/CNW/ - Vision Lithium Inc. (TSXV: VLI) (OTC: ABEPF) (the
"
Company
" or "VLI") is pleased to announce the exploration of a significant Lithium mineralized dyke
located more than 5 km from the main No. 5 dyke which was the target of the winter drill program.
This zone appears to be several hundred metres in length and appears to host widespread
spodumene crystals. Two grab samples from this area were assayed and returned results of 2.37%
Li
2
O and 2.72% Li
2
O. A follow up channel sampling program on the exposed areas is underway on
this exciting target. A stripping program in order to better delineate the mineralized intrusive is in the
permit stage and limited drilling is in planning for later this summer.
Yves Rougerie
, President and CEO of Vision Lithium commented. "Our ground crew is very excited
by the size of this LCT pegmatite and the visible lithium mineralization contained within. Their initial
assessment indicates that the target merits a channel sampling program which is currently
underway. Over the summer we will continue to explore other areas on the Sirmac property as we
are aware of a number of other pegmatite dykes which need to be examined to determine if they
have visible mineralization that would warrant follow up exploration work."
The Company also announced that it has signed an agreement with SGS Lakefield to commence
metallurgical testing on the core from the winter drill program as well as samples taken from
outcrops on the Sirmac Property. The goal of the testing is to confirm that this material can make an
acceptable spodumene concentrate.
Rougerie continued, "We are targeting a concentrate of 6% Li
2
O or higher. Once we see the results
of the metallurgy we will also confirm that the concentrate can make a battery grade lithium
hydroxide and lithium carbonate. SGS-
Lakefield
is a renowned lab and has worked with many lithium
companies, including Nemaska Lithium, to verify their ore is amenable to making quality concentrate.
We are currently preparing the samples for shipping to the lab. It's been a busy summer thus far for
Vision Lithium and we will have much to report in the coming months."
