Brazil Lake Lithium and Rare Earth Metals Project in Nova Scotia

Exploration to date on the Property has successfully revealed two of the richest Lithium bearing pegmatite dikes in North America, in addition to a host other rare earth metals such as tantalum, niobium, beryllium, tungsten tin and rubidium. Other potential economic targets include cosmetic grade mica, silica chloride, aluminum chloride and rubidium enriched potassium feldspar. The Property is accessible by nearby paved roads on the east and west with an all weather cross road. Power lines are also accessible from the paved roads and within one kilometer of the pegmatites.

Petro Horizon Energy Corp. (TSXV.PHE) (PRZCF.OTCBB) (PH0.FRANKFURT), is pleased to announce that the Company has executed a Letter of Intent (“LOI”), dated February 5th, 2010, with Champlain Mineral Ventures Ltd (“Champlain”), a private Nova Scotia based corporation, to earn up to a 75% undivided ownership interest in the Brazil Lake Lithium Rare Earth Property (“Property”) in southern Nova Scotia.

Brazil Lake Property (Lithium and Rare Earths Metals)

The Property consists of two exploration licenses having 36 claims and 43 claims respectively covering 3,160 acres. It is located approximately 30 Kilometers north of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia and 12 kilometers west of the Avalon Rare Metals (AVL) East Kemptville Project – Exploration to date on the Property has successfully revealed two of the richest Lithium bearing pegmatite dikes in North America, in addition to a host other rare earth metals such as tantalum, niobium, beryllium, tungsten tin and rubidium. Other potential economic targets include cosmetic grade mica, silica chloride, aluminum chloride and rubidium enriched potassium feldspar. The Property is accessible by nearby paved roads on the east and west with an all weather cross road. Power lines are also accessible from the paved roads and within one kilometer of the pegmatites.

The primary exploration and development target on the Property has been Lithium which is found in the pegmatites. The pegmatite found at Brazil Lake is enriched in rare-metal –elements including lithium, rubidium, beryllium, tantalum and tungsten and it is at present the only known occurrence of its type in Nova Scotia. Champlain’s drilling results to date have identified two lithium and rare earth metal bearing pegmatite dikes that appear at surface and are up to 20 meters wide and having exposed lengths up to 300 meters long. The deepest drill hole intersected the dikes at 50 meters depth. Both pegmatites remain open at depth and future drilling will attempt to extend the depth of the dikes to 100 or 150 meters. Three other potential pegmatites have been indicated through geochemical surveys. Further geochem surveys, exploration and subsequent drilling are planned to define other pegmatite dikes on the property indicated by pegmatite float fields.

Lithium on the property is hosted by the mineral spodumene which makes up approximately 14 to 20% of the pegmatites. Lithium bearing spodumene crystals up to one meter in length were initially discovered in the south pegmatite. The maximum lithium oxide Li2O) content in the spodumene is approximately7.4% to 7.7% making it one of the highest grade lithium discoveries in North America.

In 2003 a 50 ton bulk sample was extracted from the South pegmatite and crushed at a local aggregate quarry. A portion of the crushed pegmatite processed through a pilot plant at Dalhousie University via flotation was to separate the spodumene, mica and feldspars. The process was very successful. Further metallurgical studies will also focus on separating the potassium and sodium feldspars. The potassium feldspar is also a very valuable byproduct, due its enrichment in rubidium, and is used in ceramic, glass and porcelain industries as it lowers the melting temperature making these products easier to work and cheaper to process. Part of the company’s overall plan will be for the Company to build and implement a Pilot plant once definition drilling is completed. Approximately $1,000,000 has been spent by Champlain and associates on exploration and metallurgy to date.

According to a recent article in the National post dated Thursday January 21 2010 Overall demand for lithium is increasing at an annual rate of 7 per cent; demand for the mineral is increasing 35 per cent annually for use in batteries. This is driven by automakers moving toward electrifying their electric vehicles to meet the rigid emissions standards set by governments around the globe.
