Greenlight Resources Inc. - Drilling confirms Spodumene mineralization at Brazil Lake Lithium and Rare Metal property
(PRZCF.OTCBB) (PH0.FRANKFURT) (TSXV.GR)
VANCOUVER, Sept. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - GREENLIGHT RESOURCES INC. (TSXV.GR), announces, that drilling is proceeding on the Brazil Lake Lithium and Rare Metal property in Nova Scotia. To date, fourteen cored holes have been drilled totalling 1,829 meters. A further 400 meters of drilling is anticipated in this phase one drilling program.
Pegmatite intersections containing spodumene mineralization of up to 11 meters over true width have been encountered in the current drilling program. Spodumene mineralization accounts for the lithium content within the pegmatites. We are currently awaiting assay results from this drill program.
The drilling is being carried out on the two previously identified pegmatite dikes with the bulk of the drilling targeting the North dike. The program is attempting to define the North dike down to the 125 meter level below surface and over a strike length of 150 meters. These holes will assist to define the geometry and grade of the North pegmatite dike. The second major target is the South dike which will receive approximately 560 meters in 5 holes to define the dike down to the -50 meter level.
On June 17, 2010, the Company filed a NI 43-101 compliant report on the Brazil Lake property. Approximately 30 holes were drilled by the property's previous private owners. Results indicated that cores returned Li(2)O grades of economic interest. More specifically, hole BZ-02-15 returned a weighted average Li(2)O grade of 1.47% over a true width of 12.53 meters, beginning at a down hole depth of 30.9 m, and BZ-93-4 returned a weighted average grade of 1.27% Li(2)O over 20.9 meters true width, beginning at a down hole depth of 47.1 meters. These intercepts and others contain sub-interval Li(2)O grades exceeding 2.5%.
Other Potential Rare Metals and Industrial Minerals
Prior work on the Brazil Lake pegmatites has also been directed toward definition of valuable mineral or metal components additional to lithium, and preliminary results show that potential exists for creation of industrial mineral products such feldspar, quartz and mica. The company is also investigating potential for recovery of rubidium, tantalum and tin from the pegmatites. On March 2nd, the Company announced assay results from drill holes which addressed other rare metals contained within the Brazil Lake pegmatites. These included rubidium ("Rb"), beryllium ("Be") and tantalum ("Ta"). Examples of the grades included Hole #02-15 in the lithium pegmatites which returned values up to 1,398 parts per million ("ppm") Rb over 15.3 meters including 2,625 ppm Rb over 4.2 meters. Hole #02-24 in the lithium pegmatites returned Be values of up to 200 ppm over 35.8 meters, including 304 ppm Be over 14.9 meters. Also, hole #93-2 in the lithium pegmatites returned Ta values of up to 102 ppm over 24 meters, including 541 ppm Ta over 1.0 meter. (One parts per million is equal to one gram per tonne)

About Greenlight Resources Inc.:
Greenlight Resources Inc. is a Canadian exploration company focused on the discovery and development of Lithium and rare metal deposits. The Company is currently focused on the 8,520 acre Brazil Lake property is located approximately 30 kilometres north of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, and 12 kilometres west of the Avalon Rare Metals (AVL) East Kemptville Project. Drilling to date has successfully revealed two Lithium bearing pegmatite dikes. In addition to Lithium, the dikes host several other rare metals such as tantalum, niobium, beryllium, tungsten tin and rubidium. Metallurgical bench testing to date has also revealed other potential economic targets, including cosmetic grade mica, silica chloride, aluminum chloride and rubidium enriched potassium feldspar.
