New Zeolite Source: BC Ministry Of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources Issues New Mine Permit
Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Ashburton Ventures Inc. (ABR-TSX:V) (ARB-FRANKFURT) (“Ashburton” or the "Company”) is pleased to announce that ZMM Canada Minerals Corp. has received authorization to quarry a one thousand metric ton zeolite bulk sample on the TransCanada Zeolite property. Ashburton currently has an option to acquire a 100% interest in the TransCanada Zeolite property.
The Mine Permit allows the company to construct access roads, establish a quarry, remove and stockpile the bulk sample and crush on the site located near Kamloops off Duck Range Road, three kilometers east of Highway #97. Work will commence in October of 2017.
The TransCanada Zeolite property contains volcanic rocks of the Kamloops and Penticton Groups where zeolites can occur and occupy over 50 percent of the rock volume. ZMM has the technology to separate the zeolites from the flow rock as required. The zeolites identified to date are Mordenite, Stilbite, Analcime and Phillipsite. This will potentially expand Ashburton’s capacity to deliver zeolite products and create new opportunities for product development.
Market testing and development for a wide range of applications in horticulture, agriculture, construction, environmental and advanced materials programs is ongoing.
LuVerne Hogg, CEO of ZMM Canada Minerals Corp. said, “The development of this zeolite occurrence will be a first for North America, which will enable technological advances in zeolite applications.”
