SUDBURY,
ON, Feb. 8, 2023 /CNW/ - Frontier Lithium Inc.
(TSXV: FL) (FRA: HL2) (OTCQX: LITOF) ("Frontier" or "the Company")
is pleased to announce the results for the remaining seven drill
holes completed during Phase XII drill program on the Spark
pegmatite which began in May with two diamond drill rigs and
finished in October of 2022.The main objective of the program was
focused on converting inferred material to the indicated category
for the planned open pit. The Spark pegmatite is one of the
two delineated premium spodumene-bearing lithium deposits on the
PAK Lithium Project.
Highlights
- The Company completed 15,984m of
drilling in 50 holes in 2022. Highlights from the seven Phase XII
diamond drill holes reported are included below.
- DDH PL-094-22 was designed to define the western extent of the
Spark pegmatite and to target the recently discovered NW Spark
zone. This hole was the first indication that the NW zone was
connected to the main Spark pegmatite at depth, intersecting
125.9m of pegmatite averaging 1.51%
Li2O.
-
- Including 12.0m from 181.5 to
193.5m averaging 2.08%
Li2O
- Including 9.8m from 228.7 to
238.5m averaging 2.94%
Li2O
- Including 8.0m from 246.5 to
254.5m averaging 2.95%
Li2O
- Including 8.0m from 270.5 to
278.5m averaging 2.32%
Li2O
- DDH PL-098-22 hole was designed to follow up on the results
from PL-094-22 and confirmed that the NW zone is in fact connected
to the main Spark ore body at depth, intersecting 398.25m of pegmatite averaging 1.88%
Li2O.
-
- Including 18.0m from 20.5 to
38.5m averaging 2.48%
Li2O
- Including 23.4m from 244.0 to
267.4m averaging 3.12%
Li2O
- Including 16.0m from 282.0 to
298.0m averaging 2.70%
Li2O
- Including 38.0m from 390.0 to
428.0m averaging 2.65%
Li2O
- DDH PL-099-22 hole was designed to follow up on the results
from PL-098-22, intersecting 243m of
pegmatite averaging 1.58% Li2O, extending the NW zone
further to the west.
-
- Including 9.0m from 122.3 to
131.3m averaging 2.47%
Li2O
- Including 7.5m from 256.7 to
264.2m averaging 3.02%
Li2O
- Including 31.5m from 338.0 to
369.5m averaging 2.03%
Li2O
- Including 6.0m from 430.0 to
436m averaging 3.25%
Li2O
"Now that all the results have been received and processed, we
can say that our goal of upgrading Inferred has been achieved and
the Spark pegmatite continues to increase in size particularly with
the intersections in holes PL-098-22 and PL-099-22. These two
holes, which are 140m apart, have
confirmed that the new northwest zone discovered in February 2022 is connected to the main zone and
contains significant high-grade zones of 2 to 3% Li2O."
states Garth Drever, VP Exploration.
"This zone will certainly be explored during the 2023 drill program
at Spark."
The initial objective for the Phase XII drill program was
focused on converting the inferred resource within the Spark
deposit to the indicated category in preparation for a
pre-feasibility study (PFS) on the PAK Lithium Project. The
latter half of the program included geotechnical drilling for
ground control and pit design purposes as well as step out drilling
to define the eastern and western extents of the ore body.
Figure 1 is a location map showing the project area including
Frontier's land tenure and location of the three
lithium-cesium-tantalum pegmatites.
Figure 2 is a plan view showing all drilling with analytical
data completed with emphasis on drill hole traces reported in this
release.
Table 1 details the drill holes and channel with mineralized
intersections while Table 2 summarizes all Phase XII drill holes
completed.

PL-092-22

Collared in the same
location as PL-089-22, the hole was drilled in the opposite
direction to the south, designed to define the eastern end of the
main Spark pegmatite at depth before it begins to break up into
smaller pods towards the east. A total of 198m of pegmatite
was intersected.

designed to follow up on the results of PL-056-22 that initially
indicated what appeared to be a new high grade NW zone.
PL-098-22 results have confirmed what was later suggested by
PL-094-22, that the NW zone is in fact connected to the main Spark
ore body at depth. 398.25m of pegmatite at 1.88% Li2O was
intersected, including minor dilution from mafic rafts

Due Diligence
All scientific and technical information in this release has
been reviewed and approved by Garth Drever, P.Geo., the
qualified person (QP) under the definitions established by National
Instrument 43-101. Under Frontier's QA/QC procedures,
all drilling was completed by Chenier Drilling Ltd. of Val Caron, ON using thin walled BTW drill rods
(4.2 cm core diameter) and a Reflex ACT III oriented core system.
Using the Reflex system, the drill core was oriented and marked as
it was retrieved at the drill. The core was boxed and delivered to
the Frontier core shack where it was examined, geologically logged,
and marked for sampling. The core was photographed prior to
sampling. Using a rock saw, the marked sample intervals were
halved with one-half bagged for analysis. Sample blanks along with
lithium, rubidium and cesium certified reference material was
routinely inserted into the sample stream in accordance with
industry recommended practices. Field duplicate samples were also
taken in accordance with industry recommended practices. The
samples were placed in poly sample bags and transported to
Red Lake by float plane and then
shipped to AGAT Laboratories Ltd. (AGAT) in Thunder Bay for sample preparation and to
Mississauga, Ontario for
processing and quantitative multi-element analysis. AGAT is an ISO
accredited laboratory. The core is stored on site at the Pakeagama
Lake exploration camp.
Other Matters
The Company would also like to announce at this time that is has
granted 500,000 stock options under the New Stock Option Plan (the
"Options"). The Options have been issued to certain
directors, officers, or employees of the Company. The Options are
exercisable at a price of $ $2.73 per common share and will have a term
of 5 years from the date of issuance. 50% of these Options vest on
the grant date, and the remaining 50% vest on the date that is the
first anniversary date of the grant date. These Options are subject
to approval by the TSXV.
About Frontier Lithium
Frontier Lithium is a preproduction business with an objective
to become a strategic domestic supplier of spodumene concentrates
for industrial users as well as battery-grade lithium hydroxide and
other chemicals to the growing electric vehicle and energy storage
markets in North America. The
Company maintains the largest land position and resource in a
premium lithium mineral district located in Ontario's Great Lakes region.
About PAK Lithium Project
The PAK lithium project contains one of North America's highest-grade lithium
resources. The project encompasses close to 27,000 hectares and
remains largely unexplored; however, since 2013, the company has
delineated two premium spodumene-bearing lithium deposits (PAK and
Spark), located 2.3 kilometres apart. Exploration is continuing on
the project through two other spodumene-bearing discoveries: the
Bolt pegmatite (located between the PAK and Spark deposits), as
well as the Pennock pegmatite (25 kilometres northwest of PAK
deposit within the project claims). A 2021 preliminary economic
assessment (National Instrument 43-101 technical report titled "NI
43-101 Technical Report, Pak Property, PAK, Red Lake Mining
District, Ontario, Canada" by BBA
E&C Inc., with an effective date of April 5, 2021) delivered a fully integrated
lithium operation, including the mine and mill and the conversion
plant for production of battery-quality lithium salts.
