New Age Metals (TSXV:NAM) has provided an update to its lithium pegmatite projects in Manitoba, which are held under its 100 percent owned subsidiary, Lithium Canada Development.
As quoted in the press release:

The five Lithium Pegmatite projects, which the company holds, are situated in the Winnipeg River-Cat Lake Pegmatite Field of SE Manitoba. This pegmatite field (Figure 1) is host to the world-class Tanco Pegmatite, which is a highly-fractionated, Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum (LCT)-type pegmatite that has been mined at the Tanco Mine, in various capacities, since 1969 for Lithium-bearing minerals (Spodumene), Tantalum, Beryllium, Rubidium and Cesium. The Tanco Mine is presently owned by the Cabot Corporation. There are no current NI 43-101 compliant resources, but academic reports suggest that the Tanco Pegmatite, prior to the start of mining, was approximately 1520 metres long, 1060 metres wide and up to ~100 metres thick, with a volume of ~21,850,000 m3 and a mass of about 57,430,000 tonnes.
Field work carried out by NAM in 2016 was focused on ground proofing many of the historically reported pegmatites in the project region. Four out of five projects were examined. The best results from surface sampling came from the Lithium One (news release December 8th, 2016) and Lithium Two Projects (news release November 17th, 2016). Each project is drill ready.
