Apex Critical Metals Corp. Commences Field Work on Cap Project in British Columbia
![Apex Critical Metals Corp. Commences Field Work on Cap Project in British Columbia](https://www.minenportal.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
The ongoing activities entail prospecting, geological mapping, rock and soil sampling to confirm previously identified niobium mineralization in both historical surface samples and drilling. The exploration work is expected to outline areas prospective for follow-up drill testing.
Historical results include:
-
Large oval aeromagnetic anomaly, interpreted to correlated with a carbonatite igneous unit, that may be associated with a larger alkalic complex;
-
One outcrop sample and three boulder samples of carbonatite collected from within the aeromagnetic anomaly returned: 0.77% Nb2O5,3.38% Nb2O5, 0.96% Nb2O5, and 0.74% Nb2O5 respectively;
-
A single drill hole along the southeast margins of the anomaly from 2017 returned 0.51% Nb2O5 over 4.01m (Drill Hole CAP17-004).
The field exploration will be completed by Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd. of Edmonton, Alberta. Exploration activities are anticipated to last approximately three weeks and will expand upon a pre-existing soil grid that demonstrated niobium anomalies which correlated with the eastern margin of the known magnetic and radiometric anomaly. Field crews will continue to prospect near the previously identified carbonatite boulders and outcrops. Previously identified outcrop exposure was limited to drainage systems, with much of the Project area covered by thick soil profiles and/or glacial till.
There are approximately 600 carbonatite complexes known worldwide, with a very high ratio demonstrating significant enrichment in a variety of commodities including: Niobium, Tantalum, Rare Earth Elements, Phosphate, Copper, and Gold. Notable mines developed in carbonatite systems include: Araxa, Catalao I, Niobec, Bayan Obo, Mt Weld, Cargill, and Palabora.
