Tantalex Announces Drilling Has Begun at Buckell Lithium Property

TORONTO and MUNICH, Germany, March 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TANTALEX Resources Corporation (CSE: TTX) (FSE: 1T0) (“TANTALEX” or the “Corporation”), is pleased to announce that a Phase 1 drilling program has begun at its Buckell Lithium project, located in the Manono-Kitotolo region of the DRC. This first phase of drilling consisting of 2,000 metres will be targeting the northeastern part of the property that lies on strike with the Kitotolo pegmatite. In previous exploration work including sampling and pitting, results confirmed positive identification of pegmatite extensions below the soil cover. Additionally, this northeastern portion of the property has also shown presence of black tourmaline, cassiterite and mica, all of which are common within the Kitotolo pegmatite located on the adjacent property to the NE. Drilling of the 2,000 metres should proceed over the next two months, and a second Phase drilling program will be planned based on the first round of results.

Dave Gagnon, Chief Executive Officer explains, “This is a turning point moment for Tantalex. We have spent the last several weeks mobilizing teams, equipment and drill rigs, which at times has proven a logistical challenge. As we have been part of the region’s successful exploration to date, we are excited about what we think our results will uncover, as we drill along strike of the neighboring Kitotolo pegmatite.”
