and the initial definition of mineralization along strike and at depth at the two known
mineralized occurrences – the Lucy and the ArtDon targets. The two target areas are
approximately one kilometer apart. Historical drilling at Falcon West has shown
evidence of a highly evolved pegmatite system with occurrences of high-grade lithium,
cesium and tantalum.
The Company will report on the drill results from the program s as they become
