Eureka Identifies Significant New Pegmatite Exposures and Completes Extensive Lithium Exploration Field Program Collecting 954 Samples at Raglan West and Raglan South Projects, Nunavik, Quebec
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 10, 2024) - Eureka Lithium Corp. (CSE: ERKA) (OTCQB: UREKF) (FSE: S580) ("Eureka Lithium" or "Eureka" or the "Company"), owner of the largest lithium-focused land package in the top third of Quebec, has completed its 2024 exploration field program targeting lithium-bearing pegmatite deposits within its 100% owned Raglan West and Raglan South projects located within the mineral-rich region of Nunavik, Quebec, Canada.
Eureka Lithium is pleased to announce the completion of the Raglan West and Raglan South 2024 targeted exploration programs. The objective of this program was to perform follow-up prospecting, till and lake sediment sampling within areas previously prospected by the Company in 2023.
Extensive geochemical coverage and new pegmatite discoveries
On the Raglan South claims, a new area of significant pegmatite exposure containing muscovite and garnet was found within mafic metavolcanic rocks and heavily sampled. This new area of pegmatite exposure is the largest in size identified by Eureka to date and increases the number of pegmatites found from 2023. The field crews achieved 317 till samples. All possible samples were completed with good quality till reported. 22 lake sediment samples were collected. 57 stations have been completed with the collection of 118 assay samples.
At Raglan West, field crews achieved excellent coverage in the till program with a total of 577 samples (663 stations). Till quality ranged from fair to excellent. 48 lake sediment samples were collected. 120 stations were recorded throughout the prospecting program, which included some infill from regional prospecting not covered in 2023. A total of 36 rock samples were collected. Several small regions of pegmatitic partial melt were noted within the metasedimentary unit across the claims.
The samples collected during this program are being initially scanned and sorted in the field by using a handheld XRF analyzer and selected samples will be sent to the laboratories for analysis. A field quality assurance program has been developed which includes retaining traverse trackfiles, inserting QAQC samples for XRF / assays, and retaining digital data files.
DJ Bowen, Eureka President and interim-CEO commented: "We are very pleased with the expanded geochemical coverage across the Raglan West and Raglan South properties. The now unmatched claim-wide coverage will yield more conclusive results on the lithium anomalies observed in these areas. This important work and the data collected from our 2024 field program is assisting in delineating and prioritising the areas within our projects that are most prospective for possible lithium bearing deposits. We look forward to additional results and ongoing advancement of this significant lithium prospect."
Nunavik community tour underway Erin Bros (géo), Senior Geologist & Indigenous Relations Advisor with GroundTruth will visit the majority of Nunavik communities on behalf of Eureka. This tour will aim to continue positive relations for Eureka with neighbouring Inuit communities that are stakeholders in all of Eureka's Nunavik properties.
