Coniagas Exploration Plan: Defining New Drill Targets and Optimizing Infill Holes

Coniagas Exploration Plan: Defining New Drill Targets and Optimizing Infill Holes

(TheNewswire)

Vancouver, BC TheNewswire - March 11, 2025 Coniagas Battery Metals Inc. (TSXV: COS) ("Coniagas" or the "Company"), is working with Laurentia Exploration to fine tune the next drill program with both infill drilling and step-out holes on the Graal property, the Company's strategically located asset near Saguenay-Lac St. Jean, Quebec.

Prior to drilling, the Company proposes to complete a property-wide airborne mag-EM survey with particular design consideration given to the superconductive nature of the Graal base metal mineralization and with a tighter line spacing over the highly prospective area between the Discovery Zone and the MHY Zone.  The data from this survey will provide critical information to guide this and future exploration programs.

Frank Basa, P.Eng. Ontario, President and CEO of Coniagas, stated, "The Graal Property has already delivered exceptional near-surface Copper and Nickel values.  With this next phase of drilling, we are confident that additional holes will add lateral and vertical extent enabling known zones to be connected, all while building upon the results within known mineralized zones."

The initial drill plan, a total of 9,500m in 58 holes, is laid out to focus primarily on near-surface mineralization and to extend the best intercepts in the Discovery, MHY and Gravi Zones.  Some holes will target untested surface EM anomalies from surveys conducted in the previous program.  A total of 1,775 m has been allocated to a more regional approach to confirm historic intercepts peripheral to the main Zones.

Given that the known mineralization is near surface, a program of prospecting with a beep mat has been proposed to test regional extent of mineralization using known Max/Min EM anomaly trends and the airborne geophysics data received to gain a better understanding of the local geology prior to drilling program in those areas.

For Historical and recent exploration results, please see previous news release or the project section on the company website .

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.

Frank Basa, P.Eng. Ontario, President and CEO of Coniagas, stated, " Graal's near-surface mineralization delivers clear economic advantages. Our drill program targets zone expansion while connecting discrete bodies into one unified resource, and the shallow-depth deposit compresses development timelines by years. This benefit is amplified by our existing infrastructure and local skilled workforce ."
