Patriot Drills 70.1 m of 2.22% Li2O including an interval 40.7 m of 3.01% Li2O in First Drill Hole to Test the CV1 Pegmatite at the East End of the Winter Drilling Corridor at the Corvette Property, Quebec
Highlights
Strongest lithium grades to date returned from drilling at the Property in first hole (CV22-017) to test the CV1 Pegmatite
3.01% Li2O and 160 ppm Ta2O5 over 40.7 m within a wider zone of 2.22% Li2O and 147 ppm Ta2O5 over 70.1 m. The interval includes,
Nine (9) samples assaying >4% Li2O to a peak of 6.35% Li2O over 0.92 m.
Five (5) samples assaying >400 ppm Ta2O5 to a peak of 1,120 ppm Ta2O5 over 1.0 m.
Drill hole targeted the CV1 Pegmatite, located approximately 1.1 km northeast of and on trend with the CV5 Pegmatite.
Geological modelling indicates the mineralized intercept in hole CV22-017 (70.1 m) is part of the main pegmatite body trending through the CV5-1 Pegmatite corridor.
Core assays for additional fifteen (15) drill holes from the winter/spring program remain to be reported.
The summer/fall drill program will resume in early June to progress the infill drilling of the CV5-1 Pegmatite corridor with two drill rigs, including follow-up of the high-grade zone returned at CV22-017. The drilling will further test the mineralized trend along strike, which is currently open to the east, west, and at depth.
