QMC Quantum Minerals Corp., has received the required work permit from the Government of Manitoba for the company’s Irgon Lithium Mine property. The company has now mobilized the work crew and equipment to the work site.

The initial work program is designed to strip the overburden off the dike thereby exposing it completely along strike. Subsequently, the company will initiate a program of channel sampling across the dike, at intervals along the entire strike length of the dike to extend the known mineralized zone and confirm previous grab sampling, trenching and drilling results.

Between 1953-1954, the Lithium Corporation of Canada Limited drilled 25 holes into the Irgon Dike and reported a historical resource estimate of 1.2 million tons grading 1.51 percent Li2O over a strike length of 365 meters and to a depth of 213 meters. This historical resource is documented in a 1956 Assessment Report by Bruce Ballantyne for the Lithium Corporation of Canada Ltd. (Manitoba Assessment Report No. 94932). This historical estimate is believed to be based on reasonable assumptions and the company/QP has no reason to contest the document’s relevance and reliability. A detailed drill program will be required to update this historical resource to current NI 43-101 standards. Historic metallurgical tests reported an 87 percent recovery from which a concentrate averaging 5.9 percent Li2O was obtained. During this historical 1950 era work program, a complete mining plant was installed on site designed to process 500 tons of ore per day and in addition, a three-compartment shaft was sunk to a depth of 74 meters. On the 61 meter level, lateral development was extended off the shaft for a total of 366 meters of drifting from which six crosscuts transected the dike. The work was suspended in 1957, awaiting a more favorable market for lithium oxides and at this point the mine buildings were removed.
