Lepidico - Drilling tees up Q3/Q4 mineral resource estimates

In a busy Q3, Lepidico (LPD) has announced two sets of drilling results from Alvarrões in Portugal, one set from Lemare in Quebec and the conclusion of a farm-in deal in Western Australia. Edison estimates that the Alvarrões drilling results are indicative of a resource in the order of 0.7-2.3Mt of mineralised material at a grade of 1.10-1.13% Li2O, with an in-situ value (upon achieving JORC-compliance) of US$0.5-1.6m. Note that formal mineral resource estimates are expected from both Alvarrões and Separation Rapids in September or October 2017.
