Quebec – Lithium & Gold
Opinaca Project
- 100% owned 85,267ha land package, acquired from Kenorland Minerals in the James Bay region of Northern Quebec.
- 40km of strike length within the Opinaca sub province.
- Situated 40km south of Patriot Battery Metals Corvette lithium pegmatite discovery.
- Lithium/cesium and gold/arsenic anomalies from 2023 till sampling program. Largest gold anomaly is 5km x 4km.
- Next to recent JVs with Rio Tinto/Azimut ($115M) and Rio Tinto/Midland ($65M).Targa contractors have collected a total of 994 deep till samples on the Opinaca Project.
Opinaca Lithium/Cesium Anomaly
- Results of the 2023 till sampling program conducted by Kenorland Minerals identified overlapping lithium/cesium anomaly covering 2km x 1km.
- Anomaly is open in the up-ice direction and coincident with peraluminous pegmatites discovered in the field during brief stop by technical team in 2023.
- The Till sampling program consisted of a total of 994 deep till samples covering an area approximately 35km by 6km. Sample lines were set at 1km apart with samples taken at 150m intervals.
- Identified by field crews as having favorable geological features such as multiple peraluminous pegmatites containing garnet, muscovite, and apatite.
Opinaca Gold Anomaly
- Overlapping gold/arsenic/tungsten/antimony anomaly identified during 2023 till sampling program covering 5km x 4km and open up-ice.
- Secondary gold anomaly 3km x 1.5km
- Staked additional 41,672ha
- Claims now cover 30km of up-ice runway from the primary gold anomaly and >20km up-ice from the lithium and secondary gold anomaly
- Trains of gold in fine fraction till at other Quebec deposits studied typically 5-10km in length(*Data provided by Kenorland Minerals for Eleonore and Regnault deposits)
- Staked an additional 41,672ha to cover potential up-ice source.
Opinaca Geology & Magnetics
- The Opinaca Lithium Property (OLP) is located within the Opinaca sedimentary basin in James Bay, Quebec.
- Proximal to a major magnetic domain which juxtaposes highly magnetic rocks to the south, and low magnetic rocks to the north, an indication that a major structure is present in the area.
- OLP covers a discrete cluster of regional lithium and cesium lake sediment geochemical anomalies.
- These anomalies can suggest the presence of Li-Cs-Ta pegmatite mineralisation.
Lithium in lake sediments | Opinaca Lithium Project vs Corvette Deposit
- Lithium in lake sediment values have been seen to be much higher within the Opinaca Lithium property.
- his may indicate the presence of Li-Cs-Ta pegmatite mineralization within Targa Explorations OLP property.
- Anomalous Li samples are spatially coincident with anomalous Cs samples
Cesium in Lake Sediments | Opinaca Lithium Project vs Corvette Deposit
- Cesium (Cs) is often found with lithium within pegmatites (Li-Cs-Ta pegmatites).
- Cs in lake sediment samples is highly anomalous within the Opinaca Lithium Property and is comparable to Patriot Battery Metal’s Corvette deposit.
- This suggests that Li-Cs-Ta pegmatite mineralization may be present within the property.
