[{"type":"text","content":"Ophir Extends Chou Spodumene Pegmatite Showing and Discovers New Lithium Showing at the Radis Property, QuebecHighlights:Extension of the Chou Spodumene Pegmatite Showing through the discovery of an additional spodumene-bearing outcrop along strike, approximately 26 m south. New lithium-bearing pegmatite discovered 2.3 km to the east of Chou, termed the \"Figue Showing\", extending the total prospective lithium trend to approximately 4.5 km.Total of 30 pegmatite dykes have been mapped to date on the Property.Total of 48 pegmatite samples collected, including 11 containing visible lithium mineralization. Assays pending for all samples collected. Vast majority of Property and prospective trends remain to be assessed for lithium pegmatite.Shawn Wescott, Company CEO, comments: \"We are excited to continue to advance the Radis Project with the completion of the September sampling and mapping program. Over 30 pegmatite outcrops have been mapped and sampled to date on the Property, and both the Chou and Navet pegmatite mineralization remains open in multiple directions. We eagerly await the analytical results, particularly the channel samples from Chou, which will help us confirm the continuity of mineralization across the pegmatite body and help guide the planning for a maiden drill program in Q1 of 2024.\"Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 5, 2023) - Ophir Gold Corp. (TSXV: OPHR) (OTCQB: KPZIF) (FSE: 80M) (\"Ophir\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the completion of its 2023 surface exploration program at the Radis Lithium Property (the \"Property\" or \"Project\"), located in Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec. The Property is located approximately 70 km east-northeast of Wemindji and proximal to the all-season Billy-Diamond Highway and hydro-power line infrastructure in the region.Due to forest fires in the region over the summer period, preventing access to the Property (see news release dated June 5, 2023), the Company modified its fieldwork plans and successfully completed a more focused exploration program at the Property. The surface work, completed in September, followed up on the very successful 1.5 days of prospecting completed in early June 2023, which confirmed lithium mineralization at the Chou Spodumene Pegmatite (2.33% Li2O) and the Navet Spodumene Pegmatite (1.26% Li2O) (see n...
