Patriot Battery Metals has announced an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the Shaakichiuwaanaan Lithium Project, consolidating CV5 and CV13 spodumene pegmatites. The updated MRE includes 80.1 Mt at 1.44% Li2O and 163 ppm Ta2O5 indicated, and 62.5 Mt at 1.31% Li2O and 147 ppm Ta2O5 inferred, making it the largest lithium pegmatite resource in the Americas and the 8th largest globally.
The project shows significant growth potential as both CV5 and CV13 remain open along strike and at depth. The company plans to provide a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) by the end of Q3 2024 and aims for a Feasibility Study by Q3 2025.
The MRE highlights a substantial portion of the resources now classified as indicated, enhancing the project's credibility. The site is accessible year-round and strategically located near key infrastructure. Ongoing infill drilling and exploration are set to further upgrade resources and support future development.
Patriot Battery Metals (TSX: PMET) announced a significant Exploration Target for its Shaakichiuwaanaan Lithium Project in Quebec, Canada. The target outlines 146 to 231 Mt at 1.0 to 1.5% Li2O, highlighting the project's potential for additional tonnage. This is in addition to the recently announced Mineral Resource Estimate.
Key points:
- Exploration Target considers only the CV Lithium Trend and proximal areas
- Completed by independent consultant BBA Engineering
- Based on extensive data including surface samples, outcrop mapping, drill holes, and geophysical surveys
- Potential quantity and grade are conceptual; further exploration required to define a Mineral Resource
The company plans to test the Exploration Target through future drilling programs starting in 2025.
Patriot Battery Metals Inc. (TSX: PMET) has renamed its Corvette Project to the Shaakichiuwaanaan Project, reflecting its commitment to the Cree Nation of Chisasibi.

Patriot Battery Metals Inc. has announced significant expansion in the Vega Zone at the CV13 Spodumene Pegmatite on its Corvette Property. The winter drill program revealed multiple high-grade lithium intercepts, including 9.7 m at 5.16% Li2O and 35.3 m at 2.40% Li2O. Key highlights include:
- 51.7 m at 1.77% Li2O (CV24-525).
- 35.3 m at 2.40% Li2O (CV24-520).
- 34.8 m at 1.87% Li2O (CV24-524).
- 41.5 m at 2.00% Li2O (CV24-510).
The Vega Zone remains open in several directions and is part of a broader mineralized pegmatite system spanning 380 m by 220 m. A follow-up summer-fall drill program is planned to further delineate the zone. An updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Corvette Project is expected in August 2024. The project aims to support a Feasibility Study by 2025, targeting lithium production from the high-grade zones.
