Clean Air Metals Inc. has announced a 1,600-meter drilling program at its Thunder Bay North Critical Minerals (TBN) project. The program will include up to ten short holes targeting near-surface high-grade zones within the Current deposit, aiming to better define their lateral continuity and tonnage potential. This follows a detailed assessment by the company’s new technical team, which reviewed existing geological and geophysical data and identified potential opportunities for improving resource estimates.
The drilling, set to begin in August, seeks to refine the understanding of high-grade zones and enhance the data available for future exploration and resource delineation. The company also noted that current geophysical methods have limitations in detecting certain high-grade areas, indicating that tighter drill spacing could increase tonnage and grade estimates. Results from this program will help guide future exploration and potential bulk sampling plans, pending the approval of an Advanced Exploration permit.
"New insights provided by Vice President of Exploration Dr. Lionnel Djon and director Dr. David Peck has led to a refinement to the geological template for the TBN deposits. The upcoming drilling program is a critical step in the Company's plan to significantly improve the TBN project economics by fully defining the highest value mineralization within the Current and Escape deposits." said Mike Garbutt CEO of Clean Air Metals.
