Falcon West covers the next prospective greenstone belt south of the world-class Tanco mine which operates North America’s only cesium chemical plant. The project is 100%-owned by Grid.
The project boosts high-grade cesium at the Lucy pegmatite. Highlight intercepts include 3.2 m at 4.56% Cs2O (ADL24-09) and 2.2 m at 15.0% Cs2O (LU-12-02). In addition, there is a historical non-compliant resource for the Lucy Pegmatite of 226,000 tonnes grading 1.75% Li2O* with the cesium grade undefined (*Grid Metals is not able to verify the accuracy of the estimate and does not consider it a current resource).
Available exploration data indicate that the Lucy pegmatite is a relatively flat-lying and outcropping body that is at least 1 km long and 200 metres wide. Cesium mineralization is concentrated at the upper contact of the Lucy pegmatite that is locally exposed at surface. The Lucy South cesium zone measures approximately 200 m by 50 m and is open in multiple directions (see Figure below).
