Winsome Resources announced initial assay results from its drill hole AD-22-005 and provide an update on its ongoing diamond drilling program at its 100 per cent-owned Adina project in Quebec, Canada. Despite initial delays in receiving assays due to high volumes being received by laboratories in Canada, the Company is satisfied assay results for drill hole AD-22-05, confirm previous visual estimates of lithium mineralisation. Assays received from the SGS Laboratory in Sudbury, Ontario, confirm the following significant lithium intercepts in drill hole AD-22-005: 1.34% Li2O over 107.6m from 2.3m to 109.9m, including: 1.52% Li2O over 20.7m from 2.3m to 23.0m; 2.21% Li2O over 30.0m from 41.0m to 71.0m; 1.05% Li2O over 26.5m from 71.0m to 97.5m; 0.96% Li2O over 6.9m from 103.0m to 109.9m; 0.70% Li2O over 52.1m from 124.9m to 177.0m, including: 1.08% Li2O over 30.0m from 147.0m to 177.0m.

As of 18 December 2022, the Company had completed 3,860m of NQ diamond core drilling across 20 holes with a large body of mineralised pegmatite being defined over a strike length of 550m, and down to 250m from surface. The mineralised pegmatite body presents an indicative average true thickness of approximately 50m, dipping down about 60 degrees in. This pegmatite body, identified as the Jamar prospect, remains open at depth and along strike, where it appears to follow a large and continuous gravity low anomaly, suggesting it could possibly extend further east and west by approximately 1km.

Numerous other gravity lows and target anomalies within the Adina project area remain to be tested throughout 2023. The helicopter supported drilling program at Adina has been extended significantly from an originally planned 5,000m to more than 20,000m. A second drill rig is currently being mobilised to site to assist with the expanded drilling and resource definition program.

Drilling teams finished work at Adina just prior to Christmas and will return to work in the week of 9 January 2023.
