[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC, April 4, 2023 /CNW/ - Megawatt Lithium and Battery Metals Corp. (CSE: MEGA) (FSE: WR20) (OTCQB: WALRF) (the \"Company\" or \"Megawatt\") is pleased to announce the results of the soil sampling program at the Mistumis project in the James Bay Region, Quebec. During late 2022 the company collected 1,918 soil geochemistry samples. The samples were analyzed for lithium and for correlations with lithium Pathfinder elements, Li-Cs-Rb & Mg-Fe-Co association. The expansive Mistumis project consists of 229 mineral exploration claims prospective for lithium covering an area of 12,116 hectares or 121 square kms in the prolific James Bay Region. The purpose of the 2022-2023 program was to explore the potential for lithium mineralization under cover and near surface by building a soil geochemical data base in conjunction with an airborne geophysical program within the project boundaries. Numerous general and broad areas of anomalism for lithium were identified within the boundaries of the project. Strong lithium pathfinder correlation was also identified, particularly at Anomaly A, with Caesium and Rubidium. Anomaly A has strong correlation with Cs and Rb Some correlation is noted with mafic elements (Mg, Fe, Co) which may suggest the presence of Li-bearing amphibole Holmquisite (Li2(Mg,Fe)3Al2Si8O22(OH)2) Holmquisite has been used as an exploration vector in other LCT pegmatite regions (i.e., Tanco) The Company notes encouraging till / soil sampling results in relation to the similar exploration strategy undertaken at Lift Power's (CSE: LIFT) Pontax and Moyenne projects in the region. The Mistumis Property is located in the southern region of the Middle and Lower Eastmain Greenstone Belt (MLEGB), approximately 10 km to the northwest of the Rose Lithium-Tantalum Project (Critical Elements Lithium Corporation; 34.2 Mt @ 0.9% Li2O). Similar to the Rose Lithium-Tantalum Project, the Mistumis Property is mainly comprised of felsic intrusive lithologies (i.e., monzogranite, granodiorite, tonalite) with crosscutting diabase intrusions. Irregular pegmatite showings in contact with the felsic intrusives on the Mistumis Property were previously identified through regional-scale government mapping.
