Grid Metals outlines initial cesium resource at Falcon West in Manitoba
The Lucy South deposit at Falcon West includes 51,500 tonnes grading 2.58% cesium monoxide and 1.47% lithium oxide.
Grid Metals has outlined an initial resource for its Falcon West property in Manitoba, positioning the project as the world’s second-largest cesium resource being actively developed by Western-based companies, Mining.com reports.
The Falcon West Lucy South deposit contains 51,500 tonnes grading 2.58% cesium monoxide, Cs2O, and 1.47% lithium oxide, Li2O, for contained metal of 1,322 tonnes Cs2O and 756 tonnes Li2O, according to the company.
Grid Metals also highlighted a higher grade pollucite zone within Lucy South, with 15,600 tonnes grading 5.19% Cs2O and 1.76% Li2O, containing 811 tonnes of cesium oxide.
Mining.com notes that an analyst said the high-grade zone at Lucy alone is larger than Power Metals’ full resource at Case Lake in Ontario, where the inferred open pit resource is 13,000 tonnes at 2.4% Cs2O and 1.3% Li2O.
