 Drilling results from Hawkstone Mining’s Big Sandy lithium project (Thor 1.3%)

Thor Mining {ASX / AIM: THR} has announced that its 1.3% owned part of Hawkstone Mining’s  Big Sandy lithium-clay project in Arizona., has released results from the first 19 holes of its planned 37-holes Phase 2 diamond-drilling programme.

 

Among the results reported by Hawkstone Mining:

A 22m long intersection averaging 0.225 Li from a depth of 14m in hole DHQ21 which included additional intersections of 2m averaging 0.19% from 37m depth and 20m averaging 0.23% from 40m, and 5m averaging 0.21% from 63m depth.

.

Hawkstone Mining MD Paul Lloyd points out that “These new results have extended the known lithium mineralisation up to 600 metres north, with drilling continuing to encounter wide areas of thick, shallow lithium mineralisation across simple, consistent geology that compares extremely favourably to other lithium clay projects in the USA. … In the coming weeks we look forward to announcing assays from drill-holes another 200 metres further north.”

.

Mick Billing, Thor’s Executive Chairman comented that “the likely release of further drill results in the near future and that the programme continues to improve the value of our investment in Hawkstone.”.

.

Hawkstone’s drill programme is extending the Big Sandy lithium clay mineralisation towards the north. Additional drilling results are expected in the coming weeks which may extend the footprint further northwards and would boost the value of Thor Mining’s 1.3% interest in the company if that is the case.
