Burley Minerals Hits Thick Pegmatite Swarms at Chubb North Prospect

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Burley Minerals (ASX: BUR) announced an encounter with a large stacked LCT pegmatite system at the company’s Chubb North prospect in Québec, Canada.

Burley Minerals completed drilling its first four diamond holes into the Chubb North prospect the resulted in identification of two large LCT pegmatite targets.

The company also received diamond core assay results from the Chubb Central prospect that have extended the known strike length of spodumene mineralisation, while confirming continuity and consistency of the mineralised zone.

This mineralised zone remains open to the north and south, and at depth.

The company has interpreted these pegmatite intersections to indicate parallel repetitions, both west and east of the main dyke, supporting further exploration drilling.

“Excitement is building following examination of the initial four diamond holes drilled into the newly identified LCT pegmatite target at Chubb North,” Burley Minerals managing director and CEO Stewart McCallion said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“All four holes encountered pegmatite zones greater than 30m wide with combined widths of up to 182m, and with the largest pegmatite outcrop exceeding 500m of strike length.

“Importantly the pXRF and LIBS geochemical results suggest very positive indications of lithium fertility in this recently recognised, large, untested system and we are looking forward to getting more holes in the ground as soon as possible.”
