Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 5, 2024) - Newpath Resources Inc. (CSE: PATH) (FSE:0MZ) (OTC PINK: RDYFF) ("Newpath" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on the preliminary analyses of analytical results received from the prospecting program carried out on its Alpha/Bravo Project (the "Project") during the late summer and fall of 2023. In addition to the Hilltop Pegmatite Showing (See November 22, 2023 news release), a preliminary review of the analytical results received in December has allowed the Company to refine and prioritize additional target areas that will be pursued in 2024.

不列顛哥倫比亞省溫哥華--(Newsfile Corp.,2024 年 2 月 5 日)— Newpath Resources Inc.(CSE: PATH)(FSE: 0MZ)(場外交易代碼:RDYFF)(”新路徑“或者”公司“) 很高興提供對其Alpha/Bravo項目(”)開展的探礦計劃所得分析結果的初步分析的最新情況項目“) 在 2023 年的夏末和秋季。除了山頂偉晶岩展覽(見2023年11月22日新聞稿)外,對12月收到的分析結果的初步審查使公司能夠完善和優先考慮將在2024年追求的其他目標區域。

Alpha/Bravo 2023 Exploration Program Highlights

Alpha/Bravo 2023 探索計劃亮點

  • Key trace element (Li, Cs, Rb and Ta) whole rock and Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy ("LIBS") analyses of samples collected from the Alpha/Bravo Project yield results consistent with trace element signatures and diagnostic rare earth element ratios associated with fertile granites, beryl type and spodumene subtype pegmatites.
  • In addition to the Hilltop Target Area, whole rock major element analyses identifies three new target areas centred on peraluminous, potentially fertile granite occurrences on the Alpha/Bravo Project
  • 關鍵微量元素(Li、Cs、Rb 和 Ta)全巖和激光誘導擊穿光譜(”LIBS“) 對從Alpha/Bravo項目收集的樣本進行分析得出的結果與與肥沃花崗岩、綠柱石型和鋰輝石亞型偉晶岩相關的微量元素特徵和診斷性稀土元素比率一致。
  • 除山頂目標區域外,全巖主要元素分析還確定了三個新的目標區域,這些區域以Alpha/Bravo項目中可能肥沃的過鋁質花崗岩礦點爲中心

Although the Company has not yet visually identified spodumene or other lithium bearing minerals on the Project, geochemical analyses of whole rock samples and LIBS scans of lithium indicator minerals have identified a number of positive indicators that support a favourable setting prospective for lithium-cesium-tantalum ("LCT") pegmatite deposits including;

儘管該公司尚未目視識別出該項目中的鋰輝石或其他含鋰礦物,但對整個岩石樣本的地球化學分析以及對鋰指示礦物的LIBS掃描已經確定了許多積極的指標,這些指標支持了鋰-銫-鉭的有利前景(”LCT“) 偉晶岩沉積物包括;

  • Elevated lithium and cesium contents in muscovite *
  • Elevated Rb and Cs contents in potassic feldspar *
  • K/Rb ratios from potassic feldspar *
  • Trace element analyses of 74 samples yielded Mg/Li ratios of less than thirty (30) and 28 samples yielded Nb/Ta ratios of less than eight (8), indicating a high degree of fractionation.
  • 白雲母中鋰和銫含量升高*
  • 鉀長石中 Rb 和 Cs 含量升高*
  • 來自鉀長石的 K/Rb 比率 *
  • 對74個樣品的微量元素分析得出的Mg/Li比率小於三十(30),28個樣本得出的Nb/Ta比率小於八(8),這表明分餾程度很高。

Just like other exploration companies exploring for LCT pegmatites in the Quetico Subprovince, the Company relied on an extensive body of research to assess whole rock and individual mineral geochemistry. In particular, the work by Selway, Breaks and Tindle (2008); summarized in A Review of Rare-Element (Li-Cs-Ta) Pegmatite Exploration Techniques for the Superior Province, Canada, and Large Worldwide Tantalum Deposits. Their research described a range of bulk trace element contents and rare element ratios associated with fertile granites and ranges of element compositions from bulk potassic feldspar and muscovite analyses associated with fertile granites, beryl type and spodumene subtype pegmatites. Based on these criteria, a large proportion of the geochemical results from whole rock analyses of samples collected from the Alpha/Bravo Project are consistent with the ranges of elements and associated rare earth element ratios associated with fertile granites. Furthermore, LIBS analyses of individual K feldspar and muscovite grains found within pegmatites found on the property have yielded ranges of element (Li, Cs, K, Rb) compositions and trace element ratios that are also favourable. Based on these results, the Company has identified four target areas (Including Hilltop) for follow up exploration in 2024.

就像其他在奎蒂科分省勘探LCT偉晶岩的勘探公司一樣,該公司依靠大量的研究來評估整個岩石和單個礦物的地球化學。特別是 Selway、Breaks and Tindle(2008)的作品;總結於 加拿大蘇必利爾省和全球大型鉭礦牀稀有元素(Li-Cs-Ta)偉晶岩勘探技術綜述 他們的研究描述了一系列與肥沃花崗岩相關的體積微量元素含量和稀有元素比率,以及與肥沃花崗岩、綠柱石型和鋰輝石亞型偉晶岩相關的塊狀鉀長石和白雲母分析得出的各種元素成分。根據這些標準,對從Alpha/Bravo項目收集的樣品進行全巖分析得出的很大一部分地球化學結果與與肥沃花崗岩相關的元素範圍和相關的稀土元素比率一致。此外,LIBS對在該地質上發現的偉晶岩中發現的單個K長石和白雲母顆粒進行了分析,得出的元素(Li、Cs、K、Rb)成分和微量元素比率也很不錯。基於這些結果,該公司確定了2024年後續勘探的四個目標區域(包括山頂)。

During the first-pass prospecting programme approximately 450 outcrops were visited, 113 pegmatites evaluated and 142 representative grab, float and channel samples were collected and submitted for analyses. Although most of the accessible roads were prospected, the sample density remains sparse and a second, more focussed phase of prospecting and mapping will be required to follow up on positive geochemical results from the 2023 program, particularly in areas with no road access.

在首次探礦計劃中,共訪問了約450個露頭,評估了113塊偉晶岩,收集了142個具有代表性的抓取、浮標和河道樣本並提交分析。儘管對大多數無障礙道路進行了勘探,但樣本密度仍然稀少,需要進入第二個更有針對性的勘探和測繪階段,以跟進2023年計劃的積極地球化學成果,特別是在沒有道路通行的地區。

Sampling and Analytical Protocols

採樣和分析協議

Newpath's field consultants implemented industry standard sampling, analytical and QA/QC protocols during the collection of all rock samples collected during the 2023 exploration campaign from the Alpha/Bravo Project. Grab samples were collected in the field with a hammer, channel samples were collected using a rock saw to cut parallel cuts and collected by hammer and chisel. The vast majority of samples collected were greater than 1 kg in weight. The internal QA/QC protocol included inserting and monitoring either an OREAS lithium standard or blank material approximately every twenty samples collected.

在收集2023年勘探活動期間從Alpha/Bravo項目收集的所有岩石樣本時,Newpath的現場顧問實施了行業標準的採樣、分析和質量保證/質量控制協議。採集樣本是用錘子在野外採集的,通道樣本是用巖鋸切割平行切口採集的,用錘子和鑿子採集。收集的絕大多數樣本重量超過1千克。內部質量保證/質量控制協議包括大約每收集二十個樣本插入和監測OREAS鋰標準或空白材料。

All rock grab samples were put in sturdy plastic bags, tagged, and sealed by the field geologists. Sample bags were then put in rice sacks and kept secure before delivered by our exploration consultants to AGAT Laboratories Ltd. ("AGAT") in Thunder Bay, Ontario. AGAT is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standards and certified to ISO 9001:2015.

所有岩石採集樣本都裝在堅固的塑料袋中,由野外地質學家貼上標籤並密封。然後將樣品袋放入大米袋中並妥善保管,然後由我們的勘探顧問交付給AGAT實驗室有限公司。(”AGAT“)在安大略省桑德貝。AGAT 已獲得 ISO/IEC 17025:2017 標準的認證,並獲得了 ISO 9001:2015 認證。

Field crews used a SciAps Z903 LIBS handheld scanner to analyze specific minerals in rock samples. The LIBS unit was initially calibrated by SciAps, Inc. using a matrix matched Li pegmatite calibration based on commercially available standard reference materials. The LIBS unit calibration was also checked regularly in the field utilizing the same standards.

現場工作人員使用 sciAPS Z903 LIBS 手持式掃描儀來分析岩石樣本中的特定礦物。LIBS 單元最初由 SciAps, Inc. 使用基於市售標準參考材料的矩陣匹配鋰偉晶岩校準進行校準。還使用相同的標準定期在現場檢查LIBS單元校準。

*The geochemical results from the LIBs scanner are considered semi quantitative and being used by the Company in a comparative context. The primary objective is to identify fractionation trends by assessing the relative concentrations of lithium, cesium, potassium, and rubidium within specific indicator minerals, primarily K-feldspar and Muscovite minerals. Due to the limitations and uncertainties associated with handheld LIBS technology, the company does not exclusively depend on LIBS analyses for determining the element compositions of entire rock or mineral samples.

*來自LIBs掃描儀的地球化學結果被視爲半定量結果,並由公司在比較背景下使用。主要目標是通過評估特定指示礦物(主要是鉀長石和白雲母礦物)中鋰、、鉀和釕的相對濃度來確定分餾趨勢。由於手持式LIBS技術存在侷限性和不確定性,該公司並不完全依賴LIBS分析來確定整個岩石或礦物樣品的元素成分。

Due to the high degree of variability and heterogeneity in the sampled pegmatites and granites, the reported sample analyses may not be representative of the overall mineralization/characteristics of the bedrock.

由於採樣偉晶岩和花崗岩的高度可變性和異質性,報告的樣本分析可能無法代表基岩的整體礦化/特徵。
