Caprock Mining Corp. (CSE: CAPR) (“Caprock” or the “Corporate”) is happy to announce that its technical workforce has found out the presence of zinnwaldite, an abnormal lithium-bearing mineral, throughout a just lately concluded prospecting and sampling program at the eastern-most declare block (the “Major Declare Block”) at its Ackley Lithium-Tin-Molybdenum-REEs assets (“Ackley”, or the “Assets”) positioned in south-eastern Newfoundland, for which the Corporate has an solution to achieve a 100% pastime.
Caprock’s CEO Mr. Vishal Gupta states: “Historic paintings at Ackley returned assays of as much as 0.91% lithium oxide, then again the particular lithium-bearing mineral used to be by no means recognized till an inner evaluation of just lately acquired samples via Caprock’s technical workforce. We’re very desirous about this discovery, since we imagine that it’s a lot more straightforward and so much much less capital-intensive to supply lithium hydroxide from zinnwaldite than from the extremely sought-after mineral, spodumene.”
Mr. Gupta is going on to mention, “Zinnwaldite is being effectively mined and processed on the Zinnwald Lithium undertaking in Germany, and its presence has most effective been documented a handful of occasions in Canada, prior to now. Whilst it’s nonetheless early days in our exploration paintings at Ackley, preliminary prospecting paintings signifies a possible for intensive zinnwaldite mineralization at the Assets associated with the huge ‘greisen’ zone that is living on the touch between the Devonian-aged granite advanced, and the Proterozoic metasediments and volcanics over which the Ackley declare blocks lie.”
Assay effects from snatch samples taken throughout contemporary box paintings will probably be revealed in next press releases. The Corporate additionally awaits further affirmation of the zinnwaldite mineralization thru detailed petrographic research of the snatch samples.
Further Knowledge About Zinnwaldite
Zinnwaldite is a potassium-lithium-iron-aluminum-silicate-hydroxide-fluoride phyllosilicate mineral throughout the mica crew that in most cases happens in greisens, pegmatites and quartz veins, and is frequently related to tin ore deposits.
Generally, zinnwaldite ore is the least energy- and capital-intensive laborious rock mining selection to a lithium-brine operation with recognize to the manufacturing of lithium hydroxide, particularly when in comparison to spodumene ore. While spodumene pay attention will have to go through two separate “prime temperature” roast cycles previous to the manufacturing of lithium hydroxide, zinnwaldite pay attention most effective has to go through a unmarried “medium temperature” roast cycle to be able to produce lithium hydroxide.
Moreover, in contrast to spodumene which tends to lose its lithium content material when uncovered to ambient climate stipulations, zinnwaldite isn’t topic to climate stipulations as a method of manufacturing, which permits for higher simple task of provide and keep an eye on of manufacturing.

In regards to the Ackley Assets
Ackley accommodates 3 declare blocks that jointly span a space of four,550 hectares positioned not up to two hours’ force from St. John’s. The declare blocks overlie parts of the touch zone of a big Devonian-aged granite advanced with Proterozoic metasediments and volcanics, portions of that are “greisened”, or hydrothermally altered, that is identical in age and lithology to the Mount Delightful deposit in New Brunswick and the East Kemptville deposit in Nova Scotia. Restricted historic exploration paintings around the Major Declare Block via corporations together with Esso Minerals, American Zinc, Inco and others, found out occurrences and anomalies of lithium, tin, molybdenum, tungsten and REEs.
Fresh magnetometer survey paintings over a part of the Major Declare Block signifies that the altered touch zone is also intensive, masking a number of sq. kilometres. Fresh restricted prospect sampling and historic Esso trenches around the Major declare block returned assays of as much as 0.91% lithium oxide, 5.0% molybdenum, 0.67% tin and 1-5% fluorine on floor. Newfoundland executive survey maps of this area file one of the most best possible lake sediment values for REEs on all the island.
