Midas Minerals Ltd. announced assay results for the remaining 1,372 auger geochemical samples taken in late 2022 from its Newington Lithium-Gold Project in WA's
Goldfields region. Geochemical sampling, in conjunction with previously announced geochemical data, rock chip sampling and limited RC drilling, has further defined areas most prospective for lithium, with priority target zones extending over a combined 20km of strike. At least 174 of the recent auger geochemical results are considered anomalous in lithium, caesium, tantalum (LCT) or related indicator elements. Midas is awaiting results for a further 50 pegmatite samples.
In results for 76 non-lithium rock chip samples collected during pegmatite prospecting in 2022, a total of 21 samples assayed at greater than 0.1g/t gold and 11 assayed at between 0.5g/t and 7.7g/t gold,. Several groups of undrilled gold-bearing historic workings were discovered southeast of
the Newfield Mine; Midas will add these targets near historic workings to its priority list of areas for drilling.
