First Vanadium (TSXV: FVAN) has extended its Carlin vanadium deposit in Nevada by 300 metres, or 15%, to the south with newly acquired historical data. The strike length of the deposit now totals more than 2.1 kilometres.<\/p>\n
The Carlin project is considered the largest, highest grade primary vanadium<\/a> deposit in North America.<\/p>\n Two historical holes and trenches completed by the property\u2019s previous owner, Union Carbide, in 1968 intersected vanadium outside the current resource.<\/p>\n The holes cut 0.91% vanadium pentoxide over 7 metres from 1.5 metres downhole and 0.51% vanadium pentoxide over 13.7 metres from 44 metres downhole. The two surface trenches graded 0.58% vanadium pentoxide over 15.2 metres and 0.76% vanadium pentoxide over 9.1 metres.<\/p>\n First Vanadium president and CEO Paul Cowley said the new information supported the project\u2019s potential for expansion in a prepared statement.<\/p>\n First Vanadium tabled an updated resource estimate for the project earlier in 2019. The project now contains 24.16 million indicated tonnes grading 0.615% vanadium pentoxide for 303 million lb. vanadium pentoxide as well as 6.5 million inferred tonnes at 0.51% vanadium pentoxide for 75 million lb. vanadium pentoxide.<\/p>\n The company has run metallurgical tests on nine composite samples from drill holes across the project containing oxidized and unoxidized material of varying grades. Preliminary test results have returned 92% to 98% extraction rates for all kinds of material.<\/p>\n (This article first appeared in The Northern Miner<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n The post First Vanadium extends length at Carlin deposit<\/a> appeared first on MINING.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Carlin project is considered the largest, highest grade primary vanadium deposit in North America.<\/p>\n The post First Vanadium extends length at Carlin deposit<\/a> appeared first on MINING.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[2049,404,369,428,410],"tags":[82],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/juniorminingnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1112537"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/juniorminingnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/juniorminingnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/juniorminingnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/juniorminingnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1112537"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/juniorminingnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1112537\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1112538,"href":"https:\/\/juniorminingnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1112537\/revisions\/1112538"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/juniorminingnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1112537"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/juniorminingnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1112537"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/juniorminingnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1112537"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
