Patriot discovers new high-grade zone at Corvette
Dual-listed Patriot Battery Metals has announced the discovery of a new high-grade zone at the CV13 spodumene pegmatite of the Corvette property, in Quebec.
Samples from the zone range between 3% and 5% lithium oxide (Li2O).
The CV13 trend extends over about 2.3 km strike length through multiple outcrop exposures, of which about 1.1 km has been traced continuously by drilling.
Patriot notes that with significant mineralisation now delineated further west at CV5 and at CV13, there are several options for the mining starter pit.
VP of exploration, Darren Smith, comments that drilling at CV13 has progressed steadily since the recommencement of activities in August, with results continuing to support the interpretation of an extensive, shallow-dipping and near-surface spodumene pegmatite dyke.
“The discovery announced today of a 3% Li2O high-grade zone at CV13, now traced over multiple drill holes, is reminiscent of the high-grade Nova Zone at CV5.
“As we continue to close the distance between CV5 and CV13 through drilling, this newly discovered high-grade zone at CV13, coupled with the large spodumene crystals observed (up to 1.3 m in drill core), supports the interpretation that both share the same ‘plumbing’ system,” says Smith.
