pleased to announce that its 100% owned subsidiary, Lithium Canada Developments has acquired additional ground from Mustang Minerals Corp. (Mustang), increasing the size of the Lithium Two Project.

Following up on the Lithium grades previously released on the Lithium Two Project (News release Nov. 17th, 2016) from surface sampling of the Eagle and F.D. No. 5 Pegmatites, the company decided to enact a clause in their agreement with Mustang and acquire additional ground. This ground has been acquired at no additional cost and the size of the project area has doubled. The company considers the Cat Lake Area to be highly prospective for potentially economic lithium deposits. Numerous pegmatites in the region are Spodumene-Bearing and of the Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum (LCT) type of pregmatites, which are ideal for lithium potential. The Lithium Two Project is located north of Cat Lake, approximately 145 kilometres (90 miles) northeast of Winnipeg, Manitoba (Canada) and 22 kilometres north of the Tanco Mine Site (Figure 1). Geologically, the project is situated in the Cat Lake portion of the Cat Lake – Winnipeg River Pegmatite Field. The Winnipeg River Pegmatite Field hosts the World-Class Tanco Pegmatite.

Two historically known Pegmatites exist on the project area, the Eagle Pegmatite and the F.D. No. 5 Pegmatite. Surface sampling of the Eagle Pegmatite returned assays up to 3.04% Li2O. This pegmatite extends onto the CAT 4 claim to the west. It is the CAT 4 claim that has been acquired from Mustang.

The Eagle Pegmatite has been reported to be exposed at surface as a series of lenticular Spodumene-bearing Pegmatite Dykes (Spodumene is a lithium bearing mineral found in Pegmatite Dykes) over a distance of approximately 823 metres. In 1947, drilling of the Eagle Pegmatite estimated that there was 545,000 tonnes (600 000 tons) of Spodumene with an average content of 1.4% Li2O to a depth of 60 metres (200 feet). This is a historic estimation and not NI 43-101 compliant. The Eagle Pegmatite remains open to depth. Additional surface sampling of the pegmatites is ongoing. Drilling of the Pegmatites is planned for early 2017.

Demand for battery metals set to soar: analysts $DGO.ca $PFN.ca $FMR.ca $SX.ca $BFF.ca

  • “Lithium-ion batteries are a game changer in the energy world,” Alexa Capital’s founder and former head of European clean-tech research at Jefferies, Gerard Reid, said Monday, declaring a “revolution not evolution” in the energy world.
  • At five times the energy density of lead batteries, lithium-ion batteries are already the battery of choice in mobile phones, laptops and every new electric vehicle and, according to Reid, they will also be the cheapest by 2020.

London (Platts)–28 Nov 2016 948 am EST/1448 GMT

With nearly every forecast predicting higher battery use in the years ahead, especially lithium-ion batteries to power new and existing technologies largely in the automotive and consumer goods markets, demand for its component metals are set to soar, speakers at this year’s Mines and Money conference said Monday.

This includes cobalt, nickel, manganese, graphite and, most importantly, lithium itself.

“Lithium-ion batteries are a game changer in the energy world,” Alexa Capital’s founder and former head of European clean-tech research at Jefferies, Gerard Reid, said Monday, declaring a “revolution not evolution” in the energy world.

At five times the energy density of lead batteries, lithium-ion batteries are already the battery of choice in mobile phones, laptops and every new electric vehicle and, according to Reid, they will also be the cheapest by 2020.

“Technological advances and cost reduction in the last two years have been remarkable and nothing short of a revolution,” Reid said. “The main growth driver up to now has been consumer goods but what will take it to the next level is road transport.”

Driven by consumer demands for energy efficiency and the industry’s necessity to meet emissions targets, electric vehicle growth has accelerated in recent years, up 55% on the year to around 700,00 vehicles in 2016.

This still only accounts for less than 1% of the 80 million vehicles sold globally each year, yet there are signs that this could change rapidly.

The world’s largest vehicle manufacturer, Volkswagen, estimates it will be producing 2 million-3 million electric vehicles by 2025. Extrapolated across the industry this could mean a 30-40% market share for EVs.

In the US, Tesla outsold Mercedes in the luxury car market in 2016 for the first time in 40 years.

For Reid, this would mean an extra 800,000 mt of lithium demand by 2025, with a significant pickup of cobalt, nickel and graphite, and also silicon.

And it is not only electrical vehicles. With growing power generation expected from renewables, storage of the electricity generated will become more and more important.

Luke Kissam, CEO of one of the world’s largest lithium producers, Albermale, forecasts an extra 8,000-10,000 mt/year of lithium demand by 2020, with wholesale electronic storage expected to play a major role.

At the same time, lithium demand already significantly outpaces supply. Spot prices in China have reached $25,000/mt this year, compared with long-term contract prices of $4,000-$7,000/mt, reflecting its scarcity.

According to Roskill analyst David Merriman, the lithium market has been in deficit since 2013, largely because of demand outpacing supply growth.

Although stockpiles of minerals and concentrates have kept most end-processors overall well-supplied this year “increased control of feedstock, and later refined product, has led to a virtual tightness in lithium supply,” Merriman said.

While battery demand for lithium is currently only around 38% by end-use at 66,000/mt in 2015, it is expected to rise to 58% by 2020, he said.

At 35,000 mt, battery demand for cobalt is expected to increase from 39% by end-use to up to 50%. Graphite, up to 7% from 2% currently.

And although the lithium-battery industry is waking up to raw material issues, “based on short-term growth projections it may be too late to prevent an impact,” Merriman said.

Yet some concerns remain, especially over how much new supply will affect prices in the near to medium term.

“The demand story is there and it is well recognized, but the concern is the amount of potential supply coming online,” Macquarie’s metals analyst Stefan Ljubisavljevic said in a panel discussion Monday.

“There’s a lot of volume to come to market in the next 12-18 months and, unless there is ‘hockey stick’ demand from EVs, it is unlikely the market can absorb all that volume without prices softening,” he said.

While much of the supply chain to 2016 came from junior mining firms, new supply is expected to be largely from the larger producers, according to Merriman, such as Chile’s SQM, America’s Albermale and China’s Tianqi.

“Since 2016 incumbent producers have become more active in expansion, investment and increased overall exploration and production,” Merriman said. “Prices have incentivized both incumbent and junior companies to expand.”

  • Attending the Quebec Mines conference in Quebec City beginning November 21, 2016
  • Meeting with drilling companies as it plans work at its 100%-owned NMX East lithium prospect located in northern Quebec

Vancouver, BC / November 21, 2016 – Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO), (the “Company” or “Durango”) announces that it will be attending the Quebec Mines conference in Quebec City beginning November 21, 2016 and meeting with drilling companies as it plans work at its 100%-owned NMX East lithium prospect located in northern Quebec.

As outlined in Durango’s news release dated September 21, 2016, lithium anomalies were discovered in three distinct lithium-bearing pegmatite intrusions during Durango’s inaugural exploration program on its NMX East property, adjacent to the Nemaska Lithium (T.NMX) Whabouchi property. Nemaska Lithium announced on September 6, 2016 and October 13, 2016 that drilling had extended the Whabouchi deposit to the east. Durango’s land position is strategically located along the eastern boundary of the Whabouchi property.

The Company intends to begin stripping and/or drilling of the pegmatite targets in the new year to determine the full extent of the intrusive bodies. Durango announced on October 31, 2016 that is accepting bids to drill these targets and will be meeting with contractors at the Quebec Mines convention in Quebec City.

Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango, comments, “Durango’s significant new discovery of pegmatites near the Whabouchi deposit has created great potential for the Company. The next step will be to trench and drill the lithium-bearing pegmatite targets to determine the extent to which the mineralization at NMX East reaches at depth.”

Pacific North West Capital Corp. Reports Up To 3.04% Lithium Oxide On The Lithium Two Project, SE Manitoba $PFN.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:10 AM on Thursday, November 17th, 2016

Hublogo1 copy

  • Phase One Program of pegmatite sampling completed on Pacific North West Capital’s (PFN) Lithium Projects in SE Manitoba by its 100% owned Lithium Division, Lithium Canada Developments (LCD)
  • Two main pegmatites were sampled
  • Multiple high grade surface samples from the Eagle Pegmatite yielding assays of up to 3.04% Li2O
  • Surface samples from the FD No. 5 Pegmatite yielded assays of up to 2.08% Li2O
  • 2000m drill program recommended and a detailed mapping and sampling program.

November 17th, 2016 / Vancouver, British Columbia - Pacific North West Capital Corp. (“PFN” the “Company”) (TSXV: PFN; OTCQB: PAWEF; FSE: P7J) is pleased to announce that its 100% owned subsidiary, Lithium Canada Developments has received the assays from its 2016 Phase One Field Program on the Lithium Two Project. The company considers these results to be very positive and highlights the lithium potential of the Lithium Two Project.

The Lithium Two Project is located north of Cat Lake, approximately 145 kilometers (90 miles) northeast of Winnipeg, Manitoba (Canada) and 22 kilometers north of the Tanco Mine Site (Figure 1). Geologically, the project is situated in the Cat Lake portion of the Cat Lake – Winnipeg River Pegmatite Field. The Winnipeg River Pegmatite Field hosts the World-Class Tanco Pegmatite, which has been mined since 1969 at the Tanco Mine Site. At one time, the Tanco Mine was North America’s only producer of Spodumene (a primary lithium mineral). This Project has excellent access via a major gravel covered provincial highway in the project area.

Two historically known Pegmatites exist in the project area; the Eagle Pegmatite and the F.D. No. 5 Pegmatite. Numerous other surface exposed Pegmatite Dykes occur in the project area. Surface samples were collected during a Phase One Exploration Program to evalute the two major Pegmatites. Assays are displayed in Table 1 and sample locations are shown in Figure 2.

The Eagle Pegmatite has been reported to be exposed at surface as a series of lenticular Spodumene-bearing Dykes, over a distance of about 823 meters, with a general strike of 077? and a near vertical dip. Approximately 200 meters of the Eagle Pegmatite was examined in this program. In 1947, drilling of the Eagle Pegmatite estimated that there was 545,000 tonnes (600,000 tons) of Spodumene with an average content of 1.4% Li2O to a depth of 60 meters (200 feet). This is a historic estimation and is not NI 43-101 compliant and should not be relied upon. The Eagle Pegmatite remains open to depth.

Table 1: Lithium Two Project Assay Result

The Lithium content over each of the sampled Pegmatites is extremely high. In addition, Tantalum, Cesium and Rubidium contents are enriched – consistent with a Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum (LCT) Type Pegmatite. LCT Type Pegmatites are the deposit types of interest in Lithium Exploration. The Tanco Pegmatite is a LCT Type Pegmatite.

The Pegmatite samples were sent to the Activation Laboratories facility in Ancaster, Ontario for analysis. Samples were prepared using the lab’s Code RX1 procedure, in which samples are crushed up to 95% passing through a 10 mesh, riffle split, and then pulverized with mild steel to 95% passing 105 um. Analyses were completed using the lab’s Ultratrace 7 Package. This package is a sodium peroxide fusion, which allows for total metal recovery and is effective for the analysis of sulphides and refractory minerals. Assay Analysis is carried out using ICP-OES and ICP-MS instrumentation. Due to the reconnaissance and prospecting nature of the Phase One Program, independent standards or blanks were not submitted with the samples. However, Activation Laboratories followed their own internal QA/QC procedures. It is recommended that for future detailed mapping/sampling programs and for drilling, a full QA/QC program of standards, duplicates and blanks be implemented.

It is recommended that additional samples be collected along the strike of the Eagle Pegmatite and during reconnaissance sampling of the minor pegmatites in the project area. Additional sampling will occur over the next few weeks. The sampling results will be utilized to create a surface distribution map of the lithium content. During the 2017 field season, it is recommended that the area be mapped in detailed with the purpose of understanding the controls on the Pegmatite emplacement and discovering more Pegmatites. A drill program of 2000 meters is recommended for 2017 to test the Eagle and F.D. No. 5 Pegmatite Dykes.

To date, the company has approximately 6,318 hectares (15,612 acres) of mineral claims, with Lithium Mineral Potential in the Cat Lake-Winnipeg River Pegmatite Field of southeast Manitoba. PFN is the largest mineral claim holder in the Pegmatite Field. As part of company’s Prospector Generator Model, negotiating is currently ongoing with interested 3rd parties for possible Option/Joint Ventures and other Exploration Initiatives.

About PFN’s PGM Division

PFN’s flagship project is its 100% owned River Valley PGM Project (PFN Website – River Valley Project) in the Sudbury Mining District of northwest Ontario (60 kilometers due east of Sudbury, Ontario). Presently the River Valley Project has Measured + Indicated resources of 91 million tonnes @ 0.58 g/t* palladium, 0.22 g/t platinum, 0.04 g/t gold at a cut-off grade of 0.8 g/t for a PdEq of 2,463,000 ounces PGM plus gold. River Valley PGM-copper-nickel sulphide mineralized zones remain open to expansion and is undergoing continued exploration. Results are expected from the fall drill program in the next few weeks.

Management Commentary

Harry Barr, Chairman and CEO comments; “The positive results from the Lithium Two project correlate well with managements objective to bring three of the companies five lithium projects to the drill stage before the end of the first quarter of 2017. We have also just completed the fall drill program of the 100% owned River Valley Project, which is one of Canada’s largest undeveloped primary PGM projects. Results from both divisions are expected over the next few weeks.”

St-Georges Platinum and Base Metals Provides Le Royal Lithium Exploration Progress Update $SX.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 10:51 AM on Tuesday, November 15th, 2016

Sx_hub_logo

  • Hired Magnor Exploration Inc. in October to plan and execute a first exploration campaign on Le Royal Lithium
  • Team of geoscientists with Yves Caron as its lead geologist, visited the project and conducted some initial surface work
  • Encouraged by the discovery of outcrops on the limited territory covered in this evaluation visit and a zone of interest was identified that should be the priority of the exploration advancement

Montreal, Quebec / November 15, 2016 – St-Georges Platinum and Base Metals Ltd. (CSE: SX) (OTC: SXOOF) (FSE: 85G1) is pleased to update its shareholders in regards to the current exploration effort on Le Royal Lithium project.

St-Georges’ management hired Magnor Exploration Inc. in October to plan and execute a first exploration campaign on Le Royal Lithium.

During the last week of October, a team of geoscientists with Yves Caron as its lead geologist, visited the project and conducted some initial surface work. Mr. Caron was instrumental in the development of the Wabouchi Lithium deposit while he was the Vice-President Exploration of Nemaska Lithium. Mr. Roger Ouellet was also part of the campaign as a senior geologist.

The team was encouraged by the discovery of outcrops on the limited territory covered in this evaluation visit and a zone of interest was identified that should be the priority of the exploration advancement. The work enables St-Georges to confirm the presence of a favourable geological context for the discovery of lithium bearing mineralization.

The Royal Lithium project is located near the La Corne pluton in the Preissac-La Corne Batholith at the contact of three geological domains. Considering these lithologies, the presence of the North American Lithium (formerly Quebec Lithium) deposit 5 km north-east of the project and the presence of many other lithium showings in the proximal area, Le Royal Lithium has a confirmed potential for rare metals (Li, Be, Nb and Ta) in rare-element pegmatites.

Figure 1: Geological settings of Le Royal Lithium

Part of the project is accessible by logging roads that are currently in good conditions. However, most of Le Royal Lithium lies under heavy dense forest and in order to continue the surface work, the Company must conduct a significant amount of line-cutting for which Magnor Exploration Inc. has initiated the permitting with the Ministry of Natural Resources.

Initial surface magnetic & radiometric geophysics aimed at confirming the local geology signature was conducted by Exploration St-Pierre Inc. from St-Felix Qc. While the initial work was conducted on sections of the property that are easier to access, the second part of that effort will be completed after the line cutting task is completed.

About Le Royal Lithium Project

Independent due diligence report highlights:

  • -Sample collected yields 2.508% LiO2-Regional geological environment is favorable to potential large discovery-Most of the lithium found in the sample is contained in Lepidolite-There is presence of spodumene-Compilation of historical geological data suggests multiple exploration vectors

Yves Caron, P.Geo. (OGQ #548), a Qualified Person under the National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the geological content of the current press release.
