Patriot Battery Metals Releases CV5 Pegmatite Drill Results

Overview of the Recent Drill Program
Patriot Battery Metals Inc. has recently completed an extensive summer-fall 2024 drill program at its CV5 Pegmatite, part of the larger Shaakichiuwaanaan Property. The program successfully delivered wide, high-grade spodumene pegmatite intercepts which provide critical data for an upcoming feasibility study and the first ore reserve estimation.
Noteworthy Highlights from the Drill Results
The latest drilling results have showcased impressive intervals of lithium mineralization, with the most significant being:
- 153.8 meters at 2.00% Li2O, featuring 55.4 meters at a remarkable 3.42% Li2O (hole CV24-733).
- 142.9 meters at 1.77% Li2O, inclusive of 35.2 meters at 3.36% Li2O (hole CV24-719).
- 186.0 meters at 1.08% Li2O, containing 11.3 meters at 4.27% Li2O (hole CV24-704).
- 129.8 meters at 1.36% Li2O, with 22.4 meters at 2.45% Li2O (hole CV24-688).
- 142.3 meters at 1.12% Li2O, featuring 55.2 meters at 2.19% Li2O (hole CV24-769).
In total, core assay results were recorded for 98 drill holes spanning 31,513 meters, finishing the total of 431 holes for the year, which amounts to 128,052 meters. This final set of assays completes the critical dataset required for the feasibility study and maiden ore reserve estimate.
Company’s Forward-Thinking Approach
Darren L. Smith, the Vice President of Exploration at Patriot, expressed enthusiasm about the drill program's accomplishments. He emphasized that this initiative is paramount for enhancing the confidence level of the mineral resource estimates from inferred to indicated status. The project is on track for an ore reserve evaluation in the third quarter of 2025.
Strategic Importance of Shaakichiuwaanaan Property
The Shaakichiuwaanaan Property hosts a substantial mineral resource estimate, consisting of 80.1 million tonnes at 1.44% Li2O in indicated resources and 62.5 million tonnes at 1.31% Li2O in inferred resources. This places the property among the largest lithium resources in the Americas.
Expectations for Future Developments
The company is not only focused on capitalizing on the current findings but is also planning further drilling initiatives. The geological and block models are being refined alongside independent consultants to ensure that the project meets its upcoming milestones.
