The Company has successfully resumed its mineral exploration and development programs as of early August 2023, as the wildfires in the region gradually abate.

Key Points: 
  • The Company has successfully resumed its mineral exploration and development programs as of early August 2023, as the wildfires in the region gradually abate.
  • This includes on-site community engagement, environmental baseline field work, camp construction, road access upgrades, surface exploration, and core drilling.
  • However, access by road has been limited due to ongoing wildfires over 200 km to the west and south of the Property.
  • A total of four (4) drill rigs are currently active on site with additional drill rigs planned to arrive on site and commence operations shortly.

Osisko holds a sliding scale net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty of 1.5-3.5% on precious metals, and 2.0% on all other products, including Lithium, at Corvette.

Key Points: 
  • Osisko holds a sliding scale net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty of 1.5-3.5% on precious metals, and 2.0% on all other products, including Lithium, at Corvette.
  • Osisko estimates that a large majority (~80-95%) of the CV5 MRE falls on its 2.0% Lithium NSR royalty area (Figure 1).
  • In addition, Osisko would like to further congratulate Patriot on its subsequently announced C$109 million strategic equity investment (“Strategic Investment”) by Albemarle Corporation (“Albemarle”).
  • The proceeds from the Strategic Investment will be used to accelerate the development activities at Corvette and for general corporate purposes.

Prospectair Geosurveys of Gatineau, Quebec, is carrying out the airborne surveys.

Key Points: 
  • Prospectair Geosurveys of Gatineau, Quebec, is carrying out the airborne surveys.
  • The heliborne magnetic and radiometric survey will acquire detailed information over the properties, using 50-metre line spacing covering a total of 2,257-line kilometres.
  • The tight line spacing is an important factor in interpreting structures and rock formations, especially where rocks are not outcropping.
  • There are lithium pegmatite occurrences in this area that will be investigated during MAX Power’s upcoming field program.

Thursday, May 11, 2023

Prospecting will also be launched on the larger PLEX project, with over 120 untested pegmatite outcrops have been identified through compilation.

Key Points: 
  • Prospecting will also be launched on the larger PLEX project, with over 120 untested pegmatite outcrops have been identified through compilation.
  • These anomalies suggest local alteration from an influx of lithium-bearing fluids
    Following the prospecting campaigns, results may warrant drilling and stripping programs in H2/2023.
  • Following prospecting at Hanson Lake, crews will continue truck and boat-supported prospecting on other BRW claim holdings.
  • This additional ground includes over 45 pegmatites between 500 and 11,500 meters that have not been assessed for lithium.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Patriot Battery Metals Inc. (the “Company” or “Patriot”) (TSX-V: PMET) (OTCQB: PMETF) (FSE: R9GA) is pleased to provide an update on the 2022 surface exploration program at the Corvette Property (the ‘Property’) highlighted by the discovery of a new and significant lithium pegmatite cluster (CV13) situated less than 4.5 km from, and on geological trend with, the CV5-1 pegmatite corridor where drilling is currently focused. The new discovery is located central to the Property and approximately 15 km south of the Trans-Taiga all-weather road and powerline infrastructure corridor.

Key Points: 
  • The CV13 pegmatites are situated directly on trend between the CV5-1 pegmatite corridor being actively drilled and the CV8 pegmatite, which remains to be drill tested.
  • The CV13 lithium pegmatite cluster is defined by two (2) contiguous trends, totalling approximately 2.3 km in combined strike length (Figure 1).
  • Additionally, the Company is actively permitting drill holes for initial drill testing along the CV13 pegmatite trend.
  • Figure 1: Location of the CV13 lithium pegmatite cluster, along trend of the CV5-1 lithium pegmatite corridor and the CV8-12 lithium pegmatite cluster

Wednesday, June 29, 2022

The summer phase of the 2022 drill campaign began in early June with two diamond drill rigs currently operating on site.

Key Points: 
  • The summer phase of the 2022 drill campaign began in early June with two diamond drill rigs currently operating on site.
  • To date (since the end of the winter drill program), nine (9) NQ size drill holes (CV22-035 through 043) have been completed for a total of approximately 3,111 m (Figure 1).
  • Drill holes CV22-036, 038, 040, and 043 targeted the interpreted pegmatite extension between the CV5 and CV6 pegmatite outcrops.
  • The surface mapping will allow for more accurate geological modelling of the drill area, as well as enable refinement to drill hole targeting.

Key Points: 
  • Highlights follow (see Figure 1):
    New lithium pegmatite discovery CV12 eleven (11) outcrop samples ranged from nil to >5.0% Li2O, averaging 2.81% Li2O.
  • Further, the pegmatites in the CV8-CV12 area host considerable tantalum, including an exceptionally high-grade core sample of 5,300 ppm Ta2O5.
  • In 2019, a single sample of pegmatite was collected in the area and returned a modest 0.27% Li2O and 55 ppm Ta2O5.
  • Based on location within the overall CV Lithium Trend, and potential pegmatite identified from satellite imagery, the area was revisited in 2021.
