Frontier Lithium Inc. announced results on the remaining holes drilled and recent channels cut on the Bolt pegmatite, concluding the 2023 maiden drill program. Located between the Spark and PAK spodumene-bearing lithium deposits, the Bolt pegmatite had only been mapped and channeled on surface exposures up until this year. DDH PL-122-23 extends the pegmatite zone down to a depth of 220 metres with a true width of up to 65m, intersecting 86.5m of continuous pegmatite averaging 0.92% Li2O.

Including 7.0m from 229.5 to 236.5m averaging 1.27% Li2O, Including 10.0m from 243.1 to 253.1m averaging 1.40% Li2O, Including 26.1m from 273.5 to 299.6m averaging 1.39% Li2O, DDH PL-113-23 intersects two pegmatite zones 14.8m and 22.1m wide, averaging 1.38% and 1.39% Li2O, respectively. Including 7.6m from 98.0 to 105.5m averaging 2.09% Li2O, Including 11.4m from 216.8 to 228.2m averaging 2.17% Li2O. DDH PL-115-23 intersects 21.6m of continuous pegmatite averaging 1.94% Li2O, Including 6.3m from 126.0 to 132.3m averaging 2.50% Li2O, Including 5.6m from 133.8 to 139.5m averaging 2.32% Li2O.

Drilling has confirmed that the Bolt pegmatite extends over 600m along strike, with horizontal widths of up to 75m, and remains completely open at depth. The pegmatite appears to have a wide central zone that extends at depth and begins to break up along the strike zone into pods of variable thickness separated by the mafic volcanic and metasedimentary host rock. As previously reported, PL-106-22, PL-107-22, and PL-108-22 suggest the continuity between the Bolt pegmatite and the Spark deposit located 200m to the northwest is in question.

That continuity is however undetermined and will require additional drilling as there may still be a connection between the pegmatites further at depth.
