Houston Lake Mining Intersects 1.16% Lithium Oxide Over 202 Meters

Houston Lake Mining (TSXV:HLM) reported results from two drill holes at its Phse 2, nine-hole diamond drill program at the Pakeagama Lake pegmatite.

As quoted in the press release:

The primary objective of these two holes was to test the deposit beneath previously drilled holes. The intersection summaries for the two drill holes outlined in Table I below have confirmed continuity of the zones from the surface outcrop to depth. DDH PL-013-14 was drilled under hole PL-001-13 (Phase I drill program) and tested the pegmatite at an average depth of 60 metres below it. DDH PL-013-14 further defined the bounding contacts with host rock(s). Table I also summarizes the lithium, cesium, tantalum and rubidium grades for the two drill holes by mineralogical zones for the pegmatite intersections.

Houston Lake president, Trevor R. Walker, said:

These drill holes were planned with a particular focus on depth and confirm grade and geometry of our maiden resource estimate and also should result in an increase of the deposit’s tonnage. These results positively display that the pegmatite’s grade x thickness is persisting with depth. We are extremely pleased with these results from drilling at depth and are enticed to test the pegmatite at depth with our future plans. We look forward to the release of pending assay results from the final drill holes of our Phase II Diamond Drill program that were designed to possibly extend the strike length of the known deposit.
