Patriot Discovers New Lithium Pegmatite Cluster On-Trend with the CV5 Pegmatite and Samples 3.73% Li2O, Corvette Property, Quebec
Highlights
Significant discovery of spodumene pegmatite outcropcluster (CV13) located approximately 4.3 km along trend to the southwest of the CV5-1 pegmatite corridor and current drill area
A total of thirty-one (31) spodumene-bearing pegmatite outcrops identified, including twenty (20) outcrops with estimated >5% modal spodumene content
Pegmatite outcrops extend over two (2) contiguous trends, totalling approximately 2.3 km in combined strike length and are situated on geological trend between the CV5-1 pegmatite corridor and the CV8-12 pegmatite cluster
Pegmatite outcrops are situated within the apex of a regional structural flexure, indicating a highly favourable geological setting for lithium pegmatite emplacement
Average lithium grade of 0.98% Li2O over thirty-two (32) pegmatite grab/chip samples analyzed to date, to maximum of 3.73% Li2O
Tantalum values ranging from <10 ppm to 948 ppm Ta2O5 (3.11% Li2O), and averaging 113 ppm Ta2O5
A total of 121.1 m of channel samples collected for more detailed assessment of lithium-tantalum mineralization over ten (10) outcrops
