Greenbush and Barbara Lake Lithium Projects, Ontario, Canada

Spodumene pegmatites return up to 3.82% Li2O

Highlights

  • Results received from 18 rock chip samples collected on MM1’s Greenbush and Barbara Lake Lithium Projects in Ontario, Canada

  • Results up to 3.82% Li2O at Greenbush project from in situ spodumene pegmatite

  • Fractionated in situ pegmatite samples 1.7km SSW of main Greenbush outcrop highlight a prospective LCT corridor, demonstrating regional upside potential

  • Spodumene identified at Barbara Lake project for the first time with results up to 2.26% Li2O from detrital pegmatite, with all pegmatite samples favourably fractionated

  • Midas is planning further mapping and sampling campaigns at Greenbush and Barbara Lake in parallel to seeking drilling permits

  • Results pending for 330 assays from sampling at Yellowknife Lithium Project, Northwest Territories, Canada, with initial results expected later this month

Managing Director Mark Calderwood commented:

“From the limited outcrop and now the results of our reconnaissance sampling, we believe we have identified a prospective corridor for LCT pegmatites at Greenbush extending for at least 1.7km. Further mapping is planned south of the Greenbush Lake fault in an area with a similar geological setting to GT1’s Root Lithium Project. This is happening in parallel to Midas seeking drill permits.

“The Barbara Lake Project is located in a known spodumene province and given we have now confirmed the presence of spodumene and identified widespread favourable fractionation within detrital pegmatite samples, it is considered highly encouraging for the project to be an extension to the Jackpot pegmatite swarm north of Barbara Lake, which is being explored by Imagine Lithium.”

Midas Minerals Ltd (“Midas”, or “the Company”) ( ASX: MM1 ) is pleased to announce the latest assay results from initial mapping and sampling at the Greenbush and Barbara Lake Lithium Projects in Ontario, Canada.

Greenbush Lithium Project

Assay results from the 11 pegmatite surface samples collected during a reconnaissance field visit to the Greenbush Lithium Project in May (refer to ASX release dated 14 June 2023) have returned high lithium values from the known 15m wide spodumene pegmatite at the main outcrop ( 3.82% Li2O ) and from a detrital pegmatite sample collected 150m to the east ( 2.21% Li2O ).

Further samples (GRK010 and GRK011) from sparse pegmatite outcrop located 1.7km SSW of the main pegmatite outcrop also returned anomalous tantalum (Ta), tin (Sn), caesium (Cs), beryllium (Be) and rubidium (Rb). The potassium to rubidium ratios appear to be favourable (refer to Table 1 in Appendix A), making the area highly prospective for hosting lithium-bearing pegmatites.

Midas’ recent exploration at Greenbush focused on obtaining an understanding of the geology of the documented large spodumene-bearing pegmatite outcrop, and locating and sampling additional pegmatite outcrops. A more comprehensive mapping and sampling campaign is proposed to assess a large swarm of pegmatites located on the southern portion of the tenement group, in parallel with Midas commencing drill permitting for the known spodumene-bearing pegmatite area.

The 102km[2] Greenbush Lithium Project is located ~12km east of Highway 599, about 95km north of Savant Lake and 70km south of Pickle Lake in the Thunder Bay district, Ontario (refer ASX release dated 28 March 2023). Green Technology Metals’ (ASX: GT1) Root Lithium Project is 80km to the east of Greenbush, which straddles the boundary between the English River and Uchi sub-provinces.

Barbara Lake Lithium Project

At the Barbara Lake Lithium Project, Midas has received results from its initial on-ground reconnaissance mapping and sampling, with two spodumene-bearing detrital pegmatites identified and sampled ( 2.26% and 1.49% Li2O ). This is the first time spodumene has been identified on the Barbara Lake project, which has not previously been the focus of lithium exploration. Four of the remaining samples are anomalous in Ta, Sn, Be and have favourable K:Rb ratios (refer to Table 2 in Appendix A), important evidence that the pegmatites have been favourably fractionated in the area.

Midas intends to undertake further mapping following receipt of a planned LiDAR survey and high-resolution photography.

The 2.1km[2] Barbara Lake Project is located 35km northeast of Nipigon, about 130km northeast of Thunder Bay, Ontario. It forms part of the tenement package optioned with the Greenbush Project. The project area falls within an active lithium province, surrounded by Imagine Lithium Corps’ (TSX-V:ILI) Jackpot Project and is about 15km south of Rock Tech Lithium Inc’s (TSX-V:RCK) Georgia Lake Project.

Midas Minerals Western Australia Projects Location Map Midas Minerals Canadian Projects Location Map

Newington Lithium-Gold Project: 316km[2] of tenements located at the north end of the Southern Cross and Westonia greenstone belts, prospective for lithium and gold. Exploration in 2022 has outlined anomalous lithium and LCT indicator elements over at least 20km strike. Initial drilling intercepted pegmatites that are laterally extensive, wide and gently dipping. The project also has a number of gold targets and includes significant prior drill intercepts that justify follow-up exploration.

Weebo Gold Project: Tier 1 location within the Yandal greenstone belt with 323km[2] of tenements between the Thunderbox and Bronzewing gold mines, prospective for gold and nickel. Drilling in 2022 intercepted significant gold mineralisation on several prospects. A number of additional gold and nickel geochemical and geophysical anomalies have been defined, the Company plans to drill test these in 2023.

Challa Gold, Nickel-Copper-PGE Project: 907km[2] of tenement and applications with limited but successful exploration to date. A number of significant PGE and gold-copper exploration targets have been defined.

Yellowknife Lithium Project: The Company can earn up to 80% of 718km[2] of mineral claims and applications located outside Yellowknife City, Northwest Territories. Large numbers of pegmatites associated with multiple fertile granite intrusions of Slave Craton. Several known lithium and tantalum occurrences on the project and a number of significant lithium deposits located nearby. Exploration has commenced to map and sample pegmatite swarms.

Greenbush Lithium Project: 102km[2] of mining claims located in the Thunder Bay area, Ontario, proximal to infrastructure, with little outcrop and no historic drilling. A 15m by 30m spodumene bearing pegmatite outcrop was discovered in 1955 on the northeast shore of a lake and initial sampling by Midas has returned results up to 3.82% Li2O from the main outcrop and surrounds, as well as anomalous tantalum occurrences demonstrating regional upside potential. Further mapping and sampling are planned in parallel with seeking drilling permits. Midas also holds the 2.1km[2] Barbara Lake Project about 130km northeast of Thunder Bay.

Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of Greenbush Project
mineralisation. The bedrock in the area is reported (Goodwin,
1965) to be of Precambrian age. It is comprised of
an older assemblage of metasediments and
metavolcanics and associated mafic intrusions;
younger felsic intrusions; and diabase dikes. The
metavolcanics consist predominantly of felsic to
mafic tuffs, flows and breccias and metamorphic
equivalents. There are occasional dikes and sills
as well as larger, irregular masses of metadiorite
and metagabbro. The metavolcanics of the older
assemblage generally overlie but are also
interzoned with the older metasediments.
Generally, the metasediments consist of quartz-
mica schist, arkose, greywacke, staurolite-garnet
andalusite schist, pebble conglomerate and
banded iron formation. Together they are
conformably overlain by a substantial thickness of
assorted felsic to mafic volcanic rocks in which
several thinner zones of metasediments are
associated. The intrusive rocks primarily include a
massive to porphyritic granitic batholith extending
to the northwest, as well as smaller granitic
stocks, dikes and sills. Pegmatites of a wide
variety of shapes and sizes occur locally and in
great profusion near the south marginal contact of
the granite batholith. Other instances of pegmatite
dykes were formed by injection along fractures.
The Precambrian assemblage is unconformably
overlain by unconsolidated till, gravel, sand and
clay, primarily of Pleistocene age.
