Caprock Mining Corp. (CSE: CAPR) (“Caprock” or the “Corporate”) is happy to announce that its technical group has found out the presence of zinnwaldite, an bizarre lithium-bearing mineral, right through a 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”) situated in south-eastern Newfoundland, for which the Corporate has an method to achieve a 100% pastime.
Caprock’s CEO Mr. Vishal Gupta states: “Ancient paintings at Ackley returned assays of as much as 0.91% lithium oxide, on the other hand the precise lithium-bearing mineral was once by no means known till an inside review of lately received samples via Caprock’s technical group. We’re very occupied with this discovery, since we consider that it’s a lot more uncomplicated and so much much less capital-intensive to provide 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 challenge in Germany, and its presence has simplest been documented a handful of instances in Canada, in the past. Whilst it’s nonetheless early days in our exploration paintings at Ackley, preliminary prospecting paintings signifies a possible for in depth zinnwaldite mineralization at the Assets associated with the huge ‘greisen’ zone that is living on the touch between the Devonian-aged granite complicated, and the Proterozoic metasediments and volcanics over which the Ackley declare blocks lie.”
Assay effects from snatch samples taken right through fresh box paintings might be printed 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 staff that generally happens in greisens, pegmatites and quartz veins, and is frequently related to tin ore deposits.
On the whole, zinnwaldite ore is the least energy- and capital-intensive laborious rock mining selection to a lithium-brine operation with appreciate to the manufacturing of lithium hydroxide, particularly when in comparison to spodumene ore. While spodumene listen should go through two separate “top temperature” roast cycles previous to the manufacturing of lithium hydroxide, zinnwaldite listen simplest has to go through a unmarried “medium temperature” roast cycle so as 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 way of manufacturing, which permits for larger simple task of provide and keep watch over of manufacturing.

In regards to the Ackley Assets
Ackley incorporates 3 declare blocks that jointly span a space of four,550 hectares situated lower than two hours’ force from St. John’s. The declare blocks overlie parts of the touch zone of a big Devonian-aged granite complicated with Proterozoic metasediments and volcanics, portions of that are “greisened”, or hydrothermally altered, that is the same in age and lithology to the Mount Delightful deposit in New Brunswick and the East Kemptville deposit in Nova Scotia. Restricted ancient exploration paintings around the Major Declare Block via firms 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 in depth, overlaying a number of sq. kilometres. Fresh restricted prospect sampling and ancient 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 crucial absolute best lake sediment values for REEs on all the island.
