Recharge Resources Ltd Announces Sample Results from Its 100% Owned Pinchi Lake Project Have Exceeded the Upper Limit Maximum of 15% for Magnesium
Recharge Resources Ltd. announced that sample results from its 100% owned Pinchi Lake project have exceeded the upper limit maximum of 15% for Magnesium under its current assay protocol. Recharge has ordered a new rush assay with increased maximum thresholds for Magnesium to determine the true high grade. The Company is planning a follow-up Nickel-Magnesium exploration program at Pinchi Lake, BC to further define these discovery areas. The Company has also instructed its geological team to begin designing a Phase 1 exploration program for its recently acquired "Beaver South" project contiguous to Inomin Mines Inc. that announced recent critical mineral discoveries on March 29th, 2022 at their "Beaver" Nickel-Cobalt property in BC, returning 252 Metres of 20.6% Magnesium, 0.16% Nickel, And 0.33% Chromium. A total of 42 rock samples were collected from the Murray Ridge Property during the 2021 exploration programs. Rocks were placed in clear poly bags, labelled with sample identification and packed into rice bags. A chain of custody record was established and secured with the shipment which was taken from Smithers, BC to SGS Labs in Burnaby, BC via Bandstra Transport. No issues with sample security or integrity were noted. In the assay lab rocks were weighed, fine crushed, screened and split. Rocks were analyzed by Multi-acid (Four acid) digestion with ICP-OES finish (SGS method ICP40Q12) for 33 elements including Ag, Al, As, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, La, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, P, Pb, S, Sb, Sc, Sn, Sr, Ti, V, W, Y, Zn and Zr. Quality control procedure was implemented for sample batches involving the insertion of standards and blanks. In addition to internal laboratory standards, three (3) reference material and blanks were inserted randomly into the flow of rock sample analysis. The results of the control samples are within the accepted parameters for accuracy, precision and overall performance of the certified materials. Analytical standards used were from CDN Resource Laboratories Ltd., Langley, BC and ORE RESEARCH & EXPLORATION (OREAS), Victoria, Australia. No internal laboratory issues occurred during the analytical procedures. Nickel values locked within silicate minerals are not economically recoverable with presently available technology. Davis Tube analysis is a method of magnetic separation used to determine the proportion of nickel that occurs within awaruite, a natural nickel-iron alloy that is easily recoverable. A total of thirty rock samples collected from the three claims were selected to undergo magnetic separation through Davis Tube analysis separation by SGS Laboratories in Burnaby, BC. Samples were selected based on highest nickel values reported in original ICP-AES/MS assays. A 40-gram subsample was passed through the Davis Tube and agitated for four minutes. Magnetic concentrate was then collected, filtered, dried and weighed. An approximately 10 g subsample of the Davis Tube concentrates was analyzed by XRF. In total 20 of the 30 samples reported no recovered magnetic fraction indicating low quantities of magnetic minerals in these samples. In samples with magnetically recovered fractions, nickel values of the magnetic portions range from 0.19 to 0.46 % nickel, with Davis Tube Recoverable (DTR) nickel values ranging from 0.002% to 0.021%. Samples containing magnetically recoverable nickel collected on the Murray Ridge Property appear to demonstrate elevated DTR nickel is highest in the Pinchi Lake Nickel claim group. Of the samples submitted, nine from the Pinchi Lake Nickel group contained between 0.002-0.007% DTR nickel. Elsewhere on the Property overall DTR nickel values are relatively low and only one single sample within Pinchi Mt. Nickel claims returned sufficient magnetic fraction for analysis. The highest value of DTR Ni was collected from Pinchi Mt. Nickel Claim which returned up to 0.021% DTR from an outcrop of fine grained, strongly magnetic, and pervasively serpentinized ultramafic. None of the samples collected from Pinchi Lake Nickel East claims contained sufficient magnetic content for DTR analysis.
