Augustus
Lithium Property Highlights
·
The Property is a part
of the Preissac – Lacorne pegmatite fields where spodumene bearing lithium
pegmatites were discovered in 1940s’. It has excellent infrastructure support
with road network, railway, electricity, water, and trained manpower available
locally.
·
Geologically the Preissac-Lacorne area lies within a
belt of volcanic and sedimentary rocks intruded to the north by LaMotte
batholiths and to the south by the Preissac batholiths and Moly Hill pluton.
·
There are several historical and currently active
lithium and molybdenum prospects/mines located approximately 3 km to 20 km from
the Property. Some of the important prospects/mines are: Mine Quebec Lithium
which was formerly owned by RB Energy, Authier Lithium owned by Sayona Mining
of Australia, Valor Lithium, Duval Lithium, Lacorne Lithium, International
Lithium, Vallee Lithium, and Moly Hill Mine. All these projects / prospects are
at various stages of exploration and development, out of which Mine Quebec
Lithium is the most advanced project followed by Authier lithium project. Total
lithium resources for this region are over 50 million tonnes at 1% lithium
oxide out of which Mine Quebec Lithium has 32 MT at 1.19%Li2O Measured plus
Indicated (M+I), Authier has 17.18 million tonnes at 1.01% Li2O (M+I) are the
most significant.
·
There are two prominent lithium prospects
prospect (Augustus and Canadian Lithium) and one silver on the property which
have been explored intermittently sine 1948. Highlights of the Augustus lithium
prospect are discussed below. The Company is in the process of compiling data
on the other two prospects and will release as soon as possible.
Augustus Lithium Prospect
·
The Augustus pegmatite
was explored in 1955 by trenching followed by diamond drilling. The pegmatite
is oriented N30°W, extending more than 850 meters along strike with 7.6 meters
in average width. Its depth extension is not fully known yet, however previous
drilling has intersected high-grade lithium down to 682 feet (207 m). Lithium
mineralization is confined to the pegmatite body with an average grade of 1.12%
lithium oxide (Li2O) (0.52% Li) across a width of 7.6. meters (Source: Géologie Québec - Results of the query
(gouv.qc.ca)).
·
The highlights of the
previous drilling results include:1.69% Li2O over 9 feet (2.74m), 1.25% Li2O
over 27.5 feet (8.38m), 1.07% Li2O over 20 feet (6.1m), 1.66% Li2O over 12.5
feet (3.8m), and 1.41% Li2O over 27 feet (8.23m) (see Table 1 below) (Source Report
GM03952).
·
Based on the 1955
drilling results, the continuity of lithium mineralization is established
between all drill holes for over 850 meters strike length down to a depth of
207 m (682 feet) of the Augustus pegmatite body (see Table 1 below). If mineralization
continuity can be proven by future drilling down to over 200 meters level as
shown in historical drill hole results, a potential resource target of 4
million tonnes at 1% Li2O can be achieved.
Cautionary Statement: Investors are
cautioned that the potential quantity and grade mentioned above is conceptual
in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource
and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being
delineated as a mineral resource. The potential target is based upon historical
drilling results taken from report GM03952 (April 27, 1956) and other sources
from MRNF Quebec.

Canadian
Lithium Prospect
·
The Canadian lithium
prospect is a worked deposit located in Range 1 lot 25-26 in the Landrienne
Township at G.P.S 284861 E - 5368288 N. The main outcrop was discovered in 1948
near the boundary line separating the Landrienne and Lacorne Townships. A group
of parallel pegmatite dykes associated with Lacorne Batholith contains
aggregates of spodumene, lepidolite, quartz and feldspar accompanied by traces
of beryl, clevelandite, colombo-tantalite.
·
Drilling at the
prospect have shown low grade lithium bearing pegmatite intersections of
extensive widths. A total of 11 historical drill holes are located on this
prospect. The Company is in the process of compiling historical drilling data
on this prospect and will release as soon as possible (Source Reports GM03952
and GM00744).
Cautionary Statement: Investors are
cautioned that the above information and the information on the adjacent
properties is taken from the publicly available sources. The Company has not
