Exploration Update
The Company is pleased to announce that it has mobilized its geological team to its Senneville Project located in Quebec for the execution of an outcrops sampling and mapping program as part of its strategy to pursue the lithium potential on the western part of its claims, in particular where volcanosedimentary rocks are in contact with the La Corne Batholith.
This area is of particular interest as it is in close proximity to the North American Lithium deposit which has proven and probable reserve of 17.06 Mt grading 0.94% Li2O and measured and indicated resources of 33.24 Mt grading 1.19% Li2O (http://na-lithium.com/projects) and near an area undergoing intense exploration by many other juniors including Great Thunder Gold, which recently reported 1.48% Li2O over 12.7 metres and 1.16% Li2O over 9.8 metres in drilling completed earlier this year.
The program will build on the recently completed Beep Mat survey that was carried out by Magnor Exploration Inc. Beep Mat Surveys are a geophysical method used to detect the magnetic susceptibility and relative Electromagnetic (EM) conductivity along with GPS location in order to identify potential underlying conductors.
Deepak Varshney, P.Geo., President and CEO, commented, “We are very excited to commence exploration on our western claims as we move forward as a battery-metals focused explorer. We see a tremendous opportunity at Senneville West and this sampling program is only our initial step as we move towards a drilling campaign in 2022 that will be guided by a systematic approach following extensive mapping and sampling to maximize value for our shareholders.”
