Spearmint Resources increases cesium ground near KL
Spearmint Resources Inc. has announced that it has significantly increased the acreage on its Case Lake South Cesium Prospect in Ontario. Spearmint now has approximately 5000 contiguous acres.
"We are very pleased to significantly increase our acreage directly bordering Power Metals Corp.'s Case Lake Cesium Property. The demand for cesium is starting to gain momentum and we are very optimistic about the future growth globally. Spearmint has multiple projects about to commence operations and management is anticipating a very active summer work program schedule. We expect to have boots on the ground shortly," said James Nelson, President of Spearmint.
Cesium readily combines with oxygen and is used as a getter, a material that combines with and removes trace gases from vacuum tubes. Cesium is also usedin atomic clocks, in photoelectric cells and as a catalyst in the hydrogenation of certain organic compounds.
These new claims are directly bordering Power Metals Corp.'s Case Lake Cesium Property located in the Larder Lake Mining Division near Kirkland Lake. 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.
