The Shaakichiuwaanaan Trait hosts a consolidated Mineral Useful resource Estimate1 (“MRE”) of 80.1 Mt at 1.44% Li2O Indicated and 62.5 Mt at 1.31% Li2O Inferred. The CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite, which methods the majority of the MRE, is available year-round by way of all-season street and is located roughly 14 km from a significant hydroelectric powerline hall.

Core assay effects for 98 holes (31,513 m) are reported on this announcement (Determine 1, Desk 1, Desk 2), concluding the reporting of all 431 holes (128,052 m) finished right through the 2024 drill marketing campaign on the Trait. The holes reported on this announcement eager about in-fill drilling on the CV5 Storehouse to aid an MRE replace concentrated on conversion of Mineral Assets from the Inferred division to the upper self assurance Indicated division, which is able to in flip underpin a maiden Ore Hold Estimate.

The drill holes reported examined just about all of the 4.6 km clash area these days outlined at CV5, which remainder i’m free at each ends and at intensity, alongside a good portion of its area. The effects proceed to show that vast and well-mineralized pegmatite, with persistently huge spodumene crystals, is provide alongside all of the clash area of the storagefacility (Determine 1, Determine 2, Determine 3, and Determine 4).

With the supply of those effects, all useful resource, geotechnical, geomechanical, and hydrogeological drill holes required to aid the pending Feasibility Learn about on CV5 at the moment are whole. Those drill holes focused boxes encompassing the predicted supporting building infrastructure (procedure plant, camp, stockpiles, squander rock and tailings control amenities, and so on.), as effectively open-pit and underground building boxes. The information accrued shall be impaired to ascertain a maiden Ore Hold, infrastructure underpinning and manufacture parameters, rock mechanics area parameters, and hydrogeological fashions to aid the whole mine design for the pending Feasibility Learn about.


________________
1 Shaakichiuwaanaan (CV5 & CV13) Mineral Useful resource Estimate (80.1 Mt at 1.44% Li2O and 163 ppm Ta2O5 Indicated, and 62.5 Mt at 1.31% Li2O and 147 ppm Ta2O5 ppm Inferred) is reported at a cut-off grade of 0.40% Li2O (open-pit), 0.60% Li2O (underground CV5), and nil.80% Li2O (underground CV13) with an Efficient Year of August 21, 2024 (thru drill gap CV24-526). Mineral Assets don’t seem to be Mineral Reserves as they don’t have demonstrated financial viability.

Jointly, over the 2024 drill marketing campaign a complete of 431 holes (128,052 m) had been finished around the CV5 and CV13 pegmatites, in addition to boxes of proposed infrastructure in aid of time building. This comprises step-out and in-fill holes, in addition to geotechnical, hydrogeological, and geomechanical holes.

Because the “discovery hole”, CF21-001 – the primary gap to check the CV5 Pegmatite floor exposures at intensity – was once finished in fall 2021, a complete of 793 holes totalling 233,884 m were finished at Shaakichiuwaanaan eager about exploration and building of lithium pegmatite.

This drilling has delineated the most important arduous rock lithium useful resource within the Americas – Shaakichiuwaanaan (comprising the CV5 & CV13 pegmatites).

The collective drill datasets will underpin an up to date and higher-confidence MRE for the Shaakichiuwaanaan Venture (CV5 & CV13 pegmatites), in addition to an anticipated maiden Ore Hold for the CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite, which shall be declared upon final touch of the Feasibility Learn about, which is concentrated for supply in Q3-2025.

The declare stop is dominantly host to rocks of the Guyer Workforce (amphibolite, iron formation, intermediate to mafic volcanics, peridotite, pyroxenite, komatiite, in addition to felsic volcanics). The amphibolite rocks that development east-west (most often steeply south dipping) thru this area are bordered to the north by way of the Magin Formation (conglomerate and wacke) and to the south by way of an assemblage of tonalite, granodiorite, and diorite, along with metasediments of the Marbot Workforce (conglomerate, wacke). A number of regional-scale Proterozoic gabbroic dykes additionally abridge thru parts of the Trait (Lac Spirt Dykes, Senneterre Dykes).
  • The geological surroundings is potential for gold, silver, bottom metals, platinum workforce components, and lithium over a number of other storagefacility kinds together with orogenic gold (Au), volcanogenic large sulfide (Cu, Au, Ag), komatiite-ultramafic (Au, Ag, PGE, Ni, Cu, Co), and pegmatite (Li, Ta).
  • Exploration of the Trait has defined 3 number one mineral exploration developments crossing dominantly east-west over huge parts of the Trait – Blonde Development (gold), Maven Development (copper, gold, silver), and CV Development (lithium, tantalum). The CV5 and CV13 spodumene pegmatites are located inside the CV Development. Lithium mineralization on the Trait, together with at CV5, CV13, and CV9, is seen to happen inside of quartz-feldspar pegmatite, that may be uncovered at floor as towering vacay ‘whale-back’ landforms. The pegmatite is ceaselessly very coarse-grained and off-white in look, with darker divisions recurrently composed of mica and smoky quartz, and coffee tourmaline.
  • The lithium pegmatites at Shaakichiuwaanaan are categorised as LCT Pegmatites. Core assays and ongoing mineralogical research, coupled with farmland mineral identity and assays verify spodumene because the dominant lithium-bearing mineral at the Trait, with out a vital petalite, lepidolite, lithium-phosphate minerals, or apatite provide. The spodumene crystal measurement of the pegmatites is normally decimetre scale, and due to this fact, very huge. The pegmatites additionally raise vital tantalum values with tantalite indicated to be the mineral section.

 

Drill gap Data

    • gap area.
  • If the exclusion of this knowledge is truthful at the foundation that the tips isn’t Subject matter and this exclusion does now not detract from the figuring out of the file, the Competent Particular person must obviously provide an explanation for why that is the case.

 

  • Drill gap property knowledge is incorporated in a desk herein.
  • Pegmatite intersections of <2 m don’t seem to be normally introduced as they’re thought to be insignificant. 

 

Knowledge aggregation forms

  • In reporting Exploration Effects, weighting averaging ways, most and/or minimal grade truncations (eg slicing of towering grades) and cut-off grades are most often Subject matter and must be mentioned.
  • The place combination intercepts incorporate decrease lengths of towering grade effects and longer lengths of low grade effects, the process impaired for such aggregation must be mentioned and a few conventional examples of such aggregations must be proven in property.
  • The guesses impaired for any reporting of steel similar values must be obviously mentioned.

 

  • Field weighted averages had been impaired to calculate grade over width.
  • Negative explicit grade cap or cut-off was once impaired right through grade width calculations. The lithium and tantalum area weighted moderate grade of all of the pegmatite pause is calculated for all pegmatite periods over 2 m core area, in addition to increased grade zones on the discretion of the geologist. Pegmatites have inconsistent mineralization by way of nature, for the purpose of some periods having a little choice of poorly mineralized samples incorporated within the calculation. Non-pegmatite inside dilution is proscribed to normally <3 m the place related and periods indicated when assays are reported.
  • Negative steel equivalents were reported.

 

Dating between mineralization widths and intercept lengths

  • Those relationships are in particular remarkable within the reporting of Exploration Effects.
  • If the geometry of the mineralization with recognize to the drill gap attitude is understood, its nature must be reported.
  • If it isn’t identified and best the unwell gap lengths are reported, there must be a sunlit observation to this impact (eg ‘unwell gap area, true width now not identified’).

 

  • At CV5, geological modelling is ongoing on a hole-by-hole foundation and as assays are won. Then again, flow interpretation helps a essential, huge pegmatite frame of close vertical to steeply dipping orientation, flanked by way of a number of subordinate pegmatite lenses (jointly, the ‘CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite’)
  • At CV13, geological modelling is ongoing on a hole-by-hole foundation and as assays are won. Then again, flow interpretation helps a order of sub-parallel trending sills with a flat-lying to shallow northerly dip (jointly, the ‘CV13 Spodumene Pegmatite’)
  • At CV9, geological modelling is ongoing on a hole-by-hole foundation and as assays are won. Then again, flow interpretation signifies CV9 is made out of a unmarried essential dyke, which outcrops at floor, has a steep northerly dip, and is slightly plunging to the east-southeast. A clash area of 450 m has been delineated thru drilling and outcrop.
  • All reported widths are core area. True widths don’t seem to be calculated for each and every gap because of the quite vast drill spacing at this level of delineation and the standard abnormal nature of pegmatite, in addition to the assorted drill gap orientations. As such, true widths might range extensively from gap to gap.

 

Diagrams

  • Suitable maps and divisions (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts must be incorporated for any vital discovery being reported Those must come with, however now not be restricted to a plan view of drill gap collar places and suitable sectional perspectives.

  • The place complete reporting of all Exploration Effects isn’t practicable, consultant reporting of each high and low grades and/or widths must be practiced to steer clear of deceptive reporting of Exploration Effects.
  • Please please see the desk(s) incorporated herein in addition to the ones posted at the Corporate’s web site. 
  • Effects for pegmatite periods <2 m don’t seem to be reported.

Alternative substantive exploration information

  • Alternative exploration information, if significant and subject matter, must be reported together with (however now not restricted to): geological observations; geophysical survey effects; geochemical survey effects; bulk samples – measurement and form of remedy; metallurgical take a look at effects; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock traits; possible deleterious or contaminating ingredients.

 

  • The Corporate is these days finishing website environmental paintings over the CV5 and CV13 pegmatite section. 
  • The Corporate has finished a bathymetric survey over the shallow frigid pond which overlies a portion of the CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite. The pond intensity levels from <2 m to roughly 18 m, despite the fact that nearly all of the CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite, as delineated to year, is overlain by way of normally <2 to ten m of H2O.
  • The Corporate has finished vital metallurgical checking out made out of HLS and magnetic checking out, which has produced 6+% Li2O spodumene concentrates at >70% cure on each CV5 and CV13 pegmatite subject matter, indicating DMS as a viable number one procedure means, and that each CV5 and CV13 may just probably feed the similar procedure plant. A DMS take a look at on CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite subject matter returned a spodumene listen grading 5.8% Li2O at 79% cure, strongly indicating possible for a DMS best operation to be appropriate. Moreover, a extra expansive DMS pilot program has been finished, together with with non-pegmatite dilution, and has produced ends up in order with prior testwork.
  • Diverse mandates required for advancing the Venture in opposition to Feasibility were initiated, together with however now not restricted to, environmental baseline, metallurgy, geomechanics, hydrogeology, hydrology, stakeholder engagement, geochemical characterization, in addition to mining, transportation, and logistical research.

 

Additional paintings

  • The character and scale of deliberate additional paintings (eg exams for lateral extensions or intensity extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).
  • Diagrams obviously highlighting the boxes of imaginable extensions, together with the primary geological interpretations and time drilling boxes, supplied this knowledge isn’t commercially delicate.

 

  • The Corporate intends to proceed drilling the pegmatites of the Shaakichiuwaanaan Trait, centered at the CV5 Pegmatite and adjoining subordinate lenses, in addition to the CV13 Pegmatite and matching potential corridors.
