United Lithium Corporation (CSE: ULTH | OTC: ULTHF | FWB: 0UL) has announced the completion of its 9 core drill holes into a recently discovered spodumene bearing pegmatite at the Bergy Lithium project near Gävle, central Sweden. The new spodumene bearing pegmatite was discovered in December 2021, and assay results became available as of January 20, 2022. The company are continuing to drill at the new discovery.
According to United Lithium, the discovery hole BBY21069 intersected 47.75m of 1.34% Li2O from 2.25m beneath shallow soil cover. Based on nearby holes, United Lithium believe the discovery drillhole BBY21069 has intersected the host pegmatite at a low angle to dip and true thickness is approximately 10m.
According to the report, the pegmatite has been traced in drillholes for more than 200m, with a likely fault offset between the holes BBY21071/BBY21073 and BBY22074. Hole BBY22078, is currently being tested for the extension of the spodumene bearing pegmatite 50m to the southwest of recently completed hole BBY22077 which provided two intersections of spodumene bearing pegmatite.
United Lithium have also deepened hole BBY21170 (which was drilled 50m south of BBY21069) to test if the spodumene rich horizon is continuous to the southwest. The hole had previously intersected pegmatite from 110.55m to 116.50m downhole.
Michael Dehn, President and CEO of United Lithium stated: “We are quickly understanding the orientation and control of our new pegmatite discovery at the Bergby project, which is delivering a high hit rate for lithium mineralization in our drilling. We now recognize that in places younger faulting has offset the pegmatite and we will be incorporating this factor into our exploration targeting. We look forward to further testing of this discovery and additional targets in 2022.”
