- Dempster East Lithium Showing with values up to 3.67% Li2O, with high Gallium (Chipmaking) and Tantalum (electronics) values
- Pegmatites form part of the highly evolved Crescent Lake pegmatite swarm and are Tantalum rich, returning the highest tantalum oxide results in Ontario, with an impressive 0.37% Ta2O5 over 1m (Dr. F.W. Breaks, J.B. Selway and A.G. Tindle, 2003).
- Excellent potential to host lithium, cesium, tantalum, gallium and niobium mineralization.
- Total area of 2,710 Hectares, contiguous to Company's Falcon West Lithium Project
- Spodumene is readily observed in outcrops with crystal sizes ranging from 3-15cm on average, and is consistent throughout the entire pegmatite unit - Contacts not exposed currently
- Dempster East pegmatite sampling has returned high lithium values and anomalous beryllium, cesium, gallium, niobium, rubidium, tin, and tantalum values. Results for tantalum, and gallium were also returned with recoverable amounts (Table 1).
The Company’s advisor, Dr. Fred Breaks:
“This property lies adjacent to Tebishogeshik Li-Ta pegmatites and could represent an eastward extension of this pegmatite cluster, where discovery potential is high. The initial results at Dempster East include a pronounced fractionation of tantalum relative to niobium (Nb/Ta mean 0.6 compared with average upper continental crust of 3.8), similar to the adjacent Tebishogeshik pegmatites. The Ta-Nb mineralogy at Tebishogeshik is extremely varied and amongst the most diverse for any lithium pegmatite group in Ontario, as documented in a study by Breaks, Selway, and Tindle (2006) that included over 900 electron microprobe analyses.”
