Volta Metals CEO Kerem Usenmez joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the release of assay results from 11 drill holes completed during the inaugural drill program at the Falcon West Lithium Property, situated in northwestern Ontario, Canada. The assay results revealed the presence of near-surface spodumene-albite pegmatite-hosted lithium, cesium, and tantalum mineralization, with potential for expansion.
Usenmez explains that the initial drilling was strategically designed to test the five spodumene-bearing pegmatites identified during Volta's 2023 exploration program, which covered a small section of the vast 13km² property. Remarkably, all 11 boreholes successfully intercepted mineralization in five known pegmatites, with hole FW23-07 encountering blind pegmatite from 47.4m to 59.1m, before concluding at 60.1m depth.
The success of the drilling campaign underscores the significant potential of the Falcon West Lithium Project. The data obtained will empower Volta's exploration team to enhance their understanding of the structural orientations of the pegmatites and refine drill-hole design for the upcoming 2024 exploration program. Furthermore, the high-grade lithium results, coupled with strongly anomalous cesium and tantalum, indicate the presence of a substantial LCT mineralized system within the Falcon West Project.
Currently, the company is in the final stages of finalizing its 2024 exploration program, which will encompass diamond drilling, mechanized trenching, and additional geochemical sampling. This comprehensive approach underscores Volta Metals' commitment to advancing exploration efforts and unlocking the full potential of the Falcon West Lithium Project.
