CBLT (CBLT) has received the first assay results from its sampling and mapping program at Shatford Lake in southeast Manitoba.

Shatford Lake’s proximity to the Tanco Mine and CBLT’s prior assay results called for further exploration.

CBLT recognizes the importance of Sagkeeng First Nation’s Traditional Land Rights in the area and welcomes continued communication with the Sagkeeng Chief, Council and community for continued guidance.

The Tanco Mine is five kilometres from Shatford Lake. It is an LCT-type pegmatite, producing cesium and tantalum. Lithium, beryllium and rubidium have previously been produced. The Tanco pegmatite has dimensions of 820m by 1,600m, and up to 100m thick, and over 100 minerals have been identified in it.

CBLT references Tanco’s historical resource estimate to inform its knowledge of the area and to support its thesis for lithium exploration at Shatford Lake.

In the summer of 2022, CBLT’s field team took eleven samples from the “Main Pegmatite” on the east side of Softrock1, one of CBLT’s contiguous claims. Analysis was carried out on these samples at an independent lab. The assay results returned elevated values for tin, tantalum, beryllium and rubidium. The highest level for lithium returned 578 ppm, the highest for beryllium returned 9100 ppm, and the highest for rubinium returned 2460 ppm.

“We are pleased with this round of results from the Main Pegmatite,” said Peter M. Clausi, CBLT’s CEO. “The values above, the mapping and the observations from our field team about other unmapped pegmatites in the area all justify further exploration in this area.”

The Main Pegmatite from which these samples were taken contains megacrysts feldspar-quartz-biotite with cassiterite, beryl, and trace columbite mineralization. It is at least 30 meters wide at one location on the shore (the pink line in the picture above). Contacts illustrate a sub-vertical to flatter (-35 degree) dip to the north, indicating a minimal inferred strike length of approximately 100 meters. The Main Pegmatite is open to the east and west of the sampled locations. Various other narrower pegmatite veins proximal to the main large beryl mineralized pegmatite were also sampled.

Another round of samples was taken from the outcrop near the Main Pegmatite and the Main Pegmatite itself. These samples are being prepared for shipment to an accredited analytical laboratory for comprehensive geochemical analyses for LCT mineralization.

CBLT is a Canada-based mineral exploration company engaged in the business of acquiring, exploring, and dealing with mineral properties. 

CBLT Inc. (CBLT) opened trading at C$0.035.
