Comet Lithium Identifies Cesium-Bearing Pegmatite Extensions and Discovers New Pegmatite Zone at Elmer East

Comet Lithium Identifies Cesium-Bearing Pegmatite Extensions and Discovers New Pegmatite Zone at Elmer East

The mineralized pegmatite system has now been significantly extended, the main lithium-caesium-bearing dyke now extends for more than 200 metres along strike following recent trenching and prospecting. The dyke ranges from 1 to 4 metres in exposed width, remains open in all directions. The fieldwork has also identified an additional mineralized dyke approximately 40 metres north of the main structure, underscoring the potential for a broader lithium-caesium mineralized corridor at Elmer East.

Highlights:

  • Pegmatite extension more than doubled, now exceeding 200 metres in strike length (from 80 m previously) following trenching and prospecting (Figure 1).
  • Spodumene identified within multiple mineralized zones, confirming a strong lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) affinity.
  • New mineralized dyke discovered approximately 40 metres north of the eastern outcrop, open in both directions and containing spodumene (Figures 1 and 4).
  • Seven mineralized outcrops and dykes now mapped within a continuous corridor of approximately 200 m in length, remaining open along strike and at depth.
  • 134 samples collected between October 15 and 23, 2025, including 35 channel samples from five trenches (EE25-CH1 to CH5) (Figures 2 and 3).

 Comet Lithium Corporation (TSXV: CLIC,OTC:XTRRF) (FSE: 8QY) ("Comet Lithium" or the "Corporation") is pleased to report new exploration results from its follow-up program at the Elmer East Project, located in the Eeyou Istchee Baie-James region of Québec. The program has significantly expanded the known lithium–cesium mineralized footprint initially discovered earlier this season.

Field Program Summary

Between October 15th and 25th, 2025, Comet's team, under the supervision of Dahrouge Geological Consulting, completed:

  • Approximately 101 km of cumulative prospecting traverses across eastern and northern Elmer East.
  • Five channel trenches (3–4 metres each) cut across three key outcrops: West, Central, and East. (Figure 3 and 5).
  • Identification of a new mineralized dyke north of the East outcrop (Figure 4).

Geological Observations

The mineralized pegmatites are characterized by:

  • White to beige spodumene crystals (ranging from 3–15 cm in size).
  • Quartz and potential pollucite (a caesium bearing Zeolite), with accessory muscovite and minor tourmaline.
  • Host rocks consisting mainly of amphibolite, with local felsic to intermediate dykes.
  • The mineralized bodies remain open in all directions, with visible spodumene bearing pegmatitic dykes extending under vegetation and shallow overburden.

Next Steps

All samples have been submitted to the laboratory for geochemical analysis, with assay results expected in the coming weeks. The Company plans to integrate these results with detailed mineralogical characterization (XRD and LIBS), which in turn will be used to evaluate drill targets for 2026, testing subsurface extensions and continuity of the mineralized dykes.

"The Elmer East follow-up program has delivered exactly what we hoped for; a clear extension of the mineralized system, consistent spodumene mineralization, and the first confirmed occurrence of pollucite within the zone. These results reaffirm our belief that Elmer East represents a highly prospective lithium-caesium system within the James Bay region. The team at Dahrouge has done an exceptional job executing under challenging field conditions commented Vincent Metcalfe, Chair and CEO of Comet Lithium.
