Assay Highlights:
0.62 % LiO, 5030 ppm Rb, 1880 ppm Cs and 122 ppm Ta in green muscovite pod sample 889653,
Oxide Island 10.43 % BeO, 904 ppm Cs and 0.22 % LiO in pure pale green beryl sample 889539,
Beryl Island 3.31 % Ta, 12.50 % Nbin pure black Nb-Ta-oxide mineral sample 889654,
Oxide Island (Figure 3). These are up to 5 cm in diameter and are among the largest Nb-Ta-oxide mineral crystals inOntario .
The presence of Li-rich muscovite, beryl and Nb-Ta oxide minerals in rare-element pegmatites indicates that there is a strong potential for the pegmatites to contain spodumene (Figure 2andFigure 3). The 2.6 km strike length of rare-element mineralization is the focus of Tearlach’s on-going field exploration program (Figure 1).
Tearlach has identified a rare-element pegmatite zone (Figure 1).This zone is where all of the rare-element minerals and elements are concentrated on the property, i.e., beryl, Nb-Ta oxides, Li, Rb, Cs, Nb, Ta, and Be, which all increase with proximity to the spodumene.Tearlach’s next steps to find spodumene are to focus the prospecting on the rare-element pegmatite zone to look for the spodumene.
