Bastion Minerals Ltd is pleased to provide a due diligence update subsequent to the recent optioning of the Pakwan East Lithium property in Canada. The property is located adjacent to properties hosting the high-grade PAK and Spark Lithium projects held by Frontier Lithium Inc (TSXV.FL).

Highlights

  • Review of government geological data has identified a series of mapped pegmatite clusters in the property, including two clusters measuring more than 1km[2] ( Refer Figure 1 ).

  • Over 45 (forty five) pegmatite clusters were mapped within the project area, 27 (twenty seven) (10h) of which have been identified as a high priority. Bastion will continue to review each target as part of its due diligence and is encouraged by these early results ( Refer Figure 1 ).

  • These pegmatites suggest the granitoid complex is highly evolved and there is potential for pegmatites in the area to contain lithium. Similar pegmatites are mapped in other areas of the North Spirit Lake geological map sheet, outside of the Pakwan East properties. However, the Pakwan East properties cover one of the major area of clusters.

  • Host rocks are mapped as foliated porphyritic biotite trondhjemite, biotite-hornblende trondhjemite and granodiorite and biotite trondhjemite. Clusters are composed of quartz feldspar pegmatites and muscovite garnet pegmatites in government mapping.

  • Presence of these pegmatites suggests the sequence is fertile and lithium pegmatites may be present, based on the results of Frontier Lithium and the pegmatite model developed by Selway and Breaks (2006, A review of Rare-Element [Li-Cs-Ta] Pegmatite Exploration Techniques for the Superior Province, Canada, and Large Worldwide Tantalum Deposits).

  • Detailed mapping and sampling of these pegmatites is a priority for Bastion.

Bastion Minerals Ltd ( ASX: BMO ) ( Bastion or the Company ) is pleased to provide a due diligence update on its Binding Heads of Agreement ( HOA ) with Austek Resources Pty Ltd ( Austek ) for an option to acquire three highly prospective groups of lithium properties located in Ontario, Canada, a rapidly growing lithium province ( Refer ASX announcement 20 February 2023 ).

Executive Chairman, Mr Ross Landles, commented:

“The Pakwan East project is located in a belt of high lithium prospectivity, as indicated by the widespread presence of multiple outcropping pegmatite clusters presented in government mapping, as well as nearby prospects in the belt where Frontier Lithium has defined lithium mineral resources.

“At the first available opportunity, the Company plans to be on the ground mapping and sampling the pegmatites in the optioned properties as shown on the government map, and evaluating the Bear Head Fault Zone, which passes through the property. We will keep shareholders updated on our progress.”

Pakwan East Lithium Project

The Pakwan East project comprises 17km[2] and is located east and immediately adjacent to properties owned by Frontier Lithium Inc (TSXV:FL) ( Frontier ). The project sits ~20 km from Frontier’s Spark Deposit, where Frontier recently announced drilling results[1] ( Refer Appendix 2 ).

Frontier Lithium has defined Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources[2] of 41.8 Mt @1.54% Li2O in these two deposits. See Appendix 2 for further details of these third party exploration results.

The Frontier Lithium pegmatites are hosted in metasediments and metavolcanics within the Bear Head Fault Zone ( BHFZ or Bear Head ) along an important boundary between geological sub provinces. This is a major fault system with multiple outcropping pegmatite discoveries, and is a prime location for lithium pegmatites. Frontier Lithium is actively conducting regional exploration activities along the fault zone[3] . The BHFZ is mapped on the North Spirit Lake geological map as the North Spirit Lake Fault, however this is the same as what Frontier Lithium refer to as the BHFZ.

The Bear Head fault passes adjacent to extensive pegmatites mapped on the Ontario Government North Spirit Lake geological map, within the Pakwan East property ( Refer Figure 1 ).

In the area north of the fault, there are extensive areas mapped as foliated porphyritic biotite trondhjemite, biotite-hornblende trondhjemite and granodiorite and biotite trondhjemite. There are common occurrences of quartz feldspar pegmatite and muscovite garnet pegmatites in government mapping in the properties.

Presence of these pegmatites suggest the sequence is fertile and lithium pegmatites may be present, based on the results of Frontier Lithium and the pegmatite model developed by Selway and Breaks (2006, A review of Rare-Element [Li-Cs-Ta] Pegmatite Exploration Techniques for the Superior Province, Canada, and Large Worldwide Tantalum Deposits).

Similar pegmatites are mapped in other areas of the North Spirit Lake geological map sheet, outside of the Pakwan East properties. However, the Pakwan East properties cover one of the major clusters in the area. These pegmatites suggest the granitoid complex is highly evolved and there is potential that pegmatites in the area contain lithium.

The project area meets multiple criteria from the Selway and Breaks 2006 study for the presence of lithium pegmatites, including:

  • A location along a geological sub provincial boundary;

  • Presence of metasediments and metavolcanics (greenstone belts);

  • Greenschist facies metamorphism, and

  • Evolved granites.

Mapping and sampling of the pegmatites is planned to occur as soon as ground conditions allow access to the properties, expected to be in May. Detailed evaluation of the fault zone will be conducted to determine whether lithium-bearing pegmatites are present.
