March 11, 2010 Canadian Orebodies Samples Up To 3.66% Li20 And Other High Grade Lithium/Rare Metals | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
TORONTO, March 11, 2010 - Canadian Orebodies Inc. (TSXV: CO) ("Orebodies") is pleased to announce assay results from grab samples taken from 5 of its Lithium/Rare Metals properties all located in Ontario. The properties are owned 100% by Orebodies (subject to a 2% NSR, 50% of which can be purchased by Orebodies for $1,000,000). Highlights
Grab samples collected during Orebodies work program late last year have yielded high grade lithium from 3 of Orebodies lithium/rare metals properties. Results from the work done on the properties indicate there are several zones of strong lithium enrichment which contain significant quantities of rare metals (rubidium, tantalum, beryllium, niobium, cesium and gallium). Gordon Mckinnon, President and CEO commented "We are very encouraged by these initial assays from our grab samples and are anxious to begin a work program this spring to follow up on these results". Orebodies is in the process of compiling further assay results which are being received from channel sampling that was also completed on the Falcon Property and will be released upon completion. About the Properties: Falcon lake and Despard Property: The Falcon Lake property (60 claim units) and the Despard property (16 claim units) are both located in the general area of Linear Metals Corp. (TSX: LRM) Seymour Lake Lithium/Tantalum/Beryllium Property, approximately 60 km northeast of Armstrong, Ontario. TABLE 1 - ASSAYS FOR FALCON LAKE PROPERTY
TABLE 2 - ASSAYS FOR DESPARD LAKE PROPERTY
Greenbush Property: The Greenbush property consists of 15 claim units and is located approximately 113 km northwest of Armstrong, Ontario in a relatively unexplored area. TABLE 3 - ASSAYS FOR GREENBUSH LAKE PROPERTY
Assay results for Vegan and Niemi South property The Vegan and Niemi South properties are both located approximately 150 km northeast of Thunder Bay in an area which is host to numerous known Lithium deposits and REE bearing pegmatites including those held by Lithium One Inc. (TSXV: LI) and TNR Gold Corp. (TSXV: TNR). Access was difficult to these properties and the historic deposits were not located in the short time the exploration crew had before snow cover ended the possibility of further surface mapping and sampling. However, 20 grab samples were taken from the properties which yielded anomalous values of Li20 and other rare metals. More work is planned on these properties in the spring which will consist of further mapping and sampling to locate and verify the historic deposits indicated in the Ontario Department of Mines, Geological Report No. 31, Georgia Lake Area, by E.G. Pye, 1965. All samples were submitted to ALS and analyzed using four acid digestion and ICP-AES and ICP-MS. For more information on assay methodology please visit the ALS Laboratory Group.
