~Company initiates preliminary assessment of newly optioned properties in James Bay~
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 10, 2024 / Discovery Lithium Inc. (CSE:DCLI)(OTCQB:DCLIF)(FRA:Q3Q0)(WKN:A3EFKA) (the "Company" or "Discovery Lithium"), a Canadian exploration company focused on advancing domestic energy freedom through regional lithium discovery, is pleased to provide the following summary of its upcoming 2024 exploration program in the province of Quebec.
2024 Lithium Exploration
Discovery Lithium has contracted Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd. ("Dahrouge") to complete a data compilation on the newly optioned West James Bay property portfolio, which includes the Mantle, Cirrus East, Cirrus West, Neptune, Alto, Opus and Bruce Lake projects located within the James Bay Region (See press release dated June 6, 2024). This initiative focuses on assessing the Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum ("LCT") pegmatite potential, while also evaluating other commodities such as gold. The resulting study will guide future exploration efforts and prioritize potential prospects across these properties. Dahrouge, a related party of DG Resource Management, the vendor of the projects, has a proven track record having previously identified, acquired, and advanced the Corvette Property to Patriot Battery Metals.
In addition to the data compilation, Dahrouge will conduct ground-truthing surface exploration. This program will likely include prospecting, mapping, and sampling, and may incorporate other exploration techniques such as airborne magnetic surveys, till sampling, and LiDAR.
Discovery Lithium President and CEO Mr. Michael Gheyle commented, "We are thrilled to commence this property evaluation with Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd. This study will lay the groundwork for our 2024 exploration campaign on our newly optioned West James Bay portfolio."
Project Portfolio
Mantle and Bruce Lake Project(s): Situated within the Yasinski Lake Greenstone Belt, the Mantle Project aligns with several significant lithium discoveries. Spanning 5049 hectares (~12476 acres) across 89 claims in the James Bay area, Quebec, the project is adjacent to recent LCT Pegmatite discoveries of Q2 Metals Corp and Ophir Gold Corp. This under-explored region has seen a surge in LCT Pegmatite exploration, with several active exploration projects within the area. Bruce Lake lies immediately north of Q2 Metals Corp. Mia Project, where recent drilling identified several spodumene bearing pegmatites.
Cirrus East Project: The Cirrus East Project, less than 3 km from newly discovered Spodumene-bearing pegmatites, comprises 44 claims across 2252 hectares (~5565 acres) within the James Bay area. The easternmost claims are in close proximity to the Cancet West lithium pegmatite discovery of Fin Resources Ltd. (ASX) and approximately 15 km from the Warhawk Pegmatite of James Bay Minerals (ASX).
Cirrus West Project: Comprising 333 claims across 16953 hectares (~41892 acres) within the James Bay area, the Cirrus West Project is proximal to several known lithium occurrences, including the Warhawk Pegmatite. The project is underlain by favourable host lithology, including metasediments and metavolcanics of the Lac Guyer greenstone belt.
Neptune Project: Known for its anomalous lithium in stream/sediment samples, the Neptune Project consists of 78 claims across 4009 hectares (~9906 acres) within the James Bay area. The region hosts several tourmaline-bearing pegmatites and is home to notable lithium explorers such as Azimut Exploration Inc. and Brunswick Exploration Inc.
Alto Project: Situated less than 10 km from recent pegmatite discoveries, the Alto Project comprises 79 claims across 4136 hectares (~10221 acres) within the James Bay area. The project is west of Ophir Gold Corps Pilipas Project and Quebec Precious Metals newly discovered Ninaaskumuwin spodumene pegmatite, which is described as a 175-meter long by 42-meter wide outcrop.
Opus Project: Located just north of Lebel-sur Quevillon village, the Opus Project consists of 61 claims across 3413 hectares (~8434 acres) within the James Bay area. The project is within a short distance of the 1055 road and is crossed by a forest path. Historical geochemical data show 18 lithium anomalies up to 963 ppm within and near the property.
