MGX Minerals Inc announced that a Notice of Work has been filed with the British Columbia Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation for drilling at its 100% owned GC lithium project in southeast British Columbia.
The Vancouver-based resource and technology company said drilling will be targeted to detect depth extension of surface mineralization and detail zonation of various rare metal-bearing minerals.
MGX noted that granitic pegmatite bodies of rare metal LCT (lithium-cesium-tantalum) variety occur on the GC mineral claims.
The company added that it has proposed an initial diamond drill program of five holes from four drill pads, utilizing NQ size core, in close proximity to GC and Grail pegmatite occurrences where surface sampling in 2022 returned assay values up to 1.04% lithium, 0.1% cesium, and 0.35% rubidium.
As well, MGX Minerals said the geology of GC occurrence compares favourably with the Tanco Mine at Bernic Lake, Manitoba, which features extensive cesium-bearing pollucite mineralization in a highly fractionated sill that is not exposed on surface.
MGX Minerals is a diversified Canadian resource and technology company with interests in advanced materials, metals and energy technologies.
