TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / January 16, 2023 / High Tide Resources Corp. (“High tide” or “Company“) (CSE:HTRC) announces today that it has completed the Phase 1 geo-exploration program for the 14,400 hectare Clearcut Lithium Project (the “Property”) located in the nascent Cadillac-Pontiac lithium field southwest of Val d’Or, Quebec (Figure 1). Companies already operating at the camp include Winsome Resources, Sayona Mining, Vision Lithium, Brunswick Exploration and Renforth Resources.
Steve Roebuck, High Tide States Director, President and Interim CEO“The survey team carried out an excellent first-time ground survey program in a large area under challenging weather conditions in late 2022. Combined with LiDAR reprocessing and digital mapping, we now have a much better understanding of the geology on parts of the property and will use this, along with analytical geochemistry and new airborne geophysics, to refine our survey model as we prepare for 2023 for the spring research program of .
The exploration program was conducted by ALS GoldSpot Discoveries Ltd. (formerly GoldSpot Discoveries Corp.) technical team to identify lithium-cesium-tantalum-bearing pegmatite bodies (LCT-Pegmatite) using systematic rock geochemical sampling of all pegmatite bodies and felsic intrusions. A total of 294 stations were described for geology and 142 rock samples were collected (Figure 2) and sent to ALS Labs – an accredited laboratory – for analysis using the ME-ICP81 and ME-MS81 packages. Quality assurance and quality control procedures have been implemented to ensure best practice in rock sampling and analysis: standards and blanks were regularly introduced into the sample stream. The results of the analysis are still pending.
The property consists of 249 claims accessible through a network of logging roads, which increases efficiency and reduces survey costs. The 2022 Geology Program highlighted felsic to intermediate intrusions, including granite, granodiorite, tonalite and diorite, which locally contain discontinuous biotite-muscovite-bearing pegmatite dikes. The field program, along with a new airborne magnetic and radiometric survey in 2022, will provide unprecedented insight into the geological framework of the property for further exploration. Field data and analysis interpretations are performed by the same team of ALS GoldSpot experts to create a prospect analysis of LCT-Pegmatites using a hybrid approach of machine learning techniques and geoscience expertise.
