VANCOUVER,
BC, July 17, 2023 /CNW/ - North Arrow
Minerals Inc. (TSXV: NAR) ("North Arrow") is
pleased to report it has staked prospective spodumene bearing
pegmatites discovered in the MacKay Lake area of the Northwest Territories, immediately adjacent to
the winter road connecting Yellowknife with the Lac de Gras diamond
mines. The Mackay pegmatites were identified and staked by North
Arrow in an area where, in the 1940's, the Geological Survey of
Canada noted tantalite
mineralization within tourmaline-muscovite pegmatites. Photos of
the pegmatite exposures and spodumene mineralized samples can be
found here. Initial prospecting samples from the pegmatites have
been submitted for analysis and results will be reported when
received.
Spodumene bearing pegmatite found at MacKay
Lake Property, NWT, currently being assessed for size and
mineralogy.
Ken Armstrong,
President and CEO of North Arrow, stated, "The discovery of
spodumene pegmatites at MacKay Lake further advances North Arrow's
lithium exploration strategy, taking advantage of our northern
exploration experience to identify and acquire hard rock lithium
properties in the NWT and Nunavut.
These new pegmatites are located just southeast of North Arrow's
LDG property, where North Arrow is currently evaluating similar
spodumene pegmatites identified and mapped in the 1940's and
1950's. Additional mapping and sampling of the MacKay spodumene
pegmatites, intended to get an indication of their size potential,
is planned as part of the ongoing LDG program."
The LDG project has an exploration camp and
drilling permit in place, with the camp well positioned to support
further evaluation of the MacKay spodumene pegmatites, as is the
annual Lac de Gras winter road which runs along Mackay Lake
immediately adjacent to the newly staked mineral claims.
