Significant Grade Increass At The Gabriel Project
VANCOUVER - Tearlach Resources Limited reported on the duplicate assay program initiated, during the due diligence period, prior to signing the JV agreement on the Gabriel Property with Blackrock Silver. The re-assaying efforts by the Company indicate lithium grades that average 28% higher than original assays across 57 samples collected by Tearlach’s world-class Reno-based exploration team with significant lithium expertise. The highest sample reported 62% higher lithium grade.
Morgan Lekstrom, CEO of Tearlach, said, “Improved assays not only confirm the discovery that BRC made but expands the cut-off mineralized area significantly. This analysis indicates a possible increase in lithium grade for the Gabriel property and comes from a highly experienced team with a deep understanding of clay lithium exploration and assay methods. More proof that having a team of experts that have been involved in clay lithium for decades has already proven invaluable to give us an exploration advantage. Our team has drilled multiple lithium clay deposits around the world and will continue to aggressively lead the charge. We are currently applying for drill permits and anticipate drilling to commence in short order.”
Next steps include: 1) Submit Drill Permits shortly. 2) Prescreened drill contractor, working on engagement. 3) Drill a large 20-hole PQ Core drill program, including step outs and confirmation drilling. 4) Run Concurrent engineering and metallurgical paths.
