Champion Electric Metals Inc. provided an update on its spring field program following up from a successful winter drilling program at its Lithium Property in James Bay, Quebec. The spring field program commenced with prospecting and till sampling to the southwest and northeast from the recently drilled pegmatites. The first phase of work will include till sampling on tighter spacing, boulder prospecting, mapping, and trenching with channel sampling.

The team is employing multiple techniques to explore beneath the thin glacial sediments. Once outcrop or large boulders are located, excavators are deployed to test for overburden depth and, in some cases, clear the overburden for channel sampling of pegmatites. The Company obtained the permit to conduct trenching under the Authorization pour Travaux d'Exploration à Impact (ATI) regulation.

The search has already discovered a boulder field (including boulders up to 5m X 4m X 2m) stretching at least 600 metres up ice and up to 50m wide. A high percentage of these boulders contains large spodumene crystals (up to 30cm long) that were visually identified. Samples of these spodumene boulders have been sent to the lab, and the technical team has begun trenching and channel sampling in the area.
