Marketwired
Ditem Explorations (TSX VENTURE: DIT) is pleased to announce that
it has obtained 162 map designated claims covering 8910 hectares
(89.1km(2)) in north-eastern Quebec along the North Shore
approximately 12 km northwest of La Romaine (the Lalande property).
The Lalande property is mainly underlain by calc-alkaline
granitic gneisses of the Aguanish Complex and minor amphibolites
and supracrustal units including arenaceous sediments,
volcaniclastic rocks, migmatized aluminous gneiss. These units are
cut by pink granitic intrusions and numerous pink pegmatite lenses.
Rare earth mineralisation is associated with pink biotite- and
monazite-rich quartz feldspar pegmatite within granitic
intrusions.
In 1967 and 1968, magnetic, radiometric and prospection surveys
were undertaken and numerous radiometric anomalies were noted. In
1988, SOQUEM completed an exploration program with sampling and
analysis and rare earth anomalous zones, including one zone with
grades up to 1.4% for La, Ce and Y, were identified and reported.
Ditem plans to undertake exploration work on the Lalande property
in early summer.
Anne-Laure Bonnet (Ph.D., Earth Sciences, INRS) has recently
joined Ditem Explorations. Doctor Bonnet has 10 years of experience
as a geologist and until recently worked as a geologist for AREVA
in Quebec and Labrador. She has also worked as a geologist for the
Geological Survey of Canada (GSC), notably on projects related to
the North Shore region where the Lalande property is situated.
Ditem Explorations is an exploration and development company
with properties in the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan (Beartooth
Island and Cree Lake) and the Otish Basin (Otish Uranium and Lake
Henri) in Quebec. Drilling is expected on the Otish Uranium
property to confirm extensions of the mineralised zone and a
program on the Lake Henri rare earth property is to be undertaken
shortly. Properties and general information may be viewed on the
Company's website at www.ditem.com.
