North American lithium producer Sayona Mining Limited
(Sayona) (ASX:SYA; OTCQB:SYAXF), announces the discovery
and expansion of new mineralised zones at the Company’s North
American Lithium (NAL) operation (SYA 75%; Piedmont Lithium 25%) in
Québec, Canada.
The newly discovered zones are poised to become a focal point
for NAL’s assessment of future mining options. Initial assessments
indicate the presence of high-grade lithium mineralisation outside
the MRE pit shell which may represent a substantial addition to
NAL’s resource portfolio and may contribute to extending NAL’s life
of mine.
The 2023 drill program has successfully highlighted the
potential of the NAL mine located in Québec’s highly prospective
Abitibi-Temiscamingue region and confirm the possible conversion of
Inferred resources to Measured and Indicated categories within the
MRE pit shell. The program aimed to increase and secure the
resource base of the operation while targeting a high reserve
conversion rate. A selection of assays results are displayed in
Table 1 and Figure 1.
Sayona’s Interim CEO, James Brown commented, “We are very
excited by these new discoveries at North American Lithium which
highlights the potential of this asset with high-grade
mineralisation defined to the north-west, north-east, south-east
and below the existing MRE. The team at NAL will now be working to
update the Mineral Resource incorporating these significant
results. We look forward to continue testing the mineralisation at
NAL with further drilling underway."
