EMP Metals Reports Updated Resource Estimate
EMP Metals Corp. (CSE: EMPS, OTCQB: EMPPF) is thrilled to share an updated Technical Report detailing the resource estimates for its Viewfield and Mansur lithium brine projects. This comprehensive report showcases a remarkable increase in the total resource, significantly boosting both the indicated and inferred lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) for these projects, which positions EMP favorably within the growing lithium market.
Resource Estimate Highlights
The updated report reveals a staggering over 78.5% increase in the total resource, demonstrating EMP's commitment to expanding its asset base in the lithium sector. The specifics of the resource estimate are impressive, with a total of:
- 931,038 tonnes of indicated LCE with an average lithium concentration of 141 mg/L.
- 1,117,225 tonnes of inferred LCE at an average lithium concentration of 112 mg/L.
This significant upgrade in indicated resources at the Viewfield project from the previous inferred mineral resource is a clear testament to the effectiveness of EMP's exploration strategies and drilling methodologies.
High-Grade Lithium Confirmation
Additionally, the confirmation of high-grade lithium brine, averaging 141 mg/L for indicated and 112 mg/L for inferred resources, positions EMP's projects as competitively viable in a rapidly evolving market.
New Land Acquisitions Strengthen Position
Since the last technical update, EMP has fortified its land holdings by an impressive 20%, securing over 6,700 hectares of prime prospective land in the Viewfield and Mansur permit areas. This brings the total landholding to over 83,000 hectares, emphasizing EMP's robust strategy for long-term growth in Southeast Saskatchewan.
Technical Approach and Methodology
Employing advanced stochastic Monte Carlo modeling techniques, the resource estimates utilize Oracle's Crystal Ball software to provide a nuanced representation of geological uncertainty. This methodology enhances the robustness of EMP's evaluation, integrating all available data to ensure a thorough assessment of the potential lithium quantities within their projects.
High Standards in Quality Assurance
EMP prioritizes quality assurance and control in its exploration activities. The use of downhole mechanical swabbing techniques and collaboration with independent laboratories such as Isobrine Solutions for brine testing guarantees the integrity of the data collected.
Investor Relations and Engagement
In addition to its operational advancements, EMP has engaged Adelaide Capital to enhance its investor relations strategy. This partnership aims to effectively communicate EMP’s progress in exploration and development, ensuring that stakeholders are kept well-informed about future initiatives and milestones.
Under the terms of the investor relations consulting agreement, which becomes active shortly, EMP will compensate Adelaide with a monthly fee along with a grant of stock options, highlighting EMP's pro-active approach to investor engagement.
Stock Options and Grants
EMP Metals further demonstrated its commitment to stakeholders through the grant of an aggregate of 1,650,000 incentive stock options to its directors and officers. This initiative helps align the interests of the company’s leadership with those of its shareholders.
