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.

About Pocitos 1 Lithium Deposit
WSP Australia accomplished an replace of the NI 43-101 report initially written by Phillip Thomas QP in June 2023 and estimated on an inferred foundation utilizing a block mannequin with 6% and 14% porosity for the clay and sand lithologies respectively and a Mineral Useful resource Estimate (“MRE”) of 760,000 tonnes of Lithium Carbonate Equal (“LCE”) on the mixed Pocitos 1 (800 Ha) and neighbouring Pocitos 2 block (532 Ha). American Salars doesn’t personal the neighboring Pocitos 2 floor which includes 40% of the gross land package deal that makes up the useful resource nonetheless it’s notable that every one drilling up to now has been accomplished on American Salars’ Pocitos 1 block.

Pocitos 1 is roughly 800 hectares (1,977 acres) and is accessible by street. Collective exploration since 2017 totals over US$2.0 million in venture improvement, together with floor sampling, trenching, TEM and MT geophysics and the drilling of three wells that returned excellent brine circulation outcomes. Areas for rapid observe up drilling have already been recognized for upcoming exploration primarily based on the newest MT survey.

Lithium values of 169 ppm from drill gap PCT22-03 packer take a look at assayed from laboratory evaluation performed by Alex Stewart had been recorded through the venture’s December 2022 drill campaigns. A packer sampling system was utilized in HQ Diamond drill holes that had been drilled to a depth of as much as 409 metres. The circulation of brine was noticed to proceed for greater than 5 hours with all holes exhibiting distinctive brine circulation charges. An NI 43-101 up to date report accomplished by WSP Australia has been launched on the Pocitos 1 venture.
