Patriot Battery Metals Announces Mobilization of Drill Rig to the Corvette-FCI Property, James Bay Region, Quebec, Canada - Seite 2
The CV Lithium Trend is an emerging spodumene pegmatite district discovered by the Company in 2017 and spans the FCI West, FCI East, and Corvette claim blocks. The core area includes an approximate 2 km long corridor of numerous spodumene pegmatite occurrences, highlighted by the CV5 Pegmatite - a large (~220 m long and 20-40 m wide), well-mineralized outcrop where eight samples collected average 3.00% Li2O and 154 ppm Ta2O5, including a peak assay of 4.06% Li2O and 564 ppm Ta2O5. The high number of well-mineralized pegmatites in this core area of the trend indicates a strong potential for a series of relatively closely spaced/stacked, sub-parallel, and sizable spodumene-bearing pegmatite bodies, with significant lateral and depth extent, to be present. The CV Lithium Trend, including the CV5 pegmatite, has never been drill tested.
Upon completion of the planned 2021 work programs, the Company expects to have earned a 50% interest in the FCI East and West claim blocks from O3 Mining Inc., having exceeded the minimum $2.25M in exploration expenditures. Under the terms of the Option Agreement, the Company may acquire an additional 25% interest in the FCI East and West claim blocks, for a collective 75% interest, by funding the next $2M in exploration expenditures.
The Company notes that it has developed a COVID Management Plan for the program and will carry out its field programs while adhering to all federal, provincial, and regional restrictions in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Mineral exploration has been recognized as an essential service in Canada and the Province of Quebec.
