Ontario – Lithium
Sky Lake & Slim Jim Projects
The Slim Jim and Sky Lake project cover a combined 14,400ha in northwestern Ontario in an area considered prospective for LCT pegmatites by the Ontario Geological Survey. Located 60km east of the town of Longlac, both projects occur within the Quetico Subprovince which is home to the Georgia Lake and Jackpot lithium deposits and many other lithium pegmatite occurrences. Both projects are road-accessible with local access to a provincial highway, rail and power lines. Local geology is dominated by metasediments that are intruded by peraluminous granites and pegmatites.
SLIM JIM
- The Slim Jim project is 11,560ha in size and covers numerous lake sediment samples with anomalous Li, Cs, Rb, and Ta values. The project sits along the northern edge of a historically mapped muscovite-bearing pegmatitic granite intrusion.
- 2023 fieldwork around the more easily accessible western and northern claims of the project identified many peraluminous pegmatites and including one with a whole-rock sample returning a niobium value of 2500ppm.
- During a follow-up field trip in May 2024, geologists accessed the southern and eastern claim blocks with aid of a helicopter and returned to the area with the niobium enriched pegmatite sample to take additional chip and channel samples of the local pegmatites. Sample results are pending at the lab and are expected later in the summer of 2024
SKY LAKE
- The 2,842ha Sky Lake claim block covers a cluster of lake sediment samples with elevated Li, Cs, Rb, and Ta values in close proximity to an intruding muscovite granite.
- Fieldwork conducted in 2023 identified peraluminous pegmatites with tourmaline, beryl, and columbite.
- The project has excellent road access through a logging road network that covers the property.
- Follow up work in May of 2024 consisted of additional outcrop sampling with results expected mid-summer 2024.
