VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 28, 2023 / Q Battery Metals (CSE:QMET)(OTC PINK:BTKRF)(FRA:0NB) is currently in the process of refining targets on their La Corne South Lithium Project located north of Val d'Or, Quebec. In particular, the geological team will remodel the company's 2021 drone-supported magnetics survey results and their 2022 deep penetrating electromagnetics survey results to better determine the presence of pegmatites on the property. Previous data interpretation has outlined high magnetic and conductive zones in search of massive sulphide deposits that have distinctly different geophysical characteristics from pegmatite bodies. The data will be re-modeled for geophysical attributes that better reflect pegmatites.
Q Battery Metals is also preparing to complete ground resistivity surveying over the highly interesting target area of the Boily Berubé mineral showing which has been described as white feldspar and quartz veins with molybdenite and bismuth. The documented lithium showings on the margins of the La Corne batholith often have associated molybdenum indicated in the mineralization summary. As well, the North American Lithium deposit is described as containing molybdenite and bismuthinite. The presence of these elements at the Boily Berubé mineral showing is now considered good indicators for lithium. QMET's geological team is preparing to prospect, map and sample the Boily Berubé showing and the La Corne Batholith margins to analyze for lithium content. The current geophysical survey remodeling and proposed resistivity survey will assist in determining the location of lithium-bearing pegmatites in that region of the property.
Nine lithium projects are located within 20 kilometres (km) of the La Corne South project, including North American Lithium (NAL) mine (Sayona Mining-Piedmont Lithium Joint Venture). The projects are located on the periphery of the La Corne granitic batholith, an area that is highly prospective for pegmatite lithium mineralization. Sayona has successfully produced their first saleable spodumene concentrate of 1,200 tonnes with 6% lithium grade (Sayona March 8, 2023 News Release). Sayona has announced plans for continued drilling at both their NAL project and the adjoining Vallée Lithium property. More than 50,000 metres of drilling are planned (Sayona release March 7, 2023).
