NRG Metals (TSX-V: NGZ) (OTCQB: NRGMF) (Frankfurt: OGPN) the company is pleased to report that assays for double packer samples collected over the interval from 100 to 300 meters of the first core have been received, and average 888 mg/L lithium with a relatively low Mg to Li ratio of 3.0 to 1.0.

As quoted in the press release:

José de Castro, Chief Operating Officer of NRG Metals, commented, “we are very excited about the outstanding results from our first hole. The results continue to exceed our expectations. These high grades and favorable Mg to Li ratios have the potential to have a very positive impact on any future capital and operating costs should the economic viability and technical feasibility of the project be established.
