Integral Metals Unearths Potential at the Burntwood Project
Integral Metals Reveals Exciting Developments at Burntwood Project
Integral Metals Corp. (CSE: INTG | OTC: ITGLF | FSE: ZK9) is thrilled to announce significant findings from a comprehensive rock geochemistry program carried out at the Burntwood Rare Earth Element (REE) Project. This innovative exploration initiative, located in northern Manitoba, aims to enhance the company’s targeting strategies for REE-rich zones that are often linked to carbonatite and syenite intrusions.
Insights from Geochemical Analysis
The Burntwood Project stands out due to its complex alkaline intrusive system, characterized by foliated syenites and localized carbonatite phases. To gain a clearer understanding of its mineral potential, Integral Metals embarked on an extensive grid survey in the previous year. This survey involved meticulous rock geochemical sampling, processing a total of 438 rock samples harvested from the diverse intrusive complex.
Results Overview
Laboratory analyses unveiled notable concentrations of light rare earth elements (LREEs). Remarkably, some samples exhibited total REE content exceeding 3,800 ppm. Within this dataset, several samples recorded lanthanum values surpassing 1,000 ppm and cerium levels above 2,500 ppm. These findings place them among the top samples analyzed, with the REE-rich rocks also demonstrating elevated levels of pathfinder elements such as strontium, barium, niobium, and thorium—elements typically enriched in carbonatite-hosted REE systems.
Advanced Data Analysis Techniques
To simplify data interpretation, Integral employed advanced statistical tools including principal component analysis (PCA) and K-means clustering. These techniques helped delineate patterns indicative of mineralization. A noteworthy geochemical cluster was identified (Cluster B – Syenite Mineralization) that displayed heightened REE concentrations alongside increased levels of strontium and barium, coupled with lowered zirconium and hafnium values. This pattern suggests a strong association with carbonatite characteristics. The analysis flagged an area of interest within the alkaline complex deemed prospective for REE mineralization.
CEO Statement
"This represents a crucial milestone in our understanding of the Burntwood system," stated Paul Sparkes, CEO of Integral Metals. "Using modern statistical techniques combined with geoscientific interpretation enables us to convert regional data into precise exploration targets. We now have a rock geochemistry model that will steer our future exploration efforts effectively."
Next Steps in Exploration
Integral Metals is committed to integrating these findings with geological mapping conducted by the Manitoba Geological Survey and other valuable datasets collected. This comprehensive analysis will facilitate the identification of targets for the upcoming exploration phase.
Commitment to Quality and Exploration
The technical content of this announcement has been meticulously reviewed and approved by Jared Suchan, Ph.D., P.Geo., the Vice President of Exploration at Integral Metals, serving as a “Qualified Person” under National Instrument 43-101 regulations.
