Corvette Property[edit]
Patriot Battery Metals Inc. has released the initial mineral resource estimate for the CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite at their wholly owned Corvette Property in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec. The CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite is situated about 13.5 km south of the Trans-Taiga Road and powerline infrastructure corridor, and within 50 km of the La-Grande 4 (LG4) hydroelectric dam complex. The mineral resource estimate for CV5 confirms it as the largest lithium pegmatite mineral resource in the Americas and ranks 8th globally. It contains 109.2 million metric tons with 1.42% Li2O (lithium oxide) and 160 parts per million Ta2O5 (tantalum oxide) as inferred, at a cut-off grade of 0.40% Li2O, representing a total of 3,835,000 metric tons of contained lithium carbonate equivalent[4]. The mineral resource estimate is based on a geological model that identifies a continuous, principal spodumene pegmatite body with true thickness ranging from approximately 8 m to over 130 m. This pegmatite extends over a strike length of about 3.7 km (from one drill hole to another) and is flanked by multiple subordinate lenses. Moreover, the resource and geological modeling have indicated significant growth potential for CV5, as it remains open at both ends along the strike and also at depth along a substantial portion of its length.[5]
Drilling began on the property in January, 2024 and is expected to continue for several months. Up to ten rigs will be used during the campaign.[6]
