Subsequent sampling ticked all the right boxes, including high grades of Li2O and pathfinder elements, along with low potassium-to-rubidium (K\/Rb) ratios and elevated caesium (Cs).<\/p>\n<p>Low K\/Rb ratios are a significant sign of potentially highly-fractionated lithium-bearing pegmatites.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Drilling into White Bear<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This shallow dipping, 275m long (and counting) pegmatite is now the focus of the maiden diamond drilling program.<\/p>\n<p>FIN has already completed six holes for 794m as part of the diamond drilling campaign at the prospect, with 4 of those intersecting large spodumene crystals (these can grade 5-7% lithium).<\/p>\n<p>Geologists are on site using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) to rapidly analyse the samples and confirm the presence of lithium and other relevant elements. Drilling continues, with proper lab assays expected in 4-6 weeks from first holes drilled.<\/p>\n<p>The White Bear prospect remains open along strike to the northeast and southwest and down-dip to the northwest.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a major structure which appears to bound the White Bear pegmatite also lies to the east of a large pegmatite outcrop to the southwest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe extent of pegmatite occurrences identified so far are restricted only by the work conducted to date,\u201d the company says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFurther exploration work, once the diamond drilling program has been completed, is required to determine the potential for the pegmatites, identified so far, to extend along strike and at depth, as well as for additional pegmatites to the west.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRegionally, the project area holds good potential for the discovery of additional lithium bearing pegmatites.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>The White Bear prospect with completed drillholes and pegmatite outcrop.
