Spearmint Resources acquires new Cesium targets near Kirkland Lake
Spearmint Resources Inc. is pleased to announce that it has acquired the Case Lake South Cesium Prospect in Ontario consisting of approximately 2500 contiguous acres.
James Nelson, President of Spearmint, stated "The acquisition of the Case Lake South prospect positions Spearmint in the arena of cesium which has generated a significant increase of interest recently. We expect to be very active this summer and plan to start multiple work programs shortly, at a time when the junior market is experiencing a very strong rebound."
These new claims are directly bordering Power Metals Corp.'s Case Lake Cesium Property located in the Larder Lake Mining Division in Northeast Ontario.
This new prospect is accessible year-round with proximity to the Translimit road that connects Ontario to Quebec. In a news release from November 13, 2018, Power Metals Corp.'s announced Cesium grades as high as 14.7 per cent Cs2O (cesium oxide) over 1.0 metre in drill hole PWM-18-126 on their Case Lake Cesium Property. Cesium is extremely rare globally. The United States Department of the Interior included cesium, lithium and vanadium on its list of critical minerals (USGS website, dated May 18, 2018). Spearmint has projects that explore for each of these.
