Vancouver, BC TheNewswire - February 3, 2025 Coniagas Battery Metals Inc. (TSXV: COS) ("Coniagas" or the "Company"), is pleased to engage the services of Laurentia Exploration to design and manage ongoing exploration activities at the Graal property, highlighting the potential of this strategically located asset near Saguenay-Lac St. Jean, Quebec.

 

  Frank J. Basa, President and CEO, stated, "The prospect of expanding upon known zones and finding new zones containing nickel, copper, cobalt and PGM at Graal is encouraging from the results of the completed drill programs. Numerous drill hole intercepts confirm the potential of Graal property for hosting significant and thick massive sulfides mineralization. We will continue to add to these results within known mineralized zones to increase our understanding while stepping out to expand those zones along the defined trends while exploring for new zones."  

 

  Historical Exploration Highlights:  

 

  The Company is excited to add to the reported excellent drilling results from the MHY, Gravi and Discovery zones, confirming shallow, near-surface mineralization. Certain significant drill intercepts include PGM values added to the equivalents:

  Next Steps:  

 

  The Company has engaged Laurentia Exploration to design and manage the program while continuing the permitting process to be able to expand the near surface zones at Graal. This   expansion aims to further delineate the resource potential and enhance the economic viability of the project.  

 

  The Company intends on following up on the geophysical anomaly delineated by TDEM surveys on the MHY zone that indicated a large conductive layer interpreted to be approximately   1.7km long   with a   minimum depth extent of 850m   . Due to the nature and extent of the Graal mineralization, this survey returned a strong response to this electromagnetic.  The Company plans to use the same method to explore and generate new drill targets between MHY and Discovery Zones. Several BHEM (Borehole electromagnetic surveys) made in the previous drill campaign also reveal several other conductors and extension modelled by Maxwell that need to be tested or delineated.  

 

  Currently, the interpreted models indicate a potential for a   low-grade, large-volume orebody with local and smaller but richer and thicker lenses along the mineralized trend, as seen in the intersection made in drillhole GRL-22-61. This scenario suggests the possibility of having a large, low-grade starter pit that can evolve to underground mining of the rich higher-grade pockets   .  

 

  Strategic Location:  

 

  The Graal property boasts an excellent location north of Saguenay-Lac St. Jean, offering several logistical advantages:  

 
  •  

      Year-Round Accessibility: The site is road-accessible and drill-ready throughout the year.  

     
  •  
  •  

      Proximity to Infrastructure: The nearby Chute-de-Passe power station provides reliable and cost-effective energy.  

     
  •  
  •  

      Local Industrial Hub: The town of Lac-St. Jean, an industrial hub, offers a skilled workforce and port access to the St. Lawrence River.

VIDEO: Lithium Universe Ltd Interview with Executive Chairman Iggy Tan

Melbourne, Australia (ABN Newswire) - In an interview with ABN Newswire, Lithium Universe Ltd (ASX:LU7,OTC:LUVSF) (OTCMKTS:LUVSF) Executive Chairman Iggy Tan outlines the current activities of the company including the vision of closing the "Lithium Conversion Gap".

Additionally, the company has recently licensed to acquire technology from Macquarie University for the extraction of silver from solar cells. The technique involves a specialised process to delaminate the components in the PV cell and avoid the crushing of the cell for recycling.

This method provides a cleaner disaggregation of the materials in the cell and enables the liberation of critical materials and a significant amount of silver. Silver is a component in the manufacture of PV cells, and with an estimated amount of 80 million tonnes of solar cell waste globally, typically dumped, the process facilitates easy recovery of these valuable materials.

SAGA Metals Showcases Radar Project as Potentially Comparable to China's Panzhihua VTM Deposit

SAGA Metals Showcases Radar Project as Potentially Comparable to China's Panzhihua VTM Deposit

 

Saga Metals Corp. ("SAGA" or the "Company") (TSXV: SAGA,OTC:SAGMF) (OTCQB: SAGMF) (FSE: 20H) a North American exploration company focused on critical mineral discovery, is pleased to report a significant breakthrough in its 2025 exploration campaign at the wholly-owned Radar Project in Labrador, Canada. Emerging technical results suggest that the project bears geological similarities to Panzhihua, the world's leading vanadiferous titanomagnetite (VTM) operation, located in China, which contributes over 40% of global vanadium (V 2 O 5 ) production 1 .

 

With a large oxide layering thickness, a near-monomineralic VTM composition, and extensive mineral tenures, the Radar Project shows the potential to become a globally meaningful VTM project. We use Panzhihua as our deposit model target, however, note that comparable Labradorite-type AMCG deposits are not necessarily indicative of the grades and tonnes of the mineralization within the Dykes River intrusion.
