Drilling at the Mavis Lake Lithium Project commenced on February 4, 2017, and the Company's geological consultant advises that a spodumene-bearing pegmatite has been intersected early in the first hole - above the drill target depth of 120m. Drilling was postponed in December until now, due to adverse weather conditions.
THE 2017 MAVIS LAKE DRILLING PROGRAMME
The 2017 winter programme will comprise of up to 1,500 metres of oriented diamond core drilling and is designed to test for extensions to known spodumene-bearing pegmatites.
The targets to be drilled are based on drilling by earlier explorers, including ILC in 2011 and 2012, updated with information gained from the Joint Venture's 2016 field work, which included ground magnetometer surveys, mapping and litho-geochemical rock sampling programmes.
