Arbor Metals (TSXV: ABR, FWB: 432) completed its phase 1 diamond drilling program at its Jarnet lithium project, located in the Corvette Lake lithium camp in the James Bay region in northern Quebec. Northern Cree communities identify this area as Eeyou-Istchee.
The exploration company encountered granitic pegmatites. It sampled these nine of ten drill holes, covering six target areas. Arbor Metals observed molybdenite in pegmatitic quartz veins in five drill holes across three separate target zones.
The company reported phase 1 drilling effort successfully concluded with the completion of a total of 10 NQ2 holes, for a combined drilling length of 1,913 metres.
The drilling focused on six target areas within the Jarnet 1 and Jarnet 2 claim groups. They selected these targets based on anomalous soil and rock samples, in conjunction with geophysical interpretations from earlier in the year. Arbor Metals drilling teams reported ole depths ranged from eighty-nine metres to 302 metres. The company stated drilling yielded 663 core samples. They will be sending these samples for immediate lab analysis.
Mark Ferguson, CEO of Arbor Metals, stated. “We are thrilled to have completed this important Phase 1 drilling program at the Jarnet Lithium project. The successful completion of 1,913 metres of drilling and the discovery of pegmatite intersections is a positive step forward in advancing our lithium exploration efforts. We look forward to receiving the assay results and continuing to explore the potential of this promising project.”
Forage et Construction Muskw performed the phase 1 drilling. Muskw is a joint venture between Forage Fusion Drilling and the local Cree Indigenous community. Saskounan Construction represented the Cree community within the joint venture. Saskounan is a local general contractor specializing in civil, housing, infrastructure in the James Bay region/Eeyou Istchee.
Muskw – based in Chisasibi, Quebec – is co-owned and operated by local and Indigenous stakeholders. Muskw’s involvement showed the commitment of the parties involved to securing local and indigenous ownership.
The Jarnet, Corvette Lake, and St. Pierre lithium projects are located on properties in Quebec’s James Bay region. These properties make up eighty-three map-based claims, covering an area of around 5,606 ha. Arbor Metals noted these projects are contiguous to the Corvette /FCI property. Drilling teams on this property confirmed significant lithium mineralization representing one of the highest-profile lithium exploration projects in the sector.
