The 100% owned Lac Simard South venture is situated 80 km southwest of Sayona’s “Authier” lithium venture and spans the townships of Beauneville, Clérion, Delbreuil, and ChabertIt, accessible by gravel street off Route 117 close to the municipality of Cadillac. The claims within the jap sector are accessible by a community of logging roads; the southern and western sectors are accessible by boat or all-terrain car and has little or no overburden.
The Firm intends to start planning for a complete work program to determine targets and take a look at areas of rapid curiosity on this lively lithium exploration, manufacturing and processing area of mining pleasant Quebec. Sayona Mining Restricted’s Abitibi Hub, comprised of its North American lithium, Authier Lithium and Tansim lithium tasks are situated close by and boast a staggering combination measured and indicated useful resource of 111 million tonnes grading 1.14 % lithium, the most important lithium useful resource in Quebec.

Quartz-monzodioritic dykes and sills are noticed on the margin of this intrusion. The Ni-Cu Laforce exhibiting explored by Kerr Addison Gold Mines Ltd. and extra currently by Fieldex Exploration (2007) lies about 1 km south of the Property and is underlain by a big granite batholith intrusive. The exhibiting explored by Kerr Addison Gold Mines Ltd. is in a mass of amphibolite surrounded by pink granite however not removed from the western fringe of the granite batholith. The rock consists of gray feldspar hornblende, the hornblende constituting from 40 to 90% of the rock.
