The company is acquiring an exploration project near its flagship Authier project.

The Tansim project is in a lithium producing region of Quebec

Sayona Mining Ltd ( ASX:SYA) is expanding its lithium footprint in Canada through the staged acquisition of the Tansim exploration project.

Tansim is 82 kilometres southwest of the company’s Authier Lithium Project and is in a lithium producing region of Quebec

The project comprises 65 mineral claims of 12,000 hectares, and is prospective for lithium, tantalum, and beryllium.

Pegmatites mapped over 9 kilometres

Pegmatites have been mapped over 9 kilometres with channel sampling intersecting up to

18.95 metres at 0.94% lithium carbonate and selective rock chips of between 2.04% and 2.87%.

Corey Nolan, chief executive officer, said: “The company is excited to have another exciting lithium project in close proximity to the Authier project.

“Sayona will draw on its significant experience and expertise in lithium geology in the region, developed through more than 20,000 metres of drilling and exploration at Authier.

"Tansim demonstrates stand-alone potential but could be developed as a complementary satellite operation to Authier, where the company is completing a definitive feasibility study.”

Option agreement on property

The property is being acquired through an option agreement with Matamec Explorations Inc.

Sayona can obtain a 50% interest through expenditure of C$105,000 for claim renewal costs, as required by the Quebec Department of Natural Energy and Resources.

This amount is reduced by the exploration amount of up to C$65,000 completed before 31 January 2018.

Two stages to acquire 100%

A 100% interest can be earned through completing two stages over two years.

The first is investing C$200,000 in exploration and payment of C$100,000 in cash to Matamec within the first 12 months.

Stage II involves investing C$350,000 in exploration and paying C$250,000 in cash in the second year.

Sayona will be the operator of a joint venture between both parties to manage the property.

Once 100% is earned, Matamec receives a 2% net smelter return royalty from the payable metals extracted from the property.

Historical exploration has included mapping, sampling and geophysics.

Field activities planned

Sayona’s short-term focus exploration activities include reinterpretation of historic exploration and geophysical data until winter ends in April.

Field activities will comprise mapping and sampling of the pegmatites to define drilling targets.

Targets include Viau-Dallaire, a 300 metre long dyke, and Viau where pegmatites have been mapped up to 200 metres long and 30 metres wide.

Era por esto y mucha gente se puso a vender. Yo creo que aun asi hay mucho margen de creciemiento. Pero era para saber porque pasaba.

Queda lo mejor por llegar, aún no han explotado los proyectos que tienen. Estan financiados y este año será bueno. La acción corrigió y vuelve al alza

Sayona Mining starts Authier metallurgical pilot program

Mining News - Published on Mon, 19 Feb 2018

Sayona Mining Limited has announced that commencement of the pilot plant program for the Authier Lithium Project. The pilot program is being completed by SGS Canada at Lakefield, Ontario. SGS has extensive experience in developing spodumene concentration flowsheets. Over the last ten years, SGS has operated pilot plants for several Canadian hard rock lithium deposits.

Approximately 5.5 tonnes of mineralised pegmatite ore was collected during the Phase 3 drilling program in December 2017. The diamond drill core was assayed and stagecrushed to the appropriate particle size to feed the pilot plant. Two composite pilot plant feed samples have been prepared to represent Years 0 to 5 and Years 5+ of the operation. The pilot plant flowsheet comprises grinding, de-sliming, magnetic separation, mica and spodumene flotation. The pilot plant is scheduled to operate for 100 hours at a feed rate of 50 kg/hour.

The objectives of the piloting program are to produce a 6% Li20 concentrate at recoveries of greater than 80% and confirm:

1. Finalisation of the flowsheet and processing parameters for spodumene concentrate production developed during the Pre-Feasibility Study;
2. Produce engineering data for equipment sizing and plant design; and
3. Generation of spodumene concentrate for downstream lithium carbonate testing and marketing purposes. 

The data collected from the piloting program will be incorporated into the Definitive Feasibility Study which is expected to be completed during the 2Q 2018.

Mr Corey Nolan, Chief Executive Officer, commented that "The objective of the pilot program is to further refine the design and confirm the operating parameters for the Authier process plant, in order to de-risk the plant construction, commissioning and ramp-up. The Company is focused on the rapid progression of the project towards production to capitalise on the strong projected price outlook for spodumene concentrates.”

Sayona Mining survey shows lithium potential at new Tansim project, close to Authier

Share 

13:48 21 Mar 2018

The company will draw on its significant experience and expertise in lithium geology in the region.

Tansim is about 82 kilometres from the company’s Authier Lithium Project in Québec

Sayona Mining Ltd ( ASX:SYA) has completed an airborne geophysics survey at the Tansim Lithium Project in Quebec, Canada.

The company embarked on a staged acquisition of Tansim in January.

Tansim is about 82 kilometres from the company’s Authier Lithium Project in Québec where it has a JORC resource of 17.4 million tonnes at about 1% lithium.

A prefeasibility study has been completed at Authier which indicates the company could establish a project generating annual underlying earnings of $38 million.

Following the company’s success with the Authier project, the reasonably close proximity of Tansim is of relevance.

Knowledge of Authier geology is beneficial

Management is keen to recommence exploration when weather conditions allow.

Corey Nolan, chief executive officer, said: “Sayona is planning to commence exploration as soon as the winter snow has melted and it can get clear access to the property.

“The company will draw on its significant experience and expertise in lithium geology in the region, developed through more than 20,000 metres of drilling and exploration at Authier.”

Surface mapping shows 9-kilometre long pegmatite

The survey has confirmed a strong east-west magnetic anomaly coincident with surface mapping of pegmatites over an area 9 kilometres long and up to 700 metres wide.

Mapping, sampling and drilling will be required to define the geometry of the pegmatites.

Near-term definition of drilling targets

The priority focus of the next exploration program planned in April is to define drilling targets at Viau Dallaire and Viau.

The former is a 300-metre long dyke, between 12 and 20 metres in thickness.

Three channel samples included 10.3 metres at 1.4% lithium and 19 metres at about 1% lithium.

Viau’s pegmatites have been mapped up to 200 metres in length and 30 metres in width with two separate channel samples returning grades of up to 2.7% lithium.
