York Harbour Metals Receives Drilling Permit for High Priority Targets at Bottom Brook Rare Earth Project
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 2, 2023) - York Harbour Metals Inc. (TSXV: YORK) (OTCQB: YORKF) (FSE: 5DE0) ("York Harbour" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received government approvals that allow the Company to immediately commence a core drilling program on its 100%-owned Bottom Brook property located near Stephenville, Newfoundland and Labrador.
The Company announced on July 31st that initial fieldwork had discovered a new zone of high-grade rare earth element ("REE") mineralization 750 metres south-southwest of the historic U3 REE zone. The program also confirmed high grade surface samples near the U3 occurrence.
Grab samples collected from BB and U3 REE showings returned TREO values ranging from 0.07 to 22.3%. High-grade sample 116575 from the U3 showing included very high concentrations of magnetic rare earth elements neodymium, praseodymium, terbium, and dysprosium ("Nd, Pr, Tb, and Dy") also known as ("magnet REE's" or "MRE's). Sample 116575 contained total MREs of 5.00 (50kg/t MRE).
