GURNEE, IL / ACCESSWIRE / December 18, 2023 / BrightRock Gold Corp. (OTC Pink:BRGC) is pleased to announce the continued interpretation of imaging data collected by SpecTIR, LLC. This past August (see 8/22/2023 Company Update), the engagement of SpecTIR, LLC, resulted in the production of a groundbreaking and first-of-its-kind discovery of a significant spodumene deposit at BrightRock's Midnight Owl Property near Wickenburg, Arizona, utilizing a long-wave infrared (LWIR) hyperspectral survey. The ground-breaking process opened up a new avenue for exploring hard-rock lithium resources, marking the first direct detection of spodumene-grade lithium in a commercial airborne survey. They executed the hyperspectral imaging data collection at a resolution of around 3 feet (1 meter), adhering to military-grade standards.
Figure 1 exhibits the SpecTIR mineral mapping that encompasses BrightRock's current and extended claims for the Midnight Owl Project, as observed in the August 2023 Update.
Figure 2 depicts the updated edition of the SpecTIR LWIR mapping, with a specific emphasis on the main spodumene region.
Summary of Results
SpecTIR achieved a significant breakthrough by identifying lithium-rich pegmatites using their Long Wave Infrared (LWIR) Aerial Fixed Wing Survey. These enhanced photos provide more evidence to support this unprecedented discovery. In August 2023, the initial news revealed the presence of extensive spodumene in the bottom red zone. In that news parcel above the red area, less intricate images above the red zone predominantly depicted the westward movement of quartz (blue). However, the recently obtained high-resolution images reveal a dense distribution of spodumene below the blue area, indicating a potentially larger and wider lithium deposit extending throughout the quartz. These observations suggest that the magnitude and concentration of this deposit exceed our initial estimations.
Mac J. Shahsavar, P. Eng. Chairman and CEO of BRGC, commented on these new photos, stating, "This mapping more clearly reflects the extent and density of the Spodumene deposits, which removes any element of guessing from the geologists' job ahead. This development lays the groundwork for future economic and exploratory endeavors that BRGC will undertake as it aims to actively advance this asset towards an initial mineral resource estimation."
