SnapshotIn 2024, Winsome Resources released a Scoping Study which determined Adina is one of the most capital efficient new lithium projects. Also Winsome Resources has submitted the Preliminary Information Statement for its Adina Lithium Mining Project (incorporating the existing and well maintained Renard Operation; together with the Project) with the Ministère de l’Environnement, de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs (MELCCFP).

The Company also has an exclusive option to acquire the nearby Renard Operation, located 60km from Adina. The former diamond mine has a convertible processing facility, existing permits and established infrastructure including roads, rail, and an airport. The Renard Operation has significant potential to support development of the Adina Lithium Project and the Company’s pathway towards production.

Deposit type

  • Pegmatite

Summary:

The mineralisation encountered at the Adina project is typical of a LithiumCaesium-Tantalum (LCT) type of pegmatite. The pegmatite body is oriented sub-parallel to the general strike of the host rocks. The host rocks are composed of Archean Lac Guyer greenstone rocks, which include mafic and ultramafic rocks interlayered with horizons of metasedimentary and felsic volcanic rocks.

Dimensions
The approximate dimensions of the Adina deposit as modelled is 2,300m east – west, 750m north-south, with drilling intersecting mineralisation to a depth of 350m below surface. The resource has been reported within the Adina claims and truncated at claim boundaries where intersected.
