Pacific North West Capital Announces Results from Lithium One Project

Pacific North West Capital (TSX:PFN) has announced that its 100 percent owned subsidiary, Lithium Canada Developments, received assay results of its Phase One Exploration Review of the Lithium One Project.
As quoted in the press release:

The Lithium One Project (April 21st, 2016 News Release) is located 125 kilometres northeast of Winnipeg, Manitoba, in the Cat Lake-Winnipeg River Pegmatite Field. This Pegmatite Field is host to the world-class Tanco Pegmatite, which has been mined since 1969. Historically, the project area is known for the presence of numerous surface Pegmatites, of various dimensions and compositions.
The Company carried out a Phase One Exploration Program, whereby several of the known Lithium-bearing Pegmatite were prospected and sampled, including the Greer Lake Pegmatitic Granite. The purpose of the exploration program was to obtain modern-day assay analyses of the Pegmatites and to ground proof the historic Pegmatite locations. Numerous Pegmatites and Pegmatite swarms were not sampled, due to access difficulties and will be prospected at a later time.
The Silverleaf Pegmatite is a zoned complex Lithium-bearing Pegmatite, with a surface exposure of approximately 80 metres x 45 metres. It was the largest Pegmatite reviewed. Samples taken from the Lepidolite-Spodumene Zone yielded assays from 1.30% to 2.43% Li₂O, 0.15% to 2.08% Rb2O and 104 ppm to 447 ppm Ta₂O₅. This zone is approximately 50 metres x 20 metres in size and extends into a historic excavated open pit. The open pit originates from the late 1920s, when a bulk sample of Spodumene was mined from the southwest side of the Silverleaf Pegmatite. Large scale mining operations were not undertaken at the time, due to changes in the market conditions and commodity prices. A sample from the historically mined Spodumene rock pile returned values up to 4.33% Li₂O.
