Chariot Corporation presents a unique value proposition for seasoned investors, with its strategic ownership of the largest land package for lithium exploration in the US and a portfolio of non-core assets providing significant revenue opportunities.
Chariot Corporation (ASX:CC9) is the largest landholder for lithium exploration in the US. It has a strategy to target both hardrock lithium in Wyoming and claystone lithium in Nevada and Oregon. The flagship Black Mountain project in Wyoming has shown significant mineralization with grades of up to 6.68 percent Li2O from rock chip samples. Chariot’s six other hard rock projects in Wyoming span 443 claims covering 3,585 hectares.
The second flagship project, Resurgent, has the second largest land position in the McDermitt Caldera, which hosts the two largest lithium resources discovered to date (Thacker Pass with 19.1 million tons (Mt) lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) and McDermitt at 21.5 Mt LCE). The recent $650-million investment in Thacker Pass by General Motors indicates interest from automakers looking to secure a supply of battery raw materials. The McDermitt Caldera’s size and scale potential present an opportunity for Automotive OEMs, battery manufacturers and others to obtain large-scale supply to meet their growth plans.
The automaker's EV targets and government policies banning new internal combustion engine (ICE) car sales could propel lithium demand to 3.7 Mt by 2030, according to projections from mining giant Albemarle. This implies a CAGR of more than 20 percent between 2022 and 2030.
As the world's demand for lithium continues to grow, Chariot's exploration and development efforts in the US are well-timed and offer investors exposure to the rapidly growing lithium market.
Chariot has been actively focusing on creating value through the divestment of selected lithium assets. Four such assets have been divested so far through sale and/or option agreements with publicly listed companies. These transactions can potentially generate up to an estimated US$5.1 million in cash and stock-based consideration, in addition to future royalty payments for Chariot. The company currently has four additional projects that may be potential divestment opportunities, including Lida and Amargosa (Nevada), Mardabilla (Western Australia) and Nyamukono (Zimbabwe).
The company believes its two core projects, Black Mountain and Resurgent, represent early, prospective lithium opportunities in the United States. Chariot has completed its phase 1 drill program at the Black Mountain project consisting of nine shallow holes, drilled from a total of 1,132 metres. The company plans to recommence exploration work at Black Mountain and engage in exploration activities at its six other lithium-caesium-tantalite pegmatite projects in Wyoming. Phase 2 drilling at Black Mountain will comprise 3,000 to 4,000 metres utilizing cost-efficient, man-portable rigs as a precursor to a larger truck-mounted drilling program.
Following the AU$9-million IPO, Chariot is now fully funded to execute its exploration plans over the next two years, of which nearly a significant proportion will be spent on the Black Mountain project.
Concurrently, the company plans to continue exploration activities at the Copper Mountain project, South Pass, Wyoming Regional and the Resurgent project to define targets for future drilling.
Chariot boasts a world-class team with strong track records in mining, exploration and the financial services sectors. The management has significant corporate and investment banking experience. Non-executive chairman Murray Bleach was formerly the CEO of Macquarie in North America, while the CEO, Shanthar Pathmanathan was an oil and investment banker with Macquarie and Deutsche Bank. On the geological side, Neil Stuart who is a non-executive director is a lithium industry veteran having previously founded Orocobre Ltd (which later merged with Galaxy Resources) to form Allkem Ltd, one of the largest lithium producers in the world. The exploration team is led by Dr. Edward Max Baker, a geologist with over 40 years of experience and several discoveries. He was the chief geologist at Newcrest Mining, MIM Holdings, Rennison Goldfields and Mount Isa Mines. The collective experience of the management team, from investment banking (with fundraising and M&A experience) to resource discoveries, will be useful in advancing the company’s core projects.
County, approximately midway between Casper and Riverton, Wyoming. Chariot initially held a 91.9 percent stake in the project with 134 mining claims covering 878 hectares. In 2024, the company expanded the project with 218 contiguous claims resulting in a 206 percent increase in project tenure area. Black Mountain now comprises 352 claims covering 2,686 hectares of tenure which subsequently increased Chariot's ownership interests in its Wyoming lithium portfolio to 93.9 percent.
The project is well-serviced by existing roads and infrastructure. The claim area was acquired via claim staking of public land administered by the US Bureau of Land Management.
The project features large pegmatite outcrops at the surface with spodumene and tantalum mineralisation. Surface rock chip samples returned assays of up to 6.38 percent lithium oxide.
Black Mountain may represent a significant hard rock lithium opportunity in a tier-1 mining jurisdiction in the US. The asset features an excellent combination of geological factors, and a supportive regulatory regime and is located in a largely unpopulated part of Wyoming.
The Resurgent project is a claystone-hosted lithium project located in the McDermitt Caldera in Oregon and Nevada. The company owns a 79.4 percent stake in this project. The Resurgent project comprises 1,450 claims covering 12,128 hectares and is further subdivided into two principal claim areas, identified as ‘Resurgent North’ and ‘Resurgent East.’ Chariot has the second-largest land position in the McDermitt Caldera, which hosts two of the largest lithium mineral resources in North America, with a combined mineral resource estimate of over 40 Mt LCE - Thacker Pass at 19.1 Mt LCE and McDermitt at 21.5 Mt LCE.
The Resurgent North project targets the same sedimentary units that host Jindalee Resources' (ASX:JRL) McDermitt project with a mineral resource estimate of 21.5 Mt LCE. A surface sampling campaign at Resurgent North conducted in 2021 involving 289 samples returned values as high as 3,865 ppm lithium (over three times typical lithium claystone MRE cut-off grade). Of the 289 samples, 70 samples returned values greater than 100 ppm lithium, 20 samples returned values greater than 1,000 ppm lithium and 10 samples returned values greater than 2,000 ppm lithium.
The Resurgent East project targets the same sedimentary units that host Lithium Americas’ (NYSE:LAC) Thacker Pass lithium deposit (MRE at 19.1 Mt LCE). The similarity in geological characteristics with the two largest lithium deposits in the US further validates the potential for a large-scale high-grade lithium discovery at Resurgent.
Besides the two core projects, the company has a pipeline of six lithium exploration projects comprising 443 claims and covering 3,585 hectares. Each of them is described below:
Chariot has been actively focused on creating value via divestment of selected lithium assets in its portfolio, which includes the following assets: Halo (Chariot’s ownership 21.4 percent), Horizon (Chariot’s ownership 21.4 percent), Lithic & Mustang (ownership 21.4 percent) and the WA Lithium portfolio (Chariot was the 100 percent owner of this property prior to the sale to St George Mining Ltd). These divestments, once executed, can potentially generate more than US$5 million in gross proceeds (cash and stock-based consideration) for Chariot in addition to future royalty payments.
The company has identified four more projects for divestment: Lida project (Nevada), Amargosa project (Nevada), Nyamukono project (Zimbabwe), and Mardabilla project (Western Australia).
Shanthar Pathmanathan has 14 years of investment banking experience in the metals and mining, oil and gas and chemicals sectors.

Saga Metals Corp. ("SAGA" or the "Company"), a North American exploration company focused on critical mineral discovery in Canada, is pleased to share assay results from its inaugural field program at the Double Mer Uranium Project, located in eastern Labrador, Canada.
Key Updates from the Double Mer Uranium Project
2024 Saga Metals Rock sample locations with field CPS (Counts per Second) readings taken on R-125 Scintillometer
2024 Field Program Results at the Double Mer Uranium Project
The Double Mer Uranium Project spans 25,600 hectares (1,024 claims), located about 90 kilometers northeast of Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador. Significant historical data provided a strong head start for the 2024 field season, which confirmed a 14-kilometer trend with surface samples showing uranium oxide (U3O8) concentrations as high as 4,281 ppm and scintillometer readings up to 27,000 cps —surpassing the historical benchmark of 21,000 cps.
SAGA's exploration team confirmed and expanded on historical findings, with highlights including:
The consistent U3O8 grades found throughout pegmatite intrusions, which dominate the property's surface, are particularly encouraging for large tonnage resource potential . The ability to maintain above-cutoff grades across almost the entire 18-kilometer trend sets the stage for the Double Mer Uranium Project. Uranium oxide (U3O8) grades range from 0.015% (low-grade cutoff) to 0.3% U3O8 , consistent with grades observed in the highly productive Central Mineral Belt (CMB) in Labrador, Canada.
Michael Garagan, CGO & Director of Saga Metals, commented : "Proving a large-tonnage uranium resource is our priority. The Luivik zone offers a strong starting point for understanding grade consistency across the property. However, we are committed to a systematic, extensive drill program that carefully defines the entire 18-kilometer trend. This approach emphasizes long-term scalability over localized high-grade intercepts."
2024 and historical rock sample assay results with red indicating highest uranium oxide (U 3 O 8 ) levels. Thorium and Molybdenum are added to the above table to highlight the geochemical correlation with Uranium deposit models.
Surface sample assay results within the three identified priority zones
During the 2024 field program, prospecting efforts extended into the north-northeast section of the Double Mer property. Although exposure was limited, three traverses revealed weak uranium mineralization along a trend that may mirror the anticline fold hosting the primary 18-kilometer anomalous radiometric trend in the southern region of the claims.
These initial northern results are encouraging and suggest additional anomalous zones could be discovered in 2025 using advanced techniques such as soil sampling, biogeochemical studies, and expanded prospecting efforts.
Regional map of the Double Mer Uranium Project in Labrador, Canada
Double Mer and its Comparable Potential to Labrador's Central Mineral Belt (CMB):
SAGA positions the Double Mer Uranium Project alongside some of Labrador's most significant uranium discoveries, including Paladin Energy's Michelin and Atha Energy's CMB discoveries in the Central Mineral Belt (CMB) . With strong surface samples and radiometric trends, SAGA believes Double Mer could offer large-tonnage potential comparable to these established projects. The CMB is a premier uranium region in Labrador and is host to several notable uranium projects including:
Paladin Energy 1 :
Atha Energy 2 :
Large tonnage low grade uranium resources in Newfoundland and Labrador 3
The table above highlights and supports the large tonnage low grade uranium discussion found in Labrador and is comparable to similar deposit styles throughout other major mining districts in the world such as Kazakhstan, Namibia, Argentina. The cutoff grade in the table above ranges from 0.015-0.05% U 3 O 8 4 , reaching less than 0.1% U 3 O 8 and is so far, consistent with the grades SAGA is seeing at surface from rock assays, laying the confidence for further exploration and its upcoming drill program.
Commitment to Quality: Robust QA/QC Protocols
SAGA followed a rigorous Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) program to ensure data accuracy and reliability. The program included:
This robust QA/QC approach ensures the reliability of assay results and demonstrates SAGA's commitment to industry-leading exploration standards.
Environmental Responsibility: SAGA Completes Baseline Water Study at Double Mer
SAGA partnered with Strum Consulting, an environmental firm based in Atlantic Canada, to conduct a baseline water study across the Double Mer Uranium Project. This study:
This proactive approach underscores SAGA's commitment to environmental stewardship and its role as a responsible junior mining company.
Michael Garagan, CGO & Director of Saga Metals Corp., stated: "Doing things right from the beginning is critical—not just for SAGA, but for the communities we work alongside and the industry as a whole. Canada's mining sector operates under some of the highest environmental standards globally, and we believe responsible exploration is essential to secure North America's critical mineral supply for a green energy future."
Q1 2025 Double Mer Drill Program: Targeting the High-Potential Luivik Zone
The Luivik zone , located at the western end of the 18-kilometer trend, has been prioritized for SAGA's maiden drill program in 2025. This decision is based on several compelling factors:
This 1,500-meter drill program will test the Luivik zone's mineralization and provide key data to guide further exploration across the property.
