Xplore Announces Airborne Survey of Surge Lithium Property

Xplore Announces Airborne Survey of Surge Lithium Property

Xplore Resources Corp. (TSXV: XPLR) ("Xplore" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that it has contracted Prospectair Geosurveys Inc. ("Prospectair") of Gatineau, Quebec to complete a high-resolution heliborne magnetic survey of the recently optioned 3416 ha lithium Surge Property (the "Property" or "Surge") located in the Patricia Mining District, Ontario, Canada approximately 150 kms east of Red Lake, Ontario.

Wes Hanson, P.Geo., President and CEO of Xplore Resources, commented, "We were fortunate to be able to join a consortium of lithium focused exploration companies who have aggressively acquired claims in the region, largely due to the discovery potential for lithium bearing pegmatites associated with the Allison Lake batholith and Root Lake pegmatite group. Participating in this consortium not only reduces the overall costs of the survey for all participants, but more importantly, it will generate preliminary results by mid-May, allowing us the opportunity to prioritize areas of interest for field follow up and sampling during the coming field season. That allows us to double down on field evaluation as our Perrigo Lake claim block, acquired initially for its gold potential, lies immediately west and adjacent to the Allison Lake Batholith, giving us two properties in this dynamic region. We are very encouraged by the commitments outlined in Ontario's recently announced Critical Minerals Strategy, focused on positioning the province to benefit from the anticipated exponential growth of electric vehicle manufacturing. This includes financial support for the exploration for and development of critical battery metals, including lithium, throughout northern Ontario."

Surge Property

Surge is located 12 kms east of the Root Lake pegmatite group which includes the McCombe lithium deposit, (historic mineral resource of 2.3 million tons @ 1.3% Li20 as per Mulligan R., Geological Survey of Canada, 1965 (Ref. Figure 2.0). The Root Lake pegmatite group lies within the Pakwash - Lake St. Joseph ("PLSJ") rare element pegmatite trend, a 20 km wide, +100 km long trend containing multiple peraluminous (Al-rich) granitic intrusions, rare earth pegmatites and lithium bearing pegmatites, including the Allison Lake batholith, a large, tadpole shaped, peraluminous granitic intrusive described by the Ontario Geological Survey ("OGS") in OFR 6099 (2003) as "the largest known fertile peraluminous granite mass in northwestern Ontario" (Ref. Figure 1.0). The southeast trending tail of the Allison Lake batholith trends into the PLSJ and a series of peraluminous granitic intrusions, including the one dominating the center of the Surge claims, outcrop along this E-W trend.

Overview

It’s no secret that finding high-potential, early-stage mining companies is a real challenge. And unlike tech’s unicorns and high valuations, few industries require the perfect mix of experience, funding and strategy quite like the mining sector. Success in the mining industry is all about accurate sampling and data, execution, timing and favorable market conditions.

Xplore Resources (TSXV:XPLR) is an early-stage company that is focused on giving stakeholders the chance to invest on the ground floor in the copper sector and other precious metals sectors as they continue to expand their portfolio. The company’s management team leverages decades of executive and senior management experience across all aspects of mining and production — including exploration, discovery, mine construction and operation — to find and build high-value projects.

Xplore Reports 7.83 g/t Au in Till at Upper Red Lake

Xplore Resources Corp. (TSXV: XPLR) ("Xplore or the "Company"), is pleased to announce anomalous gold in till sample results obtained from the Upper Red Lake Property (the "Property" or "URL") located in the Red Lake Mining District, Ontario.

  • Reconnaissance gold in till sampling confirms highly anomalous gold grain counts
  • 75% of the sample population returned gold grain counts in the upper decile of regional till sampling completed by the Geological Survey of Canada ("GSC")
  • Pristine and modified gold grains comprise +60% of population
  • Best gold in till results coincident with areas of magnetic destruction
  • Results include 7834 ppb Au, the highest gold tenor returned to date within the claims
  • Adjacent to Prosper Gold's Golden Sidewalk gold in till anomaly

Waldo Sciences Inc., Vernon, B.C. ("Waldo"), completed a two-week reconnaissance mapping and sampling program on the Property in October 2021. Onset of winter conditions limited Waldo's coverage to the C1, 2 and 3 target areas (Ref. December 14, 2021, XPLR Press Release). Target C1, a 2200 meter linear, east-west trending magnetic high, coincident with an intrusive-greenstone contact was highlighted by the gold in till results. Targets C2 and C3 further south may represent the continuation of Prosper Gold Corporations' "Golden Corridor" target, a 7 km x 0.5 km gold in till anomaly currently being drilled to the east of Upper Red Lake.
