Millennial Potash Corp. (TSXV: MLP | OTCQB: MLPNF | FSE: X0D) has received analytical results for its resampling programme of hole BA-002 at its Banio Potash project.
Results have confirmed that BA002 intersected evaporite Cycles V, VI, VII, and VIII cutting 13 carnallitite seams including up to 28.81m of carnallite.
Interpretation of the data confirms previous values reported by the previous owners of the property, Infinity Lithium Corp. and Plymouth Minerals Corp., indicating the historic data is suitable for future use evaluating the potash potential of the project.
Farhad Abasov, Millennial’s chair, commented “Millennial is pleased to have received the analytical results from the sampling of the pulps from historic drill hole BA-002. The results confirm the presence of abundant carnallitite seams at the north end of the property with widths of up to 28.8m and grades up to 16.7 % KCl.”
Millennial, with potash engineering consultants, selected 207 key, stored pulp samples with high K-grades from the Infinity Lithium’s potash drillhole BA-002, completed in 2017.
Samples were analyzed by potash specialist K-UTEC Salt Technologies of Germany, using multi-element ICP for Na, K, Mg, Ca, and S titration methods for Chloride, as well as gravimetric determination of the insoluble content for each sample.
The results were incorporated into the project drillhole database replacing the values found by Infinity, while low-grade Infinity samples remained to create a database of combined, vetted, Infinity results and updated results from the Millennial sampling programme.
The cycles comprised primarily carnallitite seams and halite lenses as well as some sylvinite in Cycle VIII higher in the sequence. These sylvinite seams reach 3.75m in thickness and grade up to 25.2% KCl.
Cycle VII contained one sylvinite/carnallitite seam at the top followed by 10 carnallite seams that vary in width from 1.25m to 7.50m and have a cumulative thickness of 28.35m.
The company has reported that the grades of the carnallitite seams ranged from 12.0% KCl to 15.1% KCl, with an average of 14.7% KCl over the 28.35m combined sequence.
“The top of the sequence is marked by several sylvinite layers up to 3.75m thick and up to 26.25% KCl representing an additional target that may be amenable to solution mining. Both the carnallitite and sylvinite targets will be tested in the upcoming drill programme scheduled to start in Q3,” said Mr. Abasov.
