Arbor Metals (TSXV:ABR) has completed a Phase 1 diamond drilling program at its Jarnet lithium project in Québec.
The mining exploration company’s campaign saw the completion of 10 NQ2 holes, totalling a combined drilling length of 1,913 metres.
The drilling focused on six target areas within the Jarnet 1 and Jarnet 2 claim groups. These targets were selected based on anomalous soil and rock samples, along with geophysical interpretations performed earlier in the year. Hole depths ranged from 89 metres to 302 metres, and the drilling yielded 663 core samples. These samples will be sent for immediate laboratory analysis, including quality control material.
Granitic pegmatites were encountered and sampled in nine of the 10 drill holes, covering five of the six target areas. Notably, molybdenite was observed in pegmatitic quartz veins in five drill holes across three separate target zones. These veins are hosted in quartz monzonite.
Phase 1 drilling was performed by Forage et Construction Muskw, a joint venture between Forage Fusion Drilling and the Cree community, represented by Saskounan. Muskw, based in Chisasibi, Quebec, is co-owned and predominantly operated by local and Indigenous stakeholders. Muskw’s involvement exemplifies the success of local and Indigenous ownership and reinforces Arbor’s commitment to community engagement and economic development in the regions where it operates. Arbor extends its sincere gratitude to Muskw for their expertise, professionalism, and dedication to the 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,” Mark Ferguson, president of Arbor Metals, explained in a statement. “We look forward to receiving the assay results and continuing to explore the potential of this promising project.”
Located in the Corvette Lake lithium camp, Jarnet is made up of 47 map-designated claims covering 37.5 square kilometres, and is only 2.5 kilometres from Patriot Battery Metals’ (TSXV:PMET) Corvette property, which houses one of the 10 largest lithium pegmatite resources in the world.
Arbor Metals stock (TSXV:ABR) last traded at $0.35 per share and has risen more than 52 per cent since last week.
