White Bear Prospect – Maiden Diamond Drilling Program Update

ASX Release

Highlights

ASX: FIN

  • Six diamond drill holes have been completed for 794 metres at White Bear Prospect (Quebec, Canada)

  • Four of the six completed diamond drill holes intersected megacrystic spodumenebearing pegmatite

  • The White Bear pegmatite is a shallow northwest dipping tabular body up to 20 meters in downhole width, and defined so far over a strike length of 275 metres

  • The White Bear pegmatite remains open along strike to the northeast and southwest and downdip to the northwest

  • Spodumene occurs within an albite-quartz pegmatite zone that has so far been confirmed over a strike length of 275 meters, based on diamond drilling and field mapping. The White Bear pegmatite remains open along strike to the northeast and southwest and down-dip to the northwest.

Phase I of the maiden diamond drilling program is progressing on schedule and nearing completion.

Fin Resources Limited (ASX: FIN) (“FIN” or the “Company”) is pleased to advise that the Company's maiden diamond drill program at the White Bear Lithium Discovery is progressing on schedule and Phase I is nearing completion (Figure 1).

Each of the six diamond drill holes completed to date has intersected the White Bear spodumene-bearing pegmatite, initially identified in outcrop. There appears to be at least two phases of pegmatite emplacement, with one phase comprising large spodumene crystals. The geological personnel on site are using laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) to confirm the presence of lithium and other relevant elements.

Spodumene occurs within an albite-quartz pegmatite zone that has so far been confirmed over a strike length of 275 meters, based on diamond drilling and field mapping. The White Bear pegmatite remains open along strike to the northeast and southwest and down-dip to the northwest (Figure 2).

Drill hole intercepts of the spodumene-bearing pegmatite zone have been identified up to 7 meters in downhole thickness, and confirmed using LIBS. True thickness is yet to be determined. Various colours of spodumene have been identified including pale green and magenta (Figure 3).

Additional associated minerals of interest intersected by drill core within the White Bear pegmatite include perthite, muscovite, garnet and tourmaline.

Following completion of logging and cutting, core samples will be submitted to Actlabs in Val d’Or, Quebec for sample preparation and lithium assay by sodium borate fusion.

The major structure which appears to bound the White Bear pegmatite in the east, trends in a northeast-southwest orientation and also lies to the east of a large pegmatite outcrop to the southwest (magenta dashed line in Figure 4).

The extent of pegmatite occurrences identified so far are restricted only by the work conducted to date. Further exploration work, once the diamond drilling program has been completed, is required to determine the potential for the pegmatites, identified so far, to extend along strike and at depth, as well as for additional pegmatites to the west.

Regionally, the Project area holds good potential for the discovery of additional lithium bearing pegmatites.

The Company looks forward to updating shareholders regarding the completion of Phase I of drilling at the Cancet West Project’s White Bear Prospect, and results of the sampling in due course.

Cautionary Statement on Visual Estimates Of Mineralisation

Laboratory assays are required for representative estimates of total Li or LiO2 content and other metal contents. Visual estimates of mineral abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analyses where concentrations or grades are the factor of principal economic interest. Visual estimates provide no information regarding impurities or deleterious physical properties relevant to valuations. The interpreted presence of pegmatite, pegmatite granite or visual spodumene does not equate to lithium mineralisation. The Company is encouraged by the geology identified by field programmes and initial drilling, but no quantitative or qualitative assessment of mineralisation is possible at this stage.

Competent Persons Statement

The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results is based on information compiled by FIN and reviewed by Mr. Gary Powell who is a member of the Australian Institute Geoscientists. Mr. Powell is an= geological consultant to FIN and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’. Mr. Powell consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.
