ROUYN-NORANDA, Jan. 20, 2023 - Visible Gold Mines Inc. (TSXV: VGD) (FSE: 3V41) is pleased to report that SPOD Lithium's (CSE: SPOD) field crews have identified Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum (LCT) pegmatites on optioned Visible Gold Mines' MegaLi lithium project, located in the James Bay region, Québec (the "Megali Property") (see SPOD Lithium press release dated January 20, 2023) and (Visible Gold Mines Press release dated August 4, 2022). Numerous claim blocks share their borders with Patriot Battery Metals Inc.'s Corvette property claims. The MegaLi Property is located approximately fifty (50) kilometres southwest of the LG4 reservoir.
The primary objective of the program conducted by SPOD Lithium was to evaluate the MegaLi Property's lithium potential and uncover new LCT pegmatites by geological mapping and sampling. The field trip was executed between October 23 and October 28, 2022 and despite some challenging weather conditions, Visible Gold Mines is very pleased with the positive results obtained this early in the exploration cycle and is looking forward to the follow up exploration program currently being planned by SPOD Lithium.
The Dahrouge Geological Consulting's report prepared in connection with the initial exploration program on the MegaLi Property which was provided to Visible Gold Mines by SPOD Lithium highlighted that claims Block A, C and D merit a more intensive follow up. Results obtained from claim Block D can be considered as a true exploration success with Tantalum (Ta) results up to 114 ppm and Cesium (Cs) results up to 126 ppm. This level of enrichment, combined with high Rubidium (Rb) values of 2,480 ppm, is a proximity indicator for spodumene bearing pegmatites. The combination of these strong geochemical signatures within the presence of large pegmatites, highlights similarities with the CV pegmatite system. Block C also displays a strong Rb-Ta anomaly, possibly related to the same five kilometre trend. Bloc A also highlights a cluster of Rb-Ta anomalies forming a pluri-kilometric trend located close to a north-east Proterozoic dyke, easily recognizable by a strong magnetic signature. Due to the challenging weather conditions, claim Block F was not visited and marked the end of the initial exploration program.
Martin Dallaire, President and Chief Executive Officer of Visible Gold Mines, stated, " I look forward to this next program on MegaLi and I am very optimistic of what we will discover on Block C. The MegaLi project combined with our 100% NataLi project near the Rose lithium deposit and 100% CarLi project adjacent to Cosmos firmly positioned Visible Gold Mines as a leader in the Lithium space in the "very hot" James Bay area".
Visible Gold Mines would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate Patriot Battery Metals for their drill results announced earlier this week in hole CV22-083 (see Patriot Battery Metals press release dated January 18, 2023), which returned a 156.9 metre interval grading 2.12% LiO2 at the CV5 pegmatite. The CV5 LCT pegmatite is located less than three kilometres north-east from Block C of the MegaLi Property.
Visible Gold Mines' 100% owned MegaLi project is currently under option with SPOD Lithium and consists of 78 mining claims covering a total area of 3,996.67 hectares (40 square kilometers). The MegaLi Property is adjacent to Patriots Corvette project (see map above) and located proximal to the Trans-Taiga Road, airport and power line infrastructural corridor in the James Bay region in the province of Québec.
