The 2023 Field Season Confirmed Greenfield Lithium Pegmatite Vectors:
- Regional metamorphic grade: upper greenschist / lower amphibolite.
- Occurrence of peraluminous granite and leucogranite on Orford's
Nunavik Lithium Properties . - Key minerals identified in pegmatite indicative of proximity to fertile parent granite:
- green muscovite (+/- garnet, tourmaline, fluorite).
- Assays indicate pegmatites are enriched in lithium, beryllium, tantalum, cesium, and rubidium.
- LCT-bearing pegmatites on at least three properties (Figure 1, Table 1) suggests high prospectivity for additional dykes.
- Opportunity to generate additional targets and provide geochemical vector towards mineralization (more fractionated LCTs) using till assay data (results outstanding).
An additional 550 till (frost boil) samples have been collected on the Radiant, kWatt and Wire properties to possibly identify "blind" LCT pegmatite which are not exposed at surface. Till assays results are expected by the end of November and may identify additional targets for follow up. The till sampling was done in areas where there are strong lithium anomalies in lake bottom sediment sample surveys completed by the
