Musk Metals Begins Remote Sensing Work on Pontax South and Ile Interdite Lithium Properties in James Bay, Quebec

About this update from Germanium Mining Corp.

[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 18, 2023 / Musk Metals Corp. (\"Musk Metals\" or the \"Company\") (CSE:MUSK)(OTC PINK:EMSKF)(FSE:1I30) is pleased to announce that it has commenced remote sensing work on two lithium properties, the Pontax South and Île Interdite, strategically located in James Bay, Quebec. Description of Pontax South and Île Interdite Properties Regional Setting The Pontax South property consists of 105 claims covering 5,603 hectares (56 km2) and immediately adjacent to the south to Li-Ft Power Ltd.'s Pontax project which contains the most extensive Lithium anomaly within Li-Ft's Quebec portfolio. The Pontax South Property is also 60 km southwest of Stria Lithium's Pontax project and 90 km southwest of Brunswick Exploration Inc.'s Anatacau West project. The Causabiscau Shear Zone transects the Pontax South property over 16 km and another regional Shear Zone, oriented E-W, crosscuts the property over 6 km. Many Lithium deposits and occurrences are closely and spatially associated to shear zones, evidencing entrapment, and tend to form at or near the contact of mafic, ultramafic or amphibolite rocks which are reported at Pontax South. Figure 1: Pontax South Property The Ile Interdite property consists of 20 claims covering 1,089 hectares (10.9 km2) and extends over 5 km along the Nottaway River Shear Zone, a prominent regional structure that can be followed over 200 km. Ile Interdite is near the contact between the Nemiscau Sedimentary and the Opatica Pluto-Volcanic Sub-Provinces, consisting of paragneiss and amphibolite rocks. The Ile Interdite property hosts an important beryl showing that was identified in the 1960's by the same group of Quebec government geologists who reported spodumene at both Whabouchi and Cyr deposit's locations. Beryl is a relatively rare pathfinder mineral for lithium, often observed in pegmatites. At Ile Interdite, beryl is disseminated in a pegmatite. Figure 2: Ile Interdite Property Satellite Imagery Study The remote sensing work is expected to be completed by end of November 2023 and will consist of establishing spectral signatures for direct identification of lithium-bearing minerals that have distinctive emission bands in the thermal spectrum. Lithium-bearing minerals, such as spodumene, are difficult to identify visually and to distinguish from common rock forming silicate ...
