[{"type":"text","content":" TORONTO, Dec. 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- JOURDAN RESOURCES INC. (TSXV: JOR; OTCQB: JORF; FRA: 2JR1) (“Jourdan” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce the completion of a stripping, mapping and sampling campaign on its Baillargé property (see Fig.1). The already known pegmatite occurrences located on the property have been stripped, mapped and sampled along their strike extent, which as a result of such activities is now better understood. The new stripping program has resulted in a significant strike extension of the known spodumene-bearing dykes. (see Fig.2). Figure 1: Baillargé property with historic lithium occurrences.

The stripping program was executed by GeoTasks Inc.’s technical team from Sudbury, Ontario, and their technical team was supervised by OGQ compliant senior geologists. Approximately 2,400 m2 were stripped, mapped, and sampled along the pegmatites. The Baillargé property is located in the Province of Quebec, in Abitibi, in the township of La Corne on Map 32 C 05 (NTS). It consists of 35 claims and is located 38 kilometres north of the town of Val-d’Or and at about 30 kilometres southwest of the village of Barraute. The property also covers about three-quarters of Lake Baillargé. The area comprises 1,299 hectares in total. Figure 3: Up to 50-centimetre long spodumene crystals found in the pegmatite outcrops at the Baillargé property. Mapping and sampling have been conducted around these veins to determine their maximum strike extents, which as a result of such activities are now better understood. Baillargé claims surround the site of the former producing La Corne Molybdenum mine. The La Corne mine was operated intermittently by Molybdia Corporation Limited from 1951 to 1972 as an underground mine. Total production during this period was 3,838,844 tons of ore at a head grade of 0.33% MoS2 (6.6 lbs/ ton) and 0.040% bismuth (0.80 lbs/ton). Source: (GM 28882). The mineralisation occurs in a swarm of quartz-pegmatite veins hosted by a large sill or stock of biotite granite. The granite appears to be a northeast-trending body about 1,000 metres long and located within the Preissac-Lacorne batholith. In the upper levels of the La Corne Molybdenum mine, the mineralisation appears to be approximatel...
