2O Midas sampling returns up to 1.68% Li from Greenbush Lithium Project, Canada

Highlights

  • Midas has commenced exploration on the Greenbush and Barbara Lake Lithium Projects in Ontario, Canada

  • Initial outcrop mapping and sampling has returned results up to 1.68% Li2O at Greenbush; A further 11 samples are pending analysis with results expected in Q3 CY23

  • Outcropping spodumene-bearing pegmatite previously documented at Greenbush

  • Detrital spodumene-bearing pegmatite recently located at Barbara Lake, with assay results from 7 samples due in Q3 CY23

  • Midas plans further mapping and sampling for Greenbush; in parallel to drill permitting

  • Midas will use a high-resolution LiDAR survey and previous sampling on Barbara Lake to prioritise target areas

Midas Minerals Ltd (“Midas”, or “the Company”) ( ASX: MM1 ) is pleased to provide an update of its exploration at the Greenbush and Barbara Lake lithium projects in Ontario, Canada.

Greenbush Lithium Project

The 102km[2] Greenbush Project is located ~12km east of Highway 599, about 95km north of Savant Lake and 70km south of Pickle Lake in the of Thunder Bay district, Ontario (refer ASX announcement 28 March 2023).

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 total of 11 pegmatite samples have been submitted for analysis; assays have been received for six prior samples (Table 1 and 3) collected during the initial due diligence field visit. Outcrop appears limited on the northern tenement group, so detailed geophysics may prove a useful tool in interpreting structural controls. Midas will commence drill permitting for the known spodumene bearing pegmatite area. Further mapping and sampling work is proposed to initially assess the large swarm of pegmatites located on the southern tenement group.

The Greenbush project is located 80km east of Green Technology Metals’ (ASX: GT1) Root Lithium Project, with both projects straddling the boundary between the English River and Uchi sub-provinces.

Managing Director Mark Calderwood commented:

“From the limited amount of outcrop, we have a better understanding of the most prospective corridors for pegmatites at Greenbush following our recent sampling. Results from remaining samples will build on this exploration model. Further mapping is planned south of the Greenbush Lake -Pashkokogogan fault in a similar geological setting to GT1’s Root Lithium Project and we’re also commencing drill permitting.

“The Barbara Lake project is located in a known spodumene province, and given the presence of detrital spodumene, it is considered highly encouraging for extensions to the Jackpot pegmatite swarm being explored by Imagine Lithium.”

Barbara Lake Lithium Project

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 (TSXV:RCK) Georgia Lake Project.

Midas’ limited prospecting to date has resulted in the discovery of detrital spodumene-bearing pegmatite (Figure 2), despite areas of snow cover at the time. Seven samples are pending analysis with results expected in Q3 CY2023, and further mapping will be undertaken following receipt of the results of a recently completed LiDAR survey and high-resolution photography.

Figure 2: Detrital Pegmatite with Abundant (20% - 30%) Pale Green Spodumene – Barbara Lake

In relation to the disclosure of visual occurrences of pegmatite and spodumene, the Company cautions that 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 also potentially provide no information regarding impurities or deleterious physical properties relevant to valuations. The Company expects to receive the laboratory analytical results of rock chip samples in the next quarter.

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.
