Sayona Mining Drills Further High-Grade Moblan Intersections
THE DRILL SERGEANT: Sayona Mining (ASX: SYA) released results of its 2023 drilling campaign at the company’s Moblan lithium project in the James Bay region of Quebec, Canada.
Sayona Mining explained the drilling program was designed to test extensions to mineralisation and provide in-fill data for the upgrade of Mineral Resource categories.
The company reported that a total of 34 drillholes had revealed the potential of a single, large continuous orebody with the 2023 drill program demonstrating the potential to increase the mineral resource base at Moblan.
Individual dykes have been documented and modelled comprising the Main Zone, South Zone, Inter Zone and Moleon domain.
Drilling results include:
New South Pegmatites (East):
1331-23-515
41.8 metres at 1.44 per cent lithium oxide (Li2O) from 206.2m; and
1331-23-516
40m at 1.37 per cent Li2O from 253m.
New South Pegmatites (West):
1331-23-678
39.55m at 1.63 per cent Li2O from 38m.
Moleon Pegmatites:
1331-23-689
44.95m at 1.56 per cent Li2O from 81.05m; and
1331-23-689
46.75m at 1.49 per cent Li2O from 197.35m.
“Moblan continues to present outstanding high-grade drilling results over wide intersections,” Sayona Mining interim CEO James Brown said in the company’s ASX announcement.
“Today’s announcement emphasises the continuation of known mineralisation and areas of in-fill between zones, suggesting considerable potential for uncovering additional extensions to this premium lithium deposit.
“Recent results from both Moblan and NAL reinforce the quality and potential of both the Abitibi-Temiscamingue and Eeyou Istchee James Bay hubs which provides Sayona an abundance of options and potential flexibility for development of an integrated lithium business in Quebec.”
