Jourdan Announces Drilling Program Has Successfully Intersected New Eastern Extension of Li Pegmatite
07 März 2022 - 1:00PM
JOURDAN RESOURCES INC. (TSXV: JOR; OTCQB: JORFF)
(“
Jourdan” or the “
Company“) is
pleased to announce that all of its first four drill holes of its
winter 2022 drilling campaign have intersected the newly identified
spodumene-bearing pegmatite swarm on its Vallée property at a
previously underexplored eastern position, which the Company
believes has not been exposed by the North American Lithium mine to
the west of Vallée (see Fig. 1).

The Company’s 2000m diamond drilling program is
intended to follow up on the results of a bulk sample collected in
2018 and the fence line drilled in 2011 and 2021 along the western
side of the Company’s Vallée property, which borders the North
American Lithium mine. This drilling campaign is roughly laid out
on a 100m x 100m grid and aims at completing the northern extension
of the drilled fence line previously started during Q3 2021. The
drill program is anticipated to substantially extend the known
deposit at the Company’s Vallée property eastwards. 10 holes of
approximately 200m depth each are scheduled to be drilled aiming at
the pegmatite swarm identified by the trenching of the bulk sample
collected on the Vallée property in 2018. The assay results from
the bulk sample revealed high Li2O grades (for more information,
please see the Company’s press release dated April 29, 2021, which
is available under the Company’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com),
which have encouraged the Company to continue exploration and
exploratory drilling along the strike and depth extents of its
Vallée property.
Jourdan is significantly enlarging its database
by adding more drill holes since the start of the exploration work
in 2011. The 2011 drilling comprised 21 drill holes (4256m), the
2021 campaign consisted of eight drill holes (1680m) and with the
planned 2000m round of drilling in 2022, Jourdan is on track to
having more than 7900m (39 drill holes) of core that the Company
intends to use in the future to establish a preliminary mineral
resource estimate.
Rene Bharti, CEO of Jourdan, stated, “With the
net proceeds received from the flow-through financing we completed
before the end of last year, we are excited at the possibilities of
our latest drill program. Jourdan’s goal for this year continues to
be to define a preliminary mineral resource estimate, with our
eventual goal being to become Quebec’s next lithium producer.”
Jourdan’s Executive Chairman, Dr. Andreas
Rompel, stated, “We now have demonstrated that we have a new
Li-bearing and spodumene-rich pegmatite in several intersections
which we did not know before. This particular pegmatite is not
exposed in the open pit of the neighbouring North American Lithium
mine. We believe this will add significantly to the known deposit
size.”
