Rare Earth Minerals plc reported that the planned drillhole programme at the Cinovec lithium/tin project has been completed on time and budget, without time loss incidents. In total 17 drillholes were drilled to a summary depth of 6,081 meters. In addition, a highly experienced mining executive has been appointed Country Manager of the Project. Highlights from the EMH release: Analytical results for further two drillholes at Cinovec Main confirmed or exceeded the expected lithium content and mineralisation widths; One drillhole is located at the western edge of the deposit near the contact of the mineralisation. The other drillhole is located in the central part of Cinovec Main. This hole has returned the best lithium interval to date; Hole CIW-23 recorded an interval of 261.1m averaging 0.50% Li2O (including high-grade intervals 23.9m at 0.81% Li2O, 8m at 1.05% Li2O, 4m at 1.17% Li2O, 4m at 1.41% Li2O, and 6m at 0.95% Li2O. In addition, significant tin and tungsten mineralisation is recorded: 11 meters averaging 0.081% tungsten, 5 meters averaging 0.14% tin and 1 meter averaging 1.2% tin, and 2 meters averaging 0.088% tungsten; Hole CIW-10 reported an intercept of 223.9m averaging 0.43% Li2O; Geological information from all 17 drillholes has been compiled into the Cinovec database and serves to update the geological model for Cinovec Main. The geologic model will be used to constrain and update the current block model. The block model will be updated in early February when all analyses will be received. The block model and resource calculation will be part of the Pre-Feasibility Study planned for release in April 2017.
