James Bay Lithium Projects - Taiga, Camaro and Hellcat

The 5,187-hectare James Bay Lithium Projects are located adjacent to Patriot Battery Metals’ Corvette Property in the James Bay Region of Quebec, approximately 235 kilometres east of Radisson, Quebec and 245 kilometres northeast of the Cree village municipality of Nemaska. The James Bay Lithium Projects contain three property blocks: Taiga, Camaro, and Hellcat. These projects cover 3,850 hectares and are adjacent to Patriot Battery Metals’ (TSX.V:PMET) Corvette Lithium discovery in James Bay. PMET’s CV8 pegmatite is one of the finest new hard rock lithium discoveries, with grab samples averaging 4.6% Li2O, and is located only 1.4 km north of the Taiga Project, and PMET’s newly-discovered CV13 pegmatite cluster is located 1.5 km north of the Camaro Project (See Figure 2).

Geology

Three primary ingredients have been identified in the industry as necessary for spodumene-bearing pegmatite emplacement: 1) Nearby granites, providing a source for melts; 2) Greenstone belts, acting as host rocks; and 3) large-scale structural features acting as conduits for the melts. The Taiga, Camaro and Hellcat properties in James Bay contain all three ingredients and multiple high-value exploration targets.

Taiga and Camaro Projects

These properties are situated in the Meso-Archean to Paleoproterozoic La Grande Subprovince of the Superior Provence. The Corvette Pegmatite series is hosted in the Mesoarchean Guyer Grupe, which is dominantly a meta-basalt (greenstone). The Taiga and Camaro projects are underlain by the Poste Le Moyne and Langelier plutons, respectively. The Camaro project is hosted in the Semonville Pluton with local windows of the Rouget Formation metabasalt. Properties are hosted in hornblende biotite diorite, quartz-rich diorite, biotite hornblende tonalite, granodiorite, granite, conglomerate, wacke, and amphibolite. Pegmatite dykes range from cm-scale irregular anatectic sweats to locally 5m wide dykes traced up to 200 m in length. The dykes are comprised of plagioclase feldspar, potassium feldspar, quartz, and minor biotite with local tourmaline and muscovite.
