不列顛哥倫比亞省溫哥華--(Newsfile Corp.,2024年11月1日)——專注於在巴西著名的鋰谷發現電池金屬的勘探公司Spark Energy Minerals Inc.(CSE:SPRK)(場外交易代碼:SPARF)(FSE:8PC)(「Spark」 或 「公司」)很高興提供巴西米納斯吉拉斯州勘探規劃的最新進展。勘探工作將由三個地質採樣小組從優先目標開始,最初的重點是詳細跟蹤位於巴西米納斯吉拉斯州鋰谷的64,359公頃Arapaima鋰項目的政府重質礦物盤濃縮物樣本中發現的鋰輝石礦點。
Exploration Highlights:
探索亮點:
- As highlighted in a recent press release dated October 23rd, 2024, (see news here) Spark has mobilized three field geology stream sampling teams to kickstart exploration over its pipeline of Priority 1 and Priority 2 Target Areas.
- 正如最近在2024年10月23日發佈的新聞稿中所強調的那樣,(見此處的新聞)Spark已動員了三個野外地質溪流採樣小組,啓動了對1級和2級優先目標區域管道的勘探。
- Two teams are dedicated to detailed follow-up around key sample points (See Figure 1), where visible spodumene concentrations were reported in heavy mineral concentrates published by the CPRM (Brazilian Geological Survey) in 20161 and 20232.
- 兩個小組專門圍繞關鍵採樣點進行詳細隨訪(見圖 1),CPrM(巴西地質調查局)在 20161 年和 20232 年發佈的重礦物精礦中報告了可見的鋰輝石濃度。
- The third team has initiated a systematic reconnaissance across the entire tenement, aiming to quickly validate historical data, including information from competitors (Si6, Perpetual), and new targets identified by Spark's geophysical, remote sensing, and geochemical analyses.
- 第三個小組已開始對整個物業單位進行系統偵察,旨在快速驗證歷史數據,包括來自競爭對手(Si6、Perpetual)的信息,以及Spark的地球物理、遙感和地球化學分析確定的新目標。
- These exploration activities are expected to be completed by the end of Q4 2024 with results reported and evaluated in early Q1 2025. The company anticipates that focused follow-up of positive results will allow the generation of targets for the fast-tracking of preliminary drill testing during Q2 of 2025.
- 這些勘探活動預計將在2024年第四季度末完成,並在2025年第一季度初報告和評估結果。該公司預計,對積極結果的集中跟蹤將有助於制定目標,以便在2025年第二季度快速進行初步鑽探測試。
Jon Hill, VP Exploration, Country Manager & Director, Comments on the Exploration Strategy:
勘探副總裁、區域經理兼董事喬恩·希爾對勘探戰略的評論:
"With the initial phase of our Arapaima exploration targeting, ranking, and prioritization complete, we're now in a strong position-both technically and financially-to deliver on the "boots on the ground" aspects of our broader strategy. It's impressive that even a baseline review of public domain government data has revealed such high-quality targets, with visible spodumene already identified in regional mineral pan concentrate samples. This enables us to focus our efforts on high-potential areas within our expansive tenement in the highly prospective Lithium Valley of Brazil."
「隨着我們的Arapaima勘探目標、排名和優先順序的初始階段的完成,我們現在在技術和財務方面都處於強勢地位,可以實現更廣泛戰略的 「實地啓動」。令人印象深刻的是,即使是對公共領域政府數據的基準審查也顯示瞭如此高質量的目標,在區域礦物濃縮物樣本中已經發現了可見的鋰輝石。這使我們能夠將精力集中在我們位於極具前景的巴西鋰谷的廣闊礦權內的高潛力區域。」
Arapaima Lithium Project - Exploration of Priority Targets:
Arapaima 鋰項目——探索優先目標:
- Figure 1 shows the entire Arapaima tenement, marking government heavy mineral pan concentrate sample points (blue stars) where visible spodumene was reported in the CPRM 2016 study. These are superimposed on the highest-ranked lithium prospectivity drainage basin (highlighted in red), as indicated in the CPRM 2023 report.
- Figure 2 expands on Figure 1, adding Spark's newly generated targets derived from public domain geophysical, remote sensing, and geochemical datasets. It also includes planned sampling points for ongoing sediment and mineral pan concentrate collection as part of Spark's "boots on the ground" exploration efforts.
- 圖 1 顯示了整個 Arapaima 礦場,標明瞭在 cpRM 2016 研究中報告的政府重質礦物濃縮物採樣點(藍星)。如 cpRM 2023 報告所示,這些流域疊加在排名最高的鋰前景流域(以紅色突出顯示)上。
- 圖 2 在圖 1 的基礎上進行了擴展,添加了 Spark 新生成的目標,這些目標源自公共領域的地球物理、遙感和地球化學數據集。它還包括計劃中的採樣點,用於持續收集沉積物和礦物盤濃縮物,這是Spark 「地面啓動」 勘探工作的一部分。
This strategic approach aligns with Spark's commitment to efficiently advance exploration in high-potential lithium zones in Brazil's "Lithium Valley."
這種戰略方針符合Spark的承諾,即有效推進巴西 「鋰谷」 高潛力鋰區的勘探。
Figure 3 illustrates the extent of Brazil's "Lithium Valley" in relation to known pegmatite occurrences within the Eastern Brazilian Pegmatite Province. It highlights the central, strategic location of Spark Energy Minerals' 64,359-hectare contiguous tenement package and its proximity to key lithium producers and advanced development projects in this rapidly emerging, globally significant lithium region.
圖 3 說明了巴西 「鋰谷」 的範圍與巴西東部偉晶岩省內已知偉晶岩礦點的關係。它突顯了Spark Energy Minerals佔地64,359公頃的連續礦權項目的中心戰略位置,以及它毗鄰這個迅速崛起的全球重要鋰地區的主要鋰生產商和先進開發項目。
Figure 4 showcases Spark Energy Minerals' 64,359-hectare contiguous tenement package in relation to major lithium-producing mines and key development projects including the location of Si6 Metals Padre Paraíso Project. The background features a simplified geological map, emphasizing the central positioning of the fertile G4 granite intrusions, along with host basement formations of schist and granite-gneiss complexes. Notably, the map also identifies the areas of shallow regolith cover, underscoring the exploration potential within these zones.
圖4顯示了Spark Energy Minerals佔地64,359公頃的連續礦權項目包,這些項目涉及主要的鋰生產礦山和包括Si6金屬帕德里帕拉伊索項目所在地在內的關鍵開發項目。背景以簡化的地質圖爲特色,強調了肥沃的G4花崗岩侵入體以及由片岩和花崗岩片麻岩複合體組成的宿主基底地層的中心位置。值得注意的是,該地圖還確定了淺層地質覆蓋區域,突顯了這些區域內的勘探潛力。
