Frontier’s vice president exploration Garth Drever, said the channel sampling was the company’s first opportunity to validate the spodumene-bearing Pennock dyke beyond the blowout area, with continuous channeling across the dykes.
“Despite being narrow at surface with widths less than 6 metres and requiring additional channeling and mapping prior to any drill testing, we are excited about the potential discovery upside outside of the project’s mining lease area,” he said.
Channel 45, a 1.5-km long pegmatite dyke was first channelled in 2019, with 16 metres grading 1.96% Li2O.
Pennock is located about 22 km northwest of Frontier’s main Spark and PAK deposits, just east of the Manitoba border.
Channel sampling at Pennock followed up on prospecting last year and was part of summer drilling at PAK in May. Exploration in channels 55 and 56 comprised chip sampling in the past when spodumene was identified, Frontier said.
