Drilling on the West Joe Dyke has intersected a number of pollucite intervals with as much as 24.07 % Cs 2 O at a shallow depth of 15.00 m in drill gap PWM-22-143. Pollucite is the one ore mineral of Cs. The West Joe pollucite zone is characterised by secondary lepidolite (Li) and muscovite alongside fractures in large white pollucite. The pollucite zone is enclosed throughout the internal intermediate zone consisting of coarse-grained pale inexperienced spodumene (Li), coarse-grained white Okay-feldspar enriched in Rubidium (Rb), and Ta-oxide minerals.
SGS Burnaby, British Columbia analytical lab was so shocked by the exceptionally excessive cesium assays that they assayed the samples a number of instances and additional despatched the samples to SGS Lakefield, Ontario which confirmed the numbers and signed off on the assay certificates. Dr. Julie Selway , VP of Exploration, reassured SGS that the cesium outcomes have been to be anticipated as a result of pollucite was seen within the drill core.
Dr. Selway states, “The drill core with 24.07 % Cs 2 O over 1.0 m is the best and most spectacular cesium assay in properties that I’ve labored on in my profession. Certainly one of Energy Metals’ objectives for the summer season 2022 drill program was to comply with up on the 14.70 % Cs 2 O over 1.0 m in drill gap PWM-18-126 from 2018. The 2022 drilling cesium outcomes have surpassed the 2018 outcomes and has additional confirmed the financial worth of the West Joe Dyke.”
Chairman & CEO, Johnathan Extra , said “These cesium high-grade zones have far exceeded our expectations this early within the sport. World chief, Sinomine Useful resource Group, invested in Energy Metals earlier this 12 months and each events are excited with these outcomes. Cesium is extraordinarily uncommon to seek out and is at the moment not being mined anyplace on this planet. Traditionally, it’s present in small portions and the present mineralization seen at Case Lake is being discovered close to floor. These outcomes together with reported and ongoing lithium mineralization is creating large worth for this property.”
The West Joe pollucite zone has Cs grades just like that of Sinclair cesium mine, Australia held by Important Metals Restricted (ASX: ESS). Pollucite was mined by open pit from the Sinclair mine in 2018 (Pioneer Assets Restricted, press launch dated Dec. 12, 2018 ). There are solely two different business cesium mines globally: Tanco mine, Manitoba and Bikita mine, Zimbabwe . Along with the Cs grade, West Joe has the benefits that the pollucite has shallow depths of lower than 50 m beneath floor and highway entry to make it simple for future extraction. One other benefit of West Joe is that it has three financial commodities in the identical zone: lithium, cesium and tantalum. Canadian, Ontario and United States governments have labelled all three commodities as important metals.

Drill holes are oriented perpendicular to the strike size of the pegmatite, so mineralization is near true width.
The pollucite zone at West Joe differs from the opposite three international cesium mines in that at West Joe spodumene is the dominant lithium mineral whereas on the different cesium mines petalite and lepidolite are the dominant lithium minerals.
The first use of the cesium mined at Tanco, Manitoba is for cesium formate brines used for top strain, excessive temperature effectively drilling for oil and fuel. Cesium bromide is utilized in infrared detectors, optics, photoelectric cells, scintillation counters and spectrometers (USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2022). Cesium isotopes are utilized in atomic resonance frequency in customary atomic clocks which play a significant function in plane steerage programs, international positioning satellites and web and mobile phone transmissions (USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2022).
West Joe Dyke was found for its spodumene (Li) mineralization in August 2018 . Drilling on the Dyke result in the invention of cesium mineralization within the fall of 2018 with six drill holes intersecting pollucite in drill core (i.e., PWM-18-111, 112, 116, 123, 124 and 126). One of the best assay was 6.74 % Cs 2 O over 5.00 m , 11.00 to 16.00 m interval together with 14.70 % Cs 2 O over 1.00 m , 13.00 to 14.00 m interval from drill gap PWM-18-126 (PWM press launch dated Nov. 13 , 2018). Summer season 2022 drilling has intersected pollucite in 5 drill holes (i.e., PWM-22-128, 143, 144, 145 and 147). Cesium assays of 6.53 % Cs 2 O, 1.28 % Li 2 O and 324.0 ppm Ta over 1.0 m have been beforehand disclosed in a press launch dated Aug. 19, 2022 .
Energy Metals 2022 summer season drill program is for 5000 m and over 2700 m has been accomplished so far. This press launch studies assays acquired so far from drill holes PWM-22-141 to 147 on the West Joe Dyke. The aim of every drill gap was to infill on recognized mineralization to assist in a future useful resource estimate.

High quality Management
The drill core was sampled in order that 1 m of the Case Batholith tonalite host rock was sampled adopted by 1 m lengthy samples of the pegmatite dyke and 1 m of the Case Batholith. The sampling adopted lithology boundaries in order that just one lithology unit is inside a pattern, aside from the Cochrane by Energy Metals’ geologists. The core was ready at SGS Garson and analyzed at SGS Burnaby, British Columbia which has ISO 17025 certification. Each 20 samples included one exterior quartz clean, one exterior lithium customary and one core duplicate. The ore grade Li 2 O% was ready by sodium peroxide fusion with evaluation by ICP-OES with a detection restrict of 0.002 % Li 2 O. A High quality Management evaluate of the requirements, blanks and core duplicates indicated that all of them handed. The ore grade Cs 2 O% for > 10000 ppm Cs was ready by alkaline metallic digestion with evaluation by FAAS with a detection restrict of 0.002 % Cs. Ore grade cesium was analyzed by SGS Lakefield, Ontario which additionally has ISO 17025 certification.
