The drill hole extended the mineralization eastwardly and is interpreted by Patriot to have intersected part of a large, high-grade zone within the overall pegmatite that has been defined by several earlier drill holes over a strike length of at least 250 metres.
“It is hard to find words to adequately describe the impressive nature of the lithium mineralization in drill hole CV22-083. Visual estimates of spodumene abundance may give you a sense, but assays are the true measure and have certainly astounded with this hole,” Darren Smith, VP exploration of the company, said in a news release.
“As we move east, we are defining a significant high-grade zone at a coarse drill spacing of 50 to 100 metres. The recently commenced winter drill program will continue to probe and delineate this area ahead of an initial mineral resource estimate planned for the first half of 2023,” he added.
In addition to CV22-083, the 2022 drill…
