Windsor, Nova Scotia, CANADA, June 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Triple One Metals Inc. ("Triple One" or the "Company") (CSE:TONE) is a growth-oriented company headquartered in Windsor, Nova Scotia, Canada, acquiring critical metal and gold mineral assets in Eastern Canada. The Company is actively growing its specialized portfolio of lithium and precious metal assets. It also holds interests in value-added gold assets in Canada resulting from previous acquisitions in the precious metals space. The Company is pleased to report that it has completed its first phase of helicopter assisted prospecting and geochemical sampling at its Triple One Lithium property located north of the Town of Burgeo and southeast of the Kraken Lithium discovery pegmatite fields uncovered by the Alliance between of Benton Resources and Sokoman Minerals.
Notwithstanding high winds along the south coast of Newfoundland, conditions for exploration were nearly ideal.
The Burgeo Project consists of one mineral exploration licence (035633MM) containing 111 individual claims covering 2,775 hectares. The property is located approximately 17 kilometres north of the small town of Burgeo. The evolving deposit model examines radiating pegmatite dike swarms within the Burgeo and Chetwynd intrusive suites. The geology is building on key geological parameters associated with the Kraken lithium discovery made in 2021 by the Sokoman Minerals – Benton Resources 50/50 Strategic Alliance and is based on their large district-scale model. The Kraken discovery lies approximately 14 kilometres to the northwest of the Company’s Triple One Project. A total of 35 sample were collected for whole rock and trace element geochemistry. The samples are currently undergoing preparation, with cutting, petrographic, and geochemical studies underway. The Company is looking forward to receiving analytical results from the property. Although not confirmed, Triple One is anticipating analytical results to be returned within 5-6 weeks.
At Kraken and its surrounding projects, the Alliance continues to drill on their high-grade spodumene-bearing pegmatites where drill assays yield grades more than 1% Li2O with the dike swarms still open at depth and along strike.

Although analytical results have not yet been finalized, field identification suggest spodumene is present in east-west trending pegmatites. Mineralogical identification and geochemistry are ongoing.
Subsequently planned exploration will include integrating geological, geochemical, and geophysical data acquisition. High -resolution drone photography, and soil and till geochemistry will also be carried out in the summer. Much of the exploration work will, in part be helicopter supported. If the project proceeds to the drilling stage, then a mobile field camp may be established to help reduce daily commute times to and from the project site.
Company Chairman Bill Fleming stated, “We’re pleased with the positive indication of spodumene on the property, but we caution more work is necessary”. He further commented, “These are exciting times as Newfoundland emerges as a significant lithium district in the Appalachian Mountain Chain, especiallygiven the first lithium and caesium discovers in the western Dunnage Zone by the Benton Resources – Sokoman Minerals 50/50 Strategic Alliance. We believe the presence of lithium close to our propertyopens a huge opportunity for us to add to our list of critical metal discoveries in the Province of Newfoundland”.
This mineral corridor, is in part defined by the Hermitage Flexure with its associated fault structures, may hold potential for the first major lithium ± cesium bearing ore deposit in Atlantic Canada. Exploration to date on the Burgeo Project shows both granite and pegmatite dike development to be far more abundance than initially expected.

In addition, quartz – tourmaline ± pyrite veins in the Burgeo Granite require further exploration for gold, tungsten, and molybdenum mineralization.
