[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 25, 2023 /CNW/ - Highlights Extension of the CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite by 650 m to the west. Multiple drill holes have returned continuous core-length spodumene pegmatite intersections exceeding 30 m, and up to 56.8 m (drill hole CV23-231). Multiple drill holes have returned composited core-length pegmatite intersections (i.e., sum of all pegmatite intervals within the hole) of over 90 m, to a peak of approximately 144 m (CV23-223). The CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite has now been traced continuously by drilling over a lateral distance of at least 4.35 km and remains open. Fifty-three (53) drill holes, totalling approximately 15,614 m, have been completed through September 18, 2023, at the Corvette Project. Thirty (30) holes (~10,757 m) completed at the CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite. Twenty (20) holes (~4,707 m) completed at the CV13 Spodumene Pegmatite. Three (3) holes (~150 m) completed at KM-270 camp site (for hydrogeology). Initial drill testing of the CV9 Spodumene Pegmatite cluster has recently commenced. Assays are currently pending, however with core sample shipments on a weekly basis it is anticipated that assay results will start to be received later in October. With such a high volume of samples from across multiple drill targets, the results will be collected and released by area for clarity. A total of seven (7) drill rigs are currently active at site – four (4) at CV5, two (2) at CV13, and one (1) at CV9. Drilling is anticipated to continue into December and will recommence after the holidays with ten (10) drill rigs targeted by mid January 2024. Patriot Battery Metals Inc. (the \"Company\" or \"Patriot\") (TSXV: PMET) (ASX: PMT) (OTCQX: PMETF) (FSE: R9GA) is pleased to provide an update on the ongoing 2023 summer-fall drill program being completed at its wholly owned Corvette Property (the \"Property\" or \"Project\"), located in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec. The Property hosts the CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite, with a maiden mineral resource estimate of 109.2 Mt at 1.42% Li2O inferred1 and is situated approximately 13.5 km south of the regional and all‑weather Trans-Taiga Road and powerline infrastructure. Since the completion of the winter drill program in April 2023 (through drill hole CV23-190), and the release of a maiden mineral resource estimate for th...
