Patriot Battery Metals discovers significant spodumene-bearing pegmatite at CV9 in Quebec

Patriot Battery Metals Inc., in a significant development, announced the preliminary results of its first drill program at the CV9 Spodumene Pegmatite within its wholly owned Corvette Property, situated in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec. The CV9 site, located near the Trans-Taiga Road and powerline infrastructure, revealed promising results with wide intervals of spodumene-bearing pegmatite in multiple drill holes.

Implications of CV9 Spodumene Pegmatite for Lithium Exploration

Vice President of Exploration, Darren L. Smith, highlighted the potential of these findings. Although core assays are pending, the apparent continuous presence of spodumene over significant lengths, especially in drill hole CV23-345, indicates a promising scale for the pegmatite. This discovery could have substantial implications for the lithium market, given the increasing demand for lithium in battery production.

Future Prospects of Patriot’s Corvette Property in Lithium Market

The CV9 Pegmatite discovery showcases a potential lithium resource, with a pegmatite strike length of approximately 450 meters, and remains open for further exploration. Preliminary geological modelling suggests a significant thickening of the pegmatite at certain locations. The scale and depth of the pegmatite at CV9 bear similarities to the CV5 Pegmatite, underscoring the potential for a major lithium resource. This development positions the Corvette Property and Patriot Battery Metals at the forefront of lithium exploration in Canada.

This discovery by Patriot Battery Metals Inc. at the Corvette Property in Quebec marks a notable advancement in lithium exploration, reflecting the growing importance of lithium resources in the global market.
