Portofino Resources (TSXV:POR) has signed an agreement to acquire the Allison Lake North Lithium and Rare Elements property.
The property, located in northwestern Ontario, includes 4 claims totaling 1,618 hectares and contains significant attributes that are vital to forming lithium-bearing pegamite dykes.
“The Allison Lake North Property adds to our Lithium property portfolio and is a highly strategic acquisition for our company” David Tafel, CEO of Portofino Resources, said in a statement.
Tafel continued, “Based on the geological and strategic geographic setting of this property, we see a real potential to expand sources for these minerals in Northern Ontario.”
The Allison Lake North Property batholith contains high concentrations of rare elements, including lithium, beryllium, cesium, niobium and rubidium.
