Ultra Lithium’s Second Round of Sampliing Further Confirms High Grade Lithium Brines at Salar Laguna Verde in Catamarca Arg...
22 Diciembre 2017 - 9:23AM
Ultra Lithium Inc. (TSX-V:ULI) (“ULI” or “the Company”) has
received preliminary assay results of the first four samples from
the second round of sampling completed in December 2017 on the
Salar Laguna Verde Discovery Zone in Catamarca Province, Argentina.
Assay results indicate lithium values in the range of 263
to 1,178 milligrams per liter (mg/L) or parts per million (ppm),
magnesium values less than 20 ppm to 9,150 ppm and potassium values
are 6,706 ppm to 21,741 ppm. The Laguna Verde area is marked by low
magnesium to lithium ratios, in the range of 0.019 to
7.77.
A total of 36 samples were collected from
surface and shallow sub-surface brines down to a depth of one meter
or less. Hand tools, such as hammers, and shovels were used to
break the surface salt / sediment layers to access the brines.
Brine samples were collected in clean plastic bottles which
were rinsed with brine before sampling. Field parameters of each
sample were recorded which include: depth of water table from
surface, total dissolved solids, temperature, conductivity,
salinity, pH, and density. All samples were shipped to SGS
Laboratories in Buenos Aires, while four duplicate samples were
sent to Alex Stewart Laboratories in Jujuy, Argentina. The samples
were assayed by method LMMT03 (ICP-OES). The results of these
four duplicate samples are reported with highlights presented below
(also see Table 1).
Highlights:
- Sample 17CA079 – indicated 1,178 ppm lithium (Li),
16,994 ppm potassium (K), 1,900 ppm boron (B), and 9,150 ppm
magnesium (Mg); with Mg/Li ratio of 7.77.
- Sample 17CA081 – indicated 263 ppm lithium, 6,706 ppm
potassium, 602 ppm boron, and 34 ppm magnesium (Mg); with Mg/Li
ratio of 0.13.
- Sample 17CA082 – indicated 685 ppm lithium, 10,084 ppm
potassium, 777 ppm boron, and 3,861 ppm magnesium; with Mg/Li ratio
of 5.64.
- Sample 17CA083 – indicated 1,048 ppm lithium, 21,741
ppm potassium, 2,734 ppm boron, and less than 20 ppm magnesium
(Mg). Mg/Li ratio cannot be calculated because magnesium values are
below the laboratory method detection limit of 20
mg/L.
The Company is waiting for the assay results
from SGS Laboratories in Buenos Aires, Argentina which are expected
in January.
