Tearlach Discovers Pegmatites on Georgina Properties
20 Julio 2023 - 7:30AM
Tearlach Resources Limited (TSXV: TEA) (OTC: TELHF)
(FRANKFURT: V44) (“Tearlach” or the “Company”) is pleased
to provide an update on progress with its summer exploration
program on the Georgina Properties, Jellicoe, northwestern Ontario.
The Properties, consisting of the Georgina Stairs, Georgina East
and newly staked claims, cover approximately 239 square kilometres
(Figure 1) and are being explored for pegmatite-hosted lithium
mineralization similar to that hosted on Rock Tech’s Georgia Lake
Property to the west. Fieldwork consisting of geological mapping
and outcrop sampling commenced in mid-May, and to date,
approximately 20% of the Properties have been covered.
Highlights:
A key milestone is the discovery of eleven
pegmatite outcrops, including both sodium and potassium-rich
varieties. These are the first documented pegmatites on the
property, and the presence of both sodic and potassic types
indicates that fractionation of the pegmatite melt has occurred,
which could generate lithium-rich end member components. Tearlach’s
ongoing geochemical sampling program will focus on establishing
geochemical and mineralogical vectors towards possible
lithium-enriched areas of the system.
Based on the pegmatite discoveries, in June,
Tearlach staked an additional 46 claims contiguous with the
southern part of Georgina East Property on open ground (Figure 1).
The Georgina Properties now consist of 1131 cell claims and is 26
km by 12 km in size.
Exploration
Targets:
The spodumene-bearing pegmatites elsewhere in
the region are sodic-rich, with aplite in the outermost zones and
green muscovite in the innermost zones associated with spodumene.
The identification of both aplite and green muscovite during the
recent work on the Properties indicates that it has the potential
to host spodumene pegmatites. Tearlach’s exploration team will be
focusing on these areas in the upcoming month.
Dr. Selway stated that, “I am happy with the
progress that Tearlach’s mapping team has made at the Georgina
Properties. We have progressed from an unexplored property to
discovering granites to discovering pegmatites within 2 months.
Tearlach’s Georgina Properties has the potential to host lithium
mineralization like Rock Tech Lithium’s Georgia Lake Property 9 km
to the west.”
