Exceptional Lithium Drilling Results from PMET Resources
Recent developments from PMET Resources Inc. (TSX: PMETF) have revealed truly remarkable lithium drilling results. The company conducted an intensive drilling campaign at their Shaakichiuwaanaan Property, uncovering significant lithium mineralization that showcases the property's immense potential. This update highlights both wide, high-grade lithium intercepts from previously drilled areas and exciting new discoveries.
Vega Zone Drilling Achieves Impressive Results
One of the standout areas in this drilling campaign has been the Vega Zone. The results from infill drilling in this region have delivered exceptional lithium intercepts, demonstrating the area's extraordinary mineral wealth. Notably, drill hole CV25-1006 yielded an astonishing 55.0 meters at a grade of 2.58% Li2O, which includes a striking 29.9 meters at 4.11% Li2O. Such impressive results have not only spotlighted the Vega Zone but also positioned it as one of the leading lithium sources globally.
Additional High-Grade Intercepts
Other noteworthy drill results from the Vega Zone include:
- Drill hole CV25-1017A that provided 24.7 meters at 4.00% Li2O, featuring a core section of 7.0 meters at 6.04% Li2O.
- Drill hole CV25-1023, which returned 31.2 meters at 2.07% Li2O, highlighted by 1.1 meters at 7.32% Li2O.
- Drill hole CV25-1024 showed 20.6 meters at 3.31% Li2O, with a more concentrated section of 8.8 meters at 5.02% Li2O.
Additionally, CV25-1016 and CV25-948 drilled further into the asset's potential, providing 49.7 meters at 2.08% Li2O and 40.1 meters at 1.97% Li2O, respectively. The breadth and quality of these intercepts emphasize the overarching potential of the Vega Zone, establishing it as an enviable target for lithium exploration.
New Lithium-Tantalum Zone Discovery at CV13 Pegmatite
In conjunction with results from the Vega Zone, the company announced a new discovery—a high-grade lithium-tantalum zone known as "Helios" at the CV13 Pegmatite. This zone exhibited impressive results, with drill hole CV25-984 uncovering 8.8 meters at 2.97% Li2O, which included a narrower portion at 5.4 meters at 4.60% Li2O.
Additional Insights from Helios
The newly identified area also revealed other promising results:
- CV25-977 recorded 6.4 meters at 2.61% Li2O, showcasing 4.1 meters at 3.94% Li2O.
- CV25-986 provided 18.4 meters at 1.19% Li2O, with a concentrated 6.9 meters at 2.49% Li2O.
Rigel Zone Showcases High-Grade Lithium Intercepts
Further adding to PMET's promising results, infill drilling in the Rigel Zone has also yielded significant lithium grades. Notable results include:
- Drill hole CV25-919 reported 11.5 meters at 2.87% Li2O, emphasizing its high-grade potential with 6.9 meters at 4.40% Li2O.
- CV25-913 returned 15.0 meters at a grade of 1.15% Li2O alongside a focused segment of 7.9 meters at 2.15% Li2O.
CV4 Pegmatite Continues to Impress
The CV4 Pegmatite has also contributed to the overall mineralization profile, revealing additional well-mineralized lithium drill intercepts:
- CV25-985 recorded an assay of 15.0 meters at 1.07% Li2O.
- CV25-1002B demonstrated 12.0 meters at 1.42% Li2O, expanding the lithium mineralization footprint further.
- Drilling in CV25-961A yielded 7.0 meters at 2.00% Li2O, showcasing the continuing benefits of the exploration program.
In total, through 2025, PMET completed 57,024 meters across 245 holes. This announcement covers the lithium and tantalum results from the remaining 15,081 meters, reporting great promise for the future of the company.
Future Assay Results Awaited
Darren L. Smith, the Executive Vice President of Exploration at PMET, remarked, "This remarkable batch of results includes the best lithium intercepts we have reported so far from both the Vega Zone and across the Property. The presence of high-grade spodumene mineralization is among the strongest documented globally. We also look forward to the future as new zones continue to be developed, evidenced by the discoveries at Helios."
Smith added, "We are eagerly anticipating the results for caesium from multiple holes showing over-limit assays, and once received, we will promptly announce further updates."
