VANCOUVER, BC, July 13,
2023 /CNW/ - North Arrow Minerals
Inc. (TSXV- NAR) ("North Arrow") is pleased to
report it has initiated a field program intended to evaluate
reported spodumene pegmatites within the company's 100% owned LDG
property, Northwest
Territories.
Historical reports of large spodumene
bearing pegmatites uncovered on NAR's LDG Project. Program underway
to verify.
Field crews have been mobilized to evaluate spodumene-bearing
muscovite-tourmaline pegmatites that were initially reported by
Geological Survey of Canada
mappers in the 1940's. Follow up work by Geolex Exploration in the
mid 1950's reportedly identified a series of spodumene pegmatites
in the area, including one pegmatite occurrence described as
approximately 2,000 feet (~600m) in length and up to 100 feet
(~30m) wide. A second occurrence is described as approximately
3,000 feet long (~1,000m) and averaging 50 feet (~15m) in width.
This program represents North Arrow's first opportunity to confirm
these historic reports of spodumene pegmatites within the LDG
property.
Ken Armstrong, President and CEO
of North Arrow, commented, "This program represents an important,
low-cost initiative by North Arrow to add to our growing portfolio
of hard rock lithium projects in Canada's north. The area of interest lies
within our 100% owned LDG Project, between MacKay Lake and Lac de Gras, immediately along
the current alignment of the winter road that services the Diavik
and Ekati mines. The current program is intended to prospect, map
and sample identified pegmatites in the area of interest, making
use of existing LIDAR, geophysics and satellite imagery data. If
confirmed, the logistics of evaluating these spodumene pegmatites
will be greatly aided by their location along the Lac de Gras
winter road and by the fact the LDG Project has an exploration camp
and drilling permit in place."
