Winnipeg, Manitoba--(Newsfile Corp. - January 16, 2024) - Beyond Lithium Inc. (CSE: BY) (OTCQB: BYDMF) (the "Company" or "Beyond Lithium") is pleased to announce the drill results of its 2023 drilling program at the Ear Falls Project (20,623 ha) with core logging facility located in the town of Ear Falls, Ontario, that is just 10 minutes away from the site. The 2023 drilling program completed seven AQ-sized drill holes totaling 329.59m. The seven drill holes drilled tested 200m strike length of the initial spodumene-bearing pegmatites discovery at Ear Falls, the Wenasaga North Zone, with grab samples up to 4.54% Li2O (see press release dated September 17, 2023).
曼尼托巴省溫尼伯--(Newsfile Corp.,2024年1月16日)——Beyond Lithium Inc.(CSE: BY)(OTCQB:BYDMF)(“公司” 或 “Beyond Lithium”)欣然宣佈其2023年在Ear Falls項目(20,623公頃)的鑽探結果,該項目的核心測井設施位於安大略省的厄爾福爾斯鎮,距離現場僅10分鐘路程。2023 年的鑽探計劃完成了七個 AQ 大小的鑽孔,總計 329.59 米。鑽出的七個鑽孔測試了最初在韋納薩加北區Ear Falls發現的含鋰輝石偉晶岩的200米走向長度,採集的樣本高達4.54%2O(參見 2023 年 9 月 17 日的新聞稿)。
Allan Frame, President & CEO of Beyond Lithium, stated: "Our technical team could not be more pleased with the results from our initial drilling campaign at Ear Falls. The results released today meet and exceed our objectives for this early-stage project. To advance the project this quickly is remarkable. Firstly, the strong and pervasive lithium and cesium mineralization near surface at the Wenasaga North Zone indicates the potential of a larger system with wider pegmatites at depth and along strike North Zone. Secondly, the Sandy Creek West Zone has the same geochemical signatures with highly anomalous lithium and cesium as the drilling results from the Wenasaga North Zone implying the Sandy Creek West Zone is proximal to spodumene mineralization confirming the 13-kilometer prospective corridor."
Beyond Lithium總裁兼首席執行官艾倫·弗雷姆表示:“我們的技術團隊對我們在Ear Falls的首次鑽探活動的結果感到非常滿意。今天公佈的結果達到並超過了我們對這個早期項目的目標。能如此迅速地推進該項目真是太了不起了。首先,韋納薩加北區地表附近的強大而普遍的鋰和銫礦化作用表明,在深部和走向北區沿線具有更寬的偉晶岩的更大系統的潛力。其次,桑迪溪西區具有與韋納薩加北區的鑽探結果相同的地球化學特徵,其中含有高度異常的鋰和銫元素,這意味着桑迪溪西區靠近鋰輝石礦化,證實了13公里的前景走廊。”
He added: "From a strategic perspective, it is important to keep in mind that the positive results announced today are from only one of many promising projects we have in the district. In that district, Beyond Lithium has the Victory Project, the Ear Falls Project, and the Mavis Lake Group Projects (Satellite, Laval, Gullwing-tot, Webb East, Webb West, Temple Bay, Ogani Lake, and McKenzie Bay) which are located within 100 km of each other. The district also hosts three regionally significant lithium deposits:
他補充說:“從戰略角度來看,重要的是要記住,今天宣佈的積極結果僅來自我們在該地區衆多有前途的項目中的一個。在該地區,Beyond Lithium有勝利項目、Ear Falls項目和Mavis Lake集團項目(衛星、拉瓦爾、Gullwing-tot、Webb East、Webb West、Temple Bay、Ogani Lake和麥肯齊灣),它們彼此相距不到100公里。該地區還擁有三個具有區域重要性的鋰礦牀:
- The Mavis Lake Lithium deposit owned by Critical Resources Ltd. with 8 Mt at 1.07% Li2O at a cut-off grade of 0.3% Li2O. (1)
- The Separation Rapids Lithium deposit owned by Avalon Advanced Materials with a PEA of the pre-tax NPV (8% discount rate) calculated at C$156 million and the IRR at 27.1%. (2)
- The Root and McComb Lithium deposit owned by Green Technologies Metals with 12.6 Mt at 1.21% Li2O at a cut-off grade of 0.2% Li2O. (3)
- Critical Resources Ltd.擁有的Mavis Lake鋰礦牀擁有800萬噸,鋰含量爲1.07%,臨界品位爲0.3%的鋰2O。 (1)
- 阿瓦隆先進材料公司擁有的分離急流鋰礦牀,其稅前淨現值(8%的折扣率)的PEA爲1.56億加元,內部收益率爲27.1%。 (2)
- Green Technologies Metals擁有的Root和McComb鋰礦牀擁有1,260萬噸,鋰含量爲1.21%,臨界品位爲0.2%2O。 (3)
Wenasaga North Zone Drilling
Multiple subparallel spodumene-bearing pegmatites have been mapped over a 1.5km trend at the Wenasaga North Zone since its discovery made in September 2023. The seven AQ sized drill holes drill only tested 200m (13%) along strike of the 1.5km long spodumene-bearing pegmatites trend identified within the Wenasaga North Zone (Figure 1).
Wenasaga 北區鑽探
自 2023 年 9 月發現多塊亞平行鋰輝石偉晶岩以來,已經在韋納薩加北區 1.5 千米的趨勢上繪製了多塊亞平行鋰輝石偉晶岩的地圖。七個 AQ 大小的鑽孔鑽機僅沿着韋納薩加北區確定的長達 1.5 千米的含鋰輝石偉晶岩走向走向 200 米(13%)進行了測試(圖 1)。
The seven drill holes only drill tested up to 60m below surface. The encouraging results and useful data collected from the 2023 drilling program warrant longer drill holes to drill test the deeper part of the system and more step-out holes to continue expanding the footprint of the system. A drilling and trenching permit application was submitted last month.
七個鑽孔僅在地表以下 60 米處進行了測試。從2023年鑽探計劃中收集到的令人鼓舞的結果和有用的數據保證了更長的鑽孔來鑽探系統的更深部分,並有更多的跨出孔以繼續擴大系統的佔地面積。上個月提交了鑽探和挖溝許可證申請。

圖 1 2023 年鑽探測試了 Wenasaga 北區總體 1.5 千米趨勢的 200 米區域
Holes #1 to 4 (EF23-01 to EF23-04) all intercepted multiple subparallel spodumene-bearing pegmatites packaged with metasediments at depth with the pegmatites zone confirming higher grade zone are enveloped by wider pegmatites zone that was observed from the stripping and channel sampling program. The 2023 stripping and channel sampling program only outlined the pegmatites zone up to 9.52m due to the disturbance limitation allowed for stripping on surface under our initial permit. The pegmatites zone delineated at depth including the projected spodumene pegmatites from the NE part of the Wenasaga North Zone have now been expanded up to 70m in width that is seven times wider that what was observed from the surface stripping program (Figure 2). The progression of the 2023 exploration program from surface mapping to surface stripping and to follow-up drilling has proven to be effective at exposing wider pegmatites zone from surface to at depth.
第 #1 至 4 洞(EF23-01 至 EF23-04)均截獲了多塊亞平行含鋰輝石的偉晶岩,深度封裝有變沉積物,偉晶岩區證實更高品位的區域被更寬的偉晶岩區所包圍,這是從剝離和通道採樣程序中觀察到的。2023 年的剝離和通道採樣計劃僅概述了高達 9.52 米的偉晶岩區域,這是因爲根據我們的初始許可,允許在地表上剝離干擾限制。在深度劃定的偉晶岩區域,包括來自韋納薩加北區東北部分的投射的鋰輝石偉晶岩,現已擴大到70米的寬度,是表面剝離計劃中觀測到的寬度的七倍(圖2)。事實證明,2023年勘探計劃從地表測繪到地表剝離再到後續鑽探的進展可以有效暴露從地表到深度更寬的偉晶岩區域。

In addition, holes #1-4 (EF23-01 to EF23-04) are mineralized with lithium and cesium from top to bottom of the holes (Figure 3). On top of that, 6 out of the 7 holes (EF23-01 to EF23-05 & EF23-07) were shut down in lithium mineralization demonstrating the system remains open at depth and along strike (Figure 4).
此外,鑽孔 #1 -4(EF23-01 到 EF23-04)從上到下都用鋰和銫進行礦化(圖 3)。最重要的是,在鋰礦化過程中,7個孔(EF23-01 到 EF23-05 和 EF23-07)中有6個被關閉,這表明該系統在深度和走向上仍然是開放的(圖 4)。

- 0.20% Li2O 和 188ppm Cs 超過 2987 米 (EF23-01)
Moreover, drilling results confirmed a new pegmatites zone at depth that was not exposed previously on surface from the recent stripping and channel sampling program in which suggesting deeper holes should be considered in the next drill program (Figure 4):
此外,鑽探結果證實了一個新的偉晶岩區域,該區域以前在最近的剝離和海道採樣計劃中沒有暴露在地表上,該計劃表明,在下一個鑽探計劃中應考慮更深的鑽孔(圖 4):
- 0.22% Li2O over 9.85m from 39.80 to 49.65m (EF23-04).
- 0.22% 鋰2O 從 39.80 到 49.65 萬以上 (EF23-04)。
Mr. Lawrence Tsang, VP Exploration for Beyond Lithium noted: "As the lithium and rare earth minerals concentrated fluids and volatiles passed through the Wenasaga North Zone's structure and formed spodumene-bearing pegmatites, the fluids also interacted and altered the surrounding host rock resulting as the alteration halo."
Beyond Lithium勘探副總裁Lawrence Tsang先生指出:“當鋰和稀土礦物濃縮液體和揮發物穿過韋納薩加北區的結構並形成含有鋰輝石的偉晶岩時,這些流體還相互作用並改變了周圍的主體岩石,形成了蝕變光環。”
"In general, the wider the alteration halo around the pegmatites is, the larger amount of fluid and the larger the system that altered a large area of surrounding rocks. In reverse, a small and narrow dyke system would result a slender (1-2m) to no alteration halo around the pegmatites. Yet at the Wenasaga North Zone, the Li and Cs values in the host rocks and the alteration halo around the spodumene-bearing dykes persist for over 10 to 30m indicating that these pegmatites are probably connected to a larger system at depth or along strike that is not exposed on surface (Figure 5)."
“總的來說,偉晶岩周圍的蝕變光環越大,流體量越大,改變周圍岩石大面積的系統也就越大。相反,一個小而狹窄的堤壩系統將導致偉晶岩周圍出現細長(1-2m)甚至沒有變化光環。然而,在韋納薩加北區,主巖中的鋰和碳值以及含鋰輝石岩脈周圍的蝕變光環持續時間超過10至30米,這表明這些偉晶岩可能在深度或走向上與地表未暴露的更大系統相連(圖5)。”
In geology, alteration is a common term used to describe the transformation of rocks and minerals due to various geological processes, such as weathering, metamorphism, and hydrothermal activity (4). Alteration halo refers to a change in the physical or chemical properties of rocks and minerals in the host rocks around the main structure containing the rare earth minerals concentrated fluids and volatiles. The alteration was caused when the hot, mineral-rich fluids interact with the surrounding host rocks and minerals, causing them to change in terms of their mineral composition, texture, and structure. For example, the extensive lithium and cesium mineralization in the metasediment host rocks around the pegmatites is the alteration halo as a result of the rare earth concentrated fluid passing through the pegmatites structure and altering the surrounding host rocks. The wider alteration halo indicates a more extensive alteration event, while a narrower alteration halo suggests a more limited or shallow system(4).
在地質學中,蝕變是一個常用術語,用於描述各種地質過程(例如風化、變質作用和熱液活動)引起的岩石和礦物質的轉變 (4)。蝕變暈指的是包含稀土礦物濃縮液體和揮發物的主體岩石周圍岩石和礦物的物理或化學性質的變化。這種變化是在炎熱、富含礦物質的流體與周圍的宿主岩石和礦物相互作用時引起的,導致它們的礦物成分、質地和結構發生變化。例如,偉晶岩周圍的變沉積物宿主巖中大量的鋰和銫礦化是蝕變光環,這是稀土濃縮液體穿過偉晶岩結構並改變周圍宿主岩石的結果。更寬的變化光環表示更廣泛的變化事件,而更窄的變化光環表示系統更有限或更淺(4)。

Lawrence Tsang commented further: "Beyond Lithium's technical team is thrilled with getting these great results from the AQ sized drilling program that is less than a total of 330m of drilling. The program was able to accomplish what we originally designed the drilling program for which was to gather additional geological data to evaluate the Ear Falls system for planning the next drilling and exploration program. We now have a much better understanding of the Ear Falls system in terms of geochemistry, structure, lithology, mineralogy, size, and potential. The extensive lithium and cesium mineralization we observed in the alteration halo around the spodumene dykes indicating these dykes are most likely connected to a larger system either at depth or along strike (Figure 5); six of the seven holes ended in mineralization suggesting the system remains open at depth and along strike. In short, the 2023 program has delineated more drill targets for us to follow up in the next drill program for deeper and more step-out holes (Figure 5)."
Lawrence Tsang進一步評論說:“Beyond Lithium的技術團隊很高興能從AQ規模的鑽探計劃中獲得這些出色的成果,該計劃總鑽探量不到330米。該計劃得以完成我們最初設計的鑽探計劃,即收集額外的地質數據,以評估Ear Falls系統,以規劃下一個鑽探和勘探計劃。現在,我們在地球化學、結構、巖性、礦物學、大小和潛力方面對Ear Falls系統有了更好的了解。我們在鋰輝石堤壩周圍的蝕變光環中觀察到大量的鋰和銫礦化,這表明這些堤壩很可能在深度或沿走向與更大的系統相連(圖 5);七個孔中有六個以礦化結束,這表明該系統在深度和走向上仍然是開放的。簡而言之,2023年計劃已經確定了更多的鑽探目標,供我們在下一個鑽探計劃中繼續進行後續工作,鑽出更深、更大的階梯孔(圖 5)。”

Upsize Potential
Based on the 2023 stripping and channel sampling programs, the Ear Falls Project was observed as being a highly structurally controlled system. So far, the 2023 program only drill tested the 030-040 azimuth orientation which is one of the two dyke orientations identified from the striping and the drilling programs. The other orientation is at 100-120 azimuth, probably a conjugate set along the main structure, yet to be drill tested. The next drill program will also be drill testing the 100-120 azimuth orientation to determine which orientation, the 030-040 or the 100-120 azimuth, is the dominate set and also to look for where the two orientations might converge together and dilate for hosting the wider and higher lithium-grade pegmatites (Figure 6).
提升潛力
根據2023年的剝離和信道採樣程序,Ear Falls項目被認爲是一個高度結構控制的系統。到目前爲止,2023年計劃僅測試了030-040方位角,這是從條帶和鑽探計劃中確定的兩個堤壩方向之一。另一個方向是 100-120 方位角,可能是沿主結構設置的共軛方位,尚待鑽孔測試。下一個鑽探計劃還將對100-120方位角方向進行鑽孔測試,以確定哪個方向,即030-040或100-120方位角是主要方位角,並尋找這兩個方向可能匯聚在一起並擴張以容納更寬更高的鋰級偉晶岩(圖 6)。
Furthermore, the surface exposed spodumene-bearing pegmatites (see press release dated December 19, 2023) correlate well with the spodumene-bearing pegmatites intercepted in drill holes at depth. Based on the projected orientation of these dykes at 030-040 azimuth, the additional spodumene-bearing pegmatites located northeast and southwest from the drill tested area (labeled as "NE" and "SW" in Figure 6) are additional subparallel dykes instead of the continuation of the same dykes which would now have doubled the width of the Wenasaga North Zone from 35 to 70m (Figure 2).
此外,表面暴露的含鋰輝石偉晶岩(見2023年12月19日的新聞稿)與深度鑽孔中截獲的含鋰輝石偉晶岩密切相關。根據這些堤壩在方位角030-040處的投影方向,位於鑽探測試區域(圖6中標記爲 “NE” 和 “SW”)東北和西南的額外含鋰輝石偉晶岩是額外的亞平行堤壩,而不是延續的同一個堤壩,現在將韋納薩加北區的寬度從35米增加到70米(圖2)。
The discovery of the Sandy Creek West Zone was made after Beyond Lithium's technical team prospected a new clear-cut area located in the SW region of the 13km exploration corridor (see press release dated December 19, 2023). The Sandy Creek West Zone is situated on a 100-meter-wide ridge with numerous pegmatite outcrops with grab samples assaying up to 0.4% Li2O. Both Wenasaga North Zone and the Sandy Creek West Zone geochemical signatures show great similarity in the averaged lithium oxide and cesium grades of host rocks and alteration halo in granite and metasediments assaying at about 0.20% Li2O and 200ppm Cs (Table 1). This background geochemistry likeness essentially implies the proximity of spodumene mineralization at the Sandy Creek West Zone.
桑迪溪西區的發現是在Beyond Lithium的技術團隊勘探了位於13公里勘探走廊西南地區的一個新的空曠區域之後發現的(見2023年12月19日的新聞稿)。桑迪溪西區位於一條 100 米寬的山脊上,有許多偉晶岩露頭,採集樣本的鋰含量高達 0.4%2O. Wenasaga North Zone 和 Sandy Creek West Zone 的地球化學特徵在宿主岩石的平均氧化鋰和銫品位以及花崗岩和變沉積物中的蝕變光環方面都顯示出極大的相似性,測定鋰含量約爲 0.20%2O 和 200ppm Cs(表 1)。這種背景地球化學的相似性本質上意味着鋰輝石礦化位於桑迪溪西區。

表 1 Wenasaga北區和桑迪溪西區之間宿主巖的平均Li2O%和Cs背景等級以及蝕變光環相似度
Lawrence Tsang concluded: "Most lithium deposits contain - or are modeled with - both zones of higher grade of over 1% Li2O and zones of above cut-off grade at about 0.20 to 0.40% Li2O. At this stage for the Ear Falls Project, it is more important to understand the fundamental geology of the system to determine if the project has the prospectivity to outline an economical deposit rather than to put a box around the system and start defining a smaller section of the system. Especially, we are just scratching the surface at Ear Falls where the pervasive lithium and cesium mineralization in six out of the seven drill holes demonstrated the Wenasaga North Zone could connect to something bigger at depth or along strike. Also, the improved understandings of the structural control and the geochemical signatures of the dykes have enhanced our confidence to explore the Sandy Creek West Zone and to expand along the 13 km exploration corridor. At this stage, the Wenasaga North Zone only accounts for 1% of the entire Ear Falls Project. The 2023 drilling only drill tested 200m of strike length and 60m below surface. As we continue to expand and to drill deeper and along trend, we will eventually get to the hotter parts and the higher grade of the system."
Lawrence Tsang總結道:“大多數鋰礦牀都含有(或以此爲模型)兩個更高品位的鋰區域,均超過1%2O 和高於臨界等級的區域 Li 約爲 0.20 至 0.40%2O. 對於Ear Falls項目的現階段,更重要的是了解該系統的基本地質情況,以確定該項目是否有可能勾勒出經濟沉積物的輪廓,而不是在系統周圍放一個方框然後開始定義系統的一小部分。特別是,我們只是在Ear Falls地表上劃清地表,七個鑽孔中有六個鑽孔中普遍存在的鋰和銫礦化作用,這表明Wenasaga北區可能在深度或沿走向上與更大的礦物相連。此外,對堤壩結構控制和地球化學特徵的認識有所提高,這增強了我們探索桑迪溪西區以及沿着13公里勘探走廊擴展的信心。在現階段,韋納薩加北區僅佔整個Ear Falls項目的1%。2023 年僅鑽探的鑽探長度爲 200 米,地表以下 60 米。隨着我們繼續擴張和深入鑽探,我們最終將進入更熱的部分和更高等級的系統。”

Quality Assurance/Quality Control
All drill core samples were collected under the supervision of Beyond Lithium's geologists. Drill core was transported from the drill to the core processing facility where it was logged and photographed. AQ sized drill cores were sampled as whole core. Samples were then bagged, and certified reference materials were inserted at 10th samples. Groups of samples were placed in rice bags and zip tied in order to maintain a chain-of-custody and transported from Beyond Lithium's core logging facility to SGS laboratory in Red Lake, Ontario.
質量保證/質量控制
所有鑽芯樣本都是在Beyond Lithium的地質學家的監督下采集的。鑽芯從鑽機運送到岩心處理設施,在那裏對其進行記錄和拍照。AQ 大小的鑽芯作爲整個岩心採樣。然後將樣品裝袋,並在 10 點處插入經過認證的參考材料第四 樣本。爲了維持監管鏈,將成組的樣本放入大米袋中,用拉鍊紮好,然後從Beyond Lithium的核心測井設施運送到位於安大略省紅湖的SGS實驗室。
Sample preparation for this drill program was carried out by SGS in Red Lake, Ontario, and the sample analytical work for this drill program was preformed by SGS in Burnaby, British Columbia. Samples were prepared for analysis according to SGS method CRU75: individual samples were crushed to 75% passing through 2 mm screen; a sub-sample was riffle split (SPL-RF) and then pulverized (PUL-85) such that 85% passed through 75 micron screen. A 0.2-gram sub-sample of the pulverized material was then dissolved in a sodium peroxide solution and analysed for lithium according to ALS method ME-ICP82b. Another 0.1-gram sub-sample of the pulverized material was analysed for 56 elements according to SGS method ICM91A50. All results passed the QA/QC screening at the lab, all inserted reference materials returned results that were within acceptable limits.
該鑽探計劃的樣本製備由 SGS 在安大略省紅湖市進行,該鑽探計劃的樣本分析工作由 SGS 在不列顛哥倫比亞省本那比預先制定。根據 SGS 方法 CRU75 製備樣品進行分析:將單個樣品通過 2 mm 篩網壓碎至 75%;子樣品經過縱向分裂 (SPL-RF),然後進行粉碎 (PUL-85),使得 85% 的樣品通過 75 微米的篩網。然後,將粉碎材料的0.2克子樣本溶解在過氧化鈉溶液中,並根據ALS方法ME-ICP82b分析鋰離子。根據SGS方法 ICM91A50,對粉碎材料的另一份0.1克子樣本進行了56種元素的分析。所有結果均通過了實驗室的質量保證/質量控制篩選,所有插入的參考材料返回的結果均在可接受的範圍內。
