Another project started by management re Lithium prospect
"ALIX TO COMMENCE WORK AT HISTORICAL LITHIUM RESOURCE AT JACKPOT LITHIUM PROPERTY, ONTARIO
October 26th, 2017, Vancouver, BC, Canada – ALIX RESOURCES CORP. (“Alix” or the “Company”) (AIX-TSX:V) (37N–FRANKFURT) announces a work program is set to commence in the first week of November at its 100% owned Jackpot Lithium project located in the Georgia Lake area within the Thunder Bay Mining Division, Ontario. The program will consist of stripping, channel sampling and drill pad set-ups. The objective of this program will be to confirm historic drilling and the continuity and extent of the near surface No. 1 zone. As drill permits are currently in place, drilling is expected to commence shortly after completion of this program.
President and CEO Michael England commented, "The lithium sector has definitely heated up and we look forward to getting back on the ground in order to advance one of our premiere prospective properties boasting an historic lithium resource at Jackpot.”
The Jackpot lithium deposits was described by E.G. Pye in a 1965 report published by the Ontario Depart. of Mines on the Georgia Lake Area. The deposits were tested by a total of 32 holes drilled in 1955 by Ontario Lithium Company Limited and its associated company Conwest Exploration Co. Ltd. The drilling confirmed the presence of at least two spodumene-bearing pegmatite bodies, one at the surface (No. 1) and the other (No. 2) lying directly beneath the No. 1 deposit. Historical resources at Jackpot, comprising only the No. 2 Dyke pegmatite zone, was reported as 2Mt @ 1.09 Li2O estimated in 1956 by Ontario Lithium Company Limited*. The No. 2 pegmatite dyke, which was discovered by diamond-drilling, was intersected at 30 to 100 meters intervals over a strike length of 215 meters and at 30-60 meters intervals over a distance of 365 meters across strike. Dyke No. 2 is 4 to 20 meters thick, averaging 11 meters.
*The estimates presented above are treated as historic information and have not been verified or relied upon for economic evaluation by the Company. These historical mineral resources do not refer to any category of sections 1.2 and 1.3 of the NI-43-101 Instrument such as mineral resources or mineral reserves as stated in the 2010 CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves. The explanation lies in the inability by the Company to verify the data acquired by the various historical drilling campaigns. The Company has not done sufficient work yet to classify the historical estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.
