VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AZINCOURT ENERGY CORP. ("Azincourt" or the "Company") (TSX.V: AAZ, OTCQB: AZURF), is pleased to provide an update on summer exploration plans at the Big Hill Lithium Project in southern Newfoundland, Canada.
溫哥華，不列顛哥倫比亞省，2023年7月11日(環球通訊社)阿辛考特能源公司。(“AzinCourt”或“公司”)(TSX.V：AAZ，OTCQB：AZURF)很高興向您介紹加拿大紐芬蘭南部大山鋰專案夏季勘探計劃的最新情況。
The Big Hill Lithium Project is a 7,500-hectare Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum ("LCT") exploration property located in southwestern Newfoundland, Canada. The project is located along the south side of the Hermitage Flexure, approximately five kilometres south of the Benton/Sokoman JV partnership ("the Alliance") discovery of the Kraken Lithium Pegmatite Field (Figure 1).
大山鋰專案是一個佔地7500公頃的鋰銫鉭(LCT)勘探專案，位於加拿大紐芬蘭西南部。該專案位於赫米蒂奇彎曲帶南側，位於發現克拉肯鋰偉晶巖田的本頓/索科曼合資企業(“聯盟”)以南約5公里處(圖1)。
The project lies within the Burgeo Plutonic Complex and numerous granite dykes can be seen cutting the Burgeo granites. Coarse-grained pegmatite dykes greater than 2 meters wide and 20 meters long occur south of the property and are anticipated to be present on the Big Hill exploration licenses.
該專案位於Burgeo深成復合體內，可以看到許多花崗巖堤壩切割著Burgeo花崗巖。大於2米寬、20米長的粗粒偉晶巖堤出現在該物業的南部，預計將出現在大山勘探許可證上。

Devonian plutonic suites in the Canadian Appalachians are locally associated with Sn, W, Mo, and Indium mineralization in breccias, stockworks and vein type settings. In southwestern Newfoundland, some of the most mineralogically prospective plutons are part of the Burgeo intrusive suite and host Lithium-bearing pegmatites adjacent to their intrusive-metasedimentary-metavolcanic boundaries. This relationship suggests that there may be tectonic and/or structural controls on pluton emplacement and localization of mineralization.
加拿大阿巴拉契亞地區泥盆紀深成岩套與角礫巖、網脈和脈型環境中的錫、鎢、鉬和銦礦化有關。在紐芬蘭西南部，一些最具礦物學遠景的深成岩體是Burgeo侵入岩套的一部分，並在其侵入-變質沉積-變火山岩邊界附近寄生含鋰偉晶巖。這一關係表明，可能存在構造和/或構造對巖體侵位和礦化定位的控制。
Preliminary prospecting at Big Hill has identified four known target areas, based on extrapolation of bedrock geology, structural disaggregation of stratigraphic blocks, and apparent folding and late shear faulting. Similar structural elements are observed in the Kraken Lithium Pegmatite field although the host rocks differ in terms of deformation. These targets are known as the River, Road, MK, and Ridge Targets and will be the focus of the initial exploration. Other information suggesting potential for lithium-bearing pegmatite mineralization comes from extrapolation and evaluation of multiple shear fault orientations projected onto the property. The strike length of the targets ranges up to approximately 200 meters.
大山的初步勘探根據基岩地質推斷、地層區塊的結構解體以及明顯的褶皺和晚期剪切斷層作用，確定了四個已知目標區。在克拉肯鋰偉晶巖田中也觀察到了類似的構造元素，儘管寄主岩石在變形方面有所不同。這些目標被稱為河、路、MK和山脊目標，將是最初勘探的重點。其他表明含鋰偉晶巖成礦潛力的資訊來自對投射到該財產上的多個剪切斷層方向的推斷和評估。目標的打擊距離可達約200米。
Summer Exploration Plans
暑期探險計劃
No lithium specific historical exploration work has taken place on the Big Hill licenses to date. The initial field program for the Big Hill Project will be divided into multiple phases.
到目前為止，Big Hill許可證上還沒有進行過專門針對鋰的歷史勘探工作。大山專案的初始現場計劃將分成多個階段。
A recent review of all available geophysical data and satellite imagery for the project area has resulted in 29 targets being selected from the geophysical data and an additional 52 targets selected from high resolution satellite imagery. Evaluation of these target sets will be the focus of Phase One of the exploration program, with coincident targets within these two sets taking a higher priority for initial evaluation.
最近對專案區現有的所有地球物理數據和衛星圖像進行了審查，結果從地球物理數據中選擇了29個目標，從高解析度衛星圖像中選擇了另外52個目標。對這些目標集的評估將是勘探計劃第一階段的重點，這兩個目標集內的重合目標將優先用於初始評估。
Phase One will focus on:
第一階段的重點是：
- The acquisition of high-resolution satellite Vivid Standard 30cm Imagery Mosaic, 5m CE90 Accuracy, 4-Band (BGRN), Cloud-Optimized.
- Remote Sensing mapping of pegmatites using Sentinel imagery to generate additional targets.
- Helicopter supported ground-truthing exercise focused on the high priority geophysics, satellite imagery, and remote sensing targets.
- 獲取的高解析度衛星Vivid標準30釐米圖像拼接，5米CE90精度，4波段(BGRN)，雲優化。
- 使用哨兵圖像對偉晶巖進行遙感測繪，以生成額外的目標。
- 直升機支持的地面實況演習側重於高度優先的地球物理、衛星圖像和遙感目標。
Phase One is expected to commence in mid to late July. Phase Two will follow up on the results from Phase One and any additional targets generated. The Company will issue updates as the program commences.
第一階段預計將於7月中旬至下旬開始。第二階段將跟進第一階段的結果和產生的任何額外目標。該公司將在計劃開始時發佈更新。
"We are excited to get on the ground and start doing some meaningful exploration work at Big Hill," said VP, Exploration Trevor Perkins. "The area is significantly underexplored for lithium, and the nearby Kraken discovery highlights that the potential exists for other lithium deposits to occur and can not be overlooked," continued Mr. Perkins.
探險副總裁特雷弗·帕金斯說：“我們很高興能到達地面，開始在大山進行一些有意義的勘探工作。”“該地區的鋰勘探嚴重不足，附近的克拉肯發現突顯了其他鋰礦床的潛在存在，不容忽視，”珀金斯繼續說道。

East Preston Analytical Update
東普雷斯頓分析更新
Azincourt is still waiting for final analytical results from the winter 2022-23 drill program at East Preston. After a review of the initial data received from the lab, there were significant quality control issues noted within the results. As part of the quality control process, standards with a known concentration of uranium are inserted in the sample batches. These samples are analyzed to confirm that the results for that batch of samples are within an acceptable range based on the results of the standards. The issues noticed manifested as anomalous results occurring in the samples analyzed immediately following several of the standards. As a result, these samples were reanalyzed. Once the issue was identified and resolved, the company requested that all samples of the affected batches be run through the process to ensure a complete consistent data set. This request was made to the lab in mid-June, and the Company is expecting to receive the final results in the next week to 10 days. Results will be release immediately once the data is reviewed and verified.
阿辛考特仍在等待東普雷斯頓2022-23年冬季鑽探專案的最終分析結果。在審查了從實驗室收到的初始數據後，結果中注意到了重大的質量控制問題。作為質量控制過程的一部分，在樣品批次中插入已知鈾濃度的標準。對這些樣品進行分析，以根據標準的結果確認該批次樣品的結果在可接受的範圍內。注意到的問題表現為在緊接著幾個標準之後分析的樣品中出現異常結果。因此，對這些樣本進行了重新分析。一旦問題被髮現和解決，該公司要求所有受影響批次的樣本都通過該過程進行，以確保完整一致的數據集。這一請求是在6月中旬向實驗室提出的，公司預計將在下週至10天內收到最終結果。一旦數據經過審查和核實，結果將立即公佈。
