AVZ Minerals drills 250m @ 1.48% Li2Oin the Carriere de L’Est Pegmatite, Manono Sector
Highlights
• Assays received for final hole of initial seven-hole drill program at Manono Lithium
Project in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
• The Carriere de L’Est Pegmatite, with a length of about 5,500m, is the largest
pegmatite in the Manono Lithium Project.
• Assay results from drill-hole MO17DD007 confirmed the mineralisation distribution
and tenor evident from the spodumene present in the drill-core; from 1.9m -
252.83m, an intercept of 250.93m* @ 1.48% Li2O and 913ppm Sn.
• The thickness of intersected pegmatite and the geometric relationship between the
location of MO17DD007 and mapped pegmatite boundaries suggests the thickness of the pegmatite may be 280m.
• Carriere de L’Este Pegmatite is located some 5km north east of the Roche Dure Pegmatite (MO17DD001 235m @ 1.66% Li2O and MO17DD002 203m @ 1.57% Li2O).
• AVZ is the first company to have completed a drill hole (MO17DD007) to test the
Carriere de L’Est Pegmatite.
• Extensive diamond and RC drill program scheduled to commence in Q4 2017.
AVZ’s Executive Chairman, Mr. Eckhof commented: “This result is a significant milestone for the
Company. It represents the first drill hole ever completed into the Carriere de L’Est pegmatite,
Manono Sector of the Manono Lithium Project. It is also the largest pegmatite within the Manono
Kitotolo system and presents a significant target for the Company in defining resources. To our knowledge, this is the longest pegmatite intercept ever reported and 250.93m @ 1.48% Li2Owould
have to be one of the finest. This sector has the potential to add materially to the current exploration
target as well as the economics of the overall project for both lithium and tin.”
