Quantum Minerals (OTC: QMCQF) (TSX.V: QMC) (FSE: 3LQ) is continuing exploration efforts at its Irgon Mine property, which is located in a region known for hosting spodumene and rare-element-bearing pegmatites. An article discussing the company reads, “Spodumene is a lithium-bearing silicate mineral that occurs in geochemically enriched granitic pegmatites, and QMC’s hard rock exploration has focused on the possibility of new commercial-level production at a site with a historical estimate calculated over 50 years ago to be 1.2 million tons grading 1.51 percent lithium oxide over a strike length of 365 meters (1,197.5 feet) and to a depth of 213 meters (698.8 feet). The dike is currently open in all directions. The company is in the process of bringing the historical estimate up to current NI 43-101 standards. As part of this process, the company is undertaking a diamond drilling program to confirm the historical assays and drill intersection widths of the Irgon pegmatite. All core samples will be analyzed for 56 elements, including lithium, beryllium, rubidium, cesium, tantalum and niobium, using a sodium peroxide fusion followed by an inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy assay (ICP-AES/ICP-MS). QMC’s consultant, SGS Canada, will undertake these assays at its Lakefield, Ontario, laboratory.”
