Patriot Battery Metals Inc. (ASX:PMT) has reported a significant discovery at the Corvette Property in Quebec, Canada. The company intercepted approximately 100 m of near-continuous spodumene-bearing pegmatite at CV9. This discovery is a result of the preliminary results of its inaugural drill program at the CV9 Spodumene Pegmatite, which is located approximately 14 km west of the CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite.
Darren L. Smith, Company Vice President of Exploration, expressed, 'This is a very strong start to the drill exploration at the CV9 Pegmatite. Although no core assays have been received yet, the presence of spodumene and the length of pegmatite encountered in multiple holes, highlighted by an approximate 100 m near-continuous spodumene-bearing hit in the final hole of the program, are very positive in terms of potential of this pegmatite to hold significant scale.'
The preliminary results of the drill program have revealed a promising discovery at the CV9 Spodumene Pegmatite, indicating the potential for significant scale. The company has defined a pegmatite strike length of approximately 450 m by drilling and outcrop at CV9, which remains open. The presence of spodumene and the thickness of the pegmatite encountered in multiple holes are positive indicators. Patriot Battery Metals Inc. plans to refine the geological model for CV9 upon the receipt of assays and develop a follow-up drill program to further explore the potential of the CV9 Pegmatite.
