"Visual estimates of spodumene abundance may give you a sense, but assays are the true measure and have certainly astounded with this hole," said Darren Smith, VP of Exploration of PMET. "Drill hole CV22-083 has raised the bar ever higher with respect to the considerable potential at CV5 as we continue to delineate it, and by extension, the rest of the CV lithium district held by the Company that has yet to be drill tested." PMET went on to report results from another 52.2m of 3.34% Li 2 O, including 15.0m of 5.10% Li 2 O, and another set of results delivering 22.6m at 1.56% Li 2 O, including 3.19% Li 2 O in its first holes to test another pegmatite cluster on the property. Meanwhile in Nevada, construction has commenced Lithium Americas Corp.'s (NYSE:LAC) (TSX:LAC) Thacker Pass Lithium Mine in Nevada, which received judicial approval against attempts to halt it.
