Houston Lake Mining Expands Eastern Extension at PAK Lithium Project

Houston Lake Mining (TSXV:HLM) announced results from its Phase IV drill program testing the orientation of the eastern extension at its Pakeagama Lake pegmatite. Drill results have added to the eastern extension of the pegmatite, with one hole intersection 2.59 percent lithium oxide over 40 meters.
As quoted in the press release, highlights included:

• Vertical Diamond Drill Hole (DDH) PL-023-15 was terminated after intersecting 95.45 m of 1.98% Li₂O 155 m below surface verifying the pegmatite body is plunging to the east-south-east;
• DDH PL-024-15 intersected 40m of pegmatite averaging 2.59% Li₂O from 264m to 304m;
• DDH PL-024-15 includes a lithium zone (Upper Intermediate Zone) averaging 3.65% Li2O over 9.1 m from 265.9 to 375.0m and;
• Mineralization remains open to depth and along strike to the northwest and appears to be opening up to the east-south-east.

Houston Lake CEO, Trevor Walker, said:

We are extremely pleased with these results from the Phase IV diamond drill program as they prove the pegmatite is plunging to the ESE. The program is a positive test of our plunge theory, resulting in increased predictability for intersecting the deposit. This predictability, along with the high grade thicknesses  intersected to date, and mineralization that remains open to depth and along strike, suggests this pegmatite could be significantly more robust than is currently known.
