Geological Insights and Future Plans
The Vega Zone remains open in multiple directions, with an interpreted structural corridor extending approximately 3.3 km towards the CV12 Spodumene Pegmatite. This structural association potentially enhances the prospectivity of the region significantly, setting a framework for further drilling campaigns in 2025.
Darren L. Smith, Executive and Vice President of Exploration, remarked, “The summer-fall drilling at CV13 achieved its key objectives of significantly expanding the high-grade Vega Zone and identifying potential primary controls on its emplacement. This discovery has increased the prospectivity of these corridors considerably.”
Patriot’s CV13 Pegmatite forms part of its wholly owned Shaakichiuwaanaan Property in Quebec, which is recognised as one of the largest lithium pegmatite resources in the Americas.
