DIOS RELEASES A MAP OF 7 DRILL HOLE RESULTS ACROSS A 425 M STRIKE OF THE PONTAX LITHIUM (RB-BE-TA-CS) DISCOVERY ZONE
Dios Exploration Inc. has released a result location map of sevendiamond drill holes drilled across a 425 meter strike on the PONTAXLITHIUM discovery zone, southwest James Bay, Quebec.
The result location map is available on-line.
Thelithium mineralized zone returned values up to 1.38 % Li2O over 12 m(meter), 1.43% Li2O over 13 m, 2,050 g/t Rb (ppm rubidium) over 13 m,1.69 % Li2O over 9 m from drilling and a 21 m with almost 1 % lithiumoxide.
The surface view map also shows horizontal diamond saw channelsample results, with values in percent Li2O. One composite samplereturned 1.03 % Li2O over 19 m. Tables give associated metals(RB-BE-TA-CS) drill and saw sample results in metal value: forinstance, a tantalum value (Ta) multiplied by 1.22 gives a Ta2O5 value.
The zone is open at depth and along strike, meaning that onboth ends of the outcropping small hill, there is swampy vegetationhiding possible extents.
This LITHIUM (RB-BE-TA-CS) discovery was made recently bySIRIOS RESOURCES (50 %) and DIOS while mapping and looking for othercommodities. The discovery was confirmed this Fall with six rocksamples grading percent Li2O of 5.46, 4.08, 4.02, 2.90, 2.71, 2.56 %Li2O.
Values were up to 1,990 ppm Rb, 96 ppm Ta2O5, 330 ppm cesium & 97 ppm niobium.
All samples were assayed at Actlabs laboratories, Ancaster, ON.Mineralized standards and blanks were implemented in each sample batchfor quality control. Sodium peroxide was used to dissolve samples, thento be assayed by ICP-AES and ICP-MS.
DIOS renewed its agreement with MI3 Communication FinanciereInc. to provide investor relations services thus increasing itsvisibility within the financial community. MI3, a Montreal-based firm,provides communication services to public companies, primarily in themining sector.
