Ditem: Lac Henri Rare Earth Exploration Program Underway
14 June 2011 - 10:30PM
Marketwired
Ditem Explorations (TSX VENTURE: DIT) is pleased to announce that
the summer exploration program on the Lac Henri property is now
underway. The June 2011 Lac Henri exploration program will cover
the rare earth showing discovered in 2009 and will consist of a
ground radiometric survey, prospecting and geological mapping as
well as trenching and sampling. A drill program is expected to
follow on the delineated mineralized zones.
The Lac Henri property consists of 65 claim cells covering a
total area of 3,435 hectares (100% Ditem owned) located in north
central Quebec, in the Otish Mountains region, approximately 350 km
northeast of Chibougamau. The property is totally underlain by
highly folded basement rocks of the Archean Superior Province
Epervanche Complex composed of a quartz-biotite-feldspar gneiss
with a migmatite complex intruded by younger granites and
pegmatites. The south border of the property is situated at
approximately two kilometres from the western edge of the Otish
Proterozoic Sedimentary Basin.
In 2009, prospecting programs and subsequent laboratory analysis
of outcrop samples taken on the rare earth showing located in the
north-eastern part of the property, revealed significant values in
rare earth elements. Rare earth mineralisation is associated with
Archean granitic gneiss and altered quartz-feldspar-biotite
granite.
Ditem Explorations is an exploration and development company
with properties in the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan (Beartooth
Island and Cree Lake), the Otish Basin (Otish Uranium and Lac
Henri) and on the North Shore near La Romaine (Lalande) in Quebec.
Drilling is planned on the Otish Uranium property to confirm
uranium mineralisation and initial programs are to be completed on
the Lac Henri and Lalande rare earth properties this summer.
