COMET LITHIUM COMPLETES PHASE 1 GRAVITY SURVEY AT LIBERTY AND EXPANDS TO PHASE 2 AND 3
ROUYN-NORANDA, QC, Dec. 4, 2023 /CNW/ - Comet Lithium Corporation (TSXV: CLIC) (FSE: 8QY) ("Comet Lithium" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce the completion of Phase 1 of the ground geophysical gravity survey. Following completion of Phase 1, the Corporation has decided on completing Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the gravity survey at its 100%-owned Liberty Property in James Bay, Québec, Canada. The survey crew expects to complete these two additional phases of the gravity survey by mid December. Phase 1 of the gravity survey has increased the confidence to move forward with Phase 2 and 3 in 2023. Comprehensive gravity survey will assist the upcoming drill program by generating multiple exploration targets. The gravity survey will assist in optimizing pegmatite drill targets across the Liberty Property for the anticipated inaugural drill program. This ground geophysical gravity survey will complement the recently completed field and soil sample program.
The Phase 2 and 3 of the ground gravity survey will be carried out by Val-d'Or, Québec based Géophysique TMC using a Scintrex CG-6 and will cover approximately 3.5 km2 following a 20m x 100m grid pattern for approximately 2,100 stations. This expanded gravity survey is built upon the insights generated from Phase 1 and aims to delimit the extents of the Winsome Resources Adina pegmatite trend to the east inside the Liberty Property. Comet Lithium is using bespoke data generated from Phase 1 to better interpret the subsurface geology and structures of the Liberty Property, and detect potential pegmatite contacts in amphibolitized basalt.
Mr. Vincent Metcalfe, Comet Lithium Executive Chairman, commented: "Preliminary work from gravity data Phase 1 assisted the technical team in expanding the survey to Phase 2 and 3. Comet Lithium's technical team is impressed by the ground crew in safely executing the day-to-day survey and maintaining robust QA/QC of the gravity survey. Early insights are work in progress and we believe the gravity survey may provide encouraging insights into validating the Adina trend at Liberty Property. In addition, the expanded gravity survey covering approximately 2,100 stations will add a robust building block to generate multiple drill targets and assist in validating the evidence that the Liberty Property and Adina together may potentially be part of a similar corridor".
Comet Lithium technical team is working in close collaboration with Perth-based consultancy to assist in the interpretation of data from the gravity survey and drill target generation, as well as providing on-going technical guidance.
The Corporation also wishes to draw attention to Winsome Resource Limited recent update regarding "Adina strike extension to 1,340 meters"(1). This update brings the reported significant spodumene pegmatites located at approximately ~660 meters from Comet's Liberty Property.
Winsome Resource Limited reported the following in its press release dated November 27, 2023 that: "Intersections reported in this announcement confirm the continuity of lithium mineralisation in spodumene-bearing pegmatites to the east of Adina Main, with drilling completed on 100m centres up to 300 metres east of drilling previously reported"(1). Additional, high-grade mineralisation also continues to be intersected north of Adina Main, with further results from the near surface up-dip extensions of the Main and Footwall Zones.
