Patriot Expands Land Position on the Corvette Trend
Patriot Battery Metals Inc. expands its land position at the Corvette Property through the acquisition of a proximal claim block from Azimut Exploration Inc. The acquisition includes 39 claims located in Quebec, enhancing the company's exploration potential for lithium, cesium, and tantalum. The deal involves a cash payment of $500,000, issuance of 150,000 common shares to Azimut, and a 2% net smelter returns royalty interest. The completion is pending TSX approval.
Patriot Battery Metals Inc. increases its land position at the Corvette Property, enhancing its exploration potential for valuable minerals like lithium, cesium, and tantalum.
The acquisition of the proximal claim block from Azimut Exploration Inc. allows Patriot to further develop its resources and strengthen its presence in the region.
The completion of the acquisition is contingent upon approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange, which could introduce delays or potential complications.
Issuance of 150,000 common shares to Azimut as part of the deal may lead to shareholder dilution, affecting existing investors' equity.
Patriot Battery Metals Inc. (the "Company" or "Patriot") (TSX: PMET) (ASX: PMT) (OTCQX: PMETF) (FSE: R9GA) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive agreement to increase its land position at its Corvette Property through the acquisition from Azimut Exploration Inc. ("Azimut") (TSXV: AZM) (OTCQX: AZMTF) of a
Darren L. Smith, Vice President of Exploration for the Company, comments: "The Acquisition is an excellent addition to our Corvette land holdings. The Claim Block overlies a prospective structural corridor and regional contact along geological trend of the CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite. We look forward to including this new ground in our 2024 summer field work programs."
The JBN57 Claim Block is situated immediately adjacent to the north of the Company's eastern claim block at Corvette (Figure 1). The JBN57 claims cover a local structural corridor and regionally mapped northern contact of the greenstone belt that hosts the CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite. The Company believes there is a strong Li-Cs-Ta pegmatite exploration potential over the new Claim Block and is a very complementary addition to the Corvette Property.
Terms of the Acquisition
Pursuant to a property purchase agreement between the Company and Azimut, Patriot has agreed to acquire a
- an aggregate cash payment of
$500,000 - an aggregate of 150,000 common shares in the capital of the Company ("Patriot Shares") to be issued to Azimut upon Closing.
As additional consideration for the Acquisition, the Company will grant to Azimut a
The completion of the Acquisition is subject to the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"). The Patriot Shares to be issued on Closing will be subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day following Closing. No finder's fees or commissions were paid in connection with the acquisition.
The CV Lithium Trend is an emerging spodumene pegmatite district discovered by the Company in 2017 and is interpreted to span more than 50 kilometres across the Corvette Property. The core area includes the approximate 4.6 km long CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite, which hosts a maiden mineral resource estimate of 109.2 Mt at
To date, eight (8) distinct clusters of lithium pegmatite have been discovered across the Corvette Property – CV4, CV5, CV8, CV9, CV10, CV12, CV13, and the recently discovered CV14. Given the proximity of some pegmatite outcrops to each other, as well as the shallow till cover in the area, it is probable that some of the outcrops may reflect a discontinuous surface exposure of a single, larger pegmatite "outcrop" subsurface.
