Rio Tinto Exploration Canada, a Canadian subsidiary of Rio Tinto Group, a leading global mining group, recently signed two option to joint venture agreements with Azimut Exploration for its wholly-owned Corvet and Kaanaayaa lithium properties, which are directly to the east and south of Victory’s Lac Block and Riviere Block. The agreements contemplate an aggregate value of up to CDN$115.7 million in expenditures and cash payments.

On July 30th, Patriot Battery Metals reported a maiden resource estimate at its Corvette Property, based only on its CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite, of 109.2 million tonnes at 1.42% lithium oxide in the inferred category. This resource was based on 163 core holes totalling 56,385 metres which outlined significant potential for growth at CV5, as it remains open at both ends along strike, and to depth along a significant portion of its length. On July 31st, Patriot entered into a subscription agreement for a private placement of approximately C$109 million from Albemarle Corporation.

Patriot Battery Metals’ CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite is considered the largest lithium pegmatite mineral resource in the Americas and the 8th largest globally.

Victory plans to focus on its Lac and Riviere Blocks with a team of up to 4 geologists and 4 technicians. In deploying a large team, the program can be conducted with the most efficient and cost-effective use of helicopter support, while it should be noted that timing is dependent on the resolution of extensive forest fires in the area.
