[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC, March 14, 2024 /CNW/ - Targa Exploration Corp. (CSE: TEX) (FRA: V6Y) (OTCQB: TRGEF) (\"Targa\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce details for its summer 2024 exploration programs. The Company and its contractors will be conducting field work across the Targa's portfolio of gold and lithium assets in Canada, with work scheduled to begin in May 2024. Highlights Ongoing till sampling and prospecting up-ice from 5km x 4km gold anomaly at Opinaca Additional till sampling and prospecting near Opinaca lithium anomaly Field mapping and lithium prospecting at Ontario and Prince Albert Lake, Saskatchewan Radiometric survey at White Metal uranium/lithium property in Saskatchewan \"2023 was a company building year for Targa, where our focus was on acquiring assets and building a strong corporate and technical team,\" commented Cameron Tymstra, CEO. \"For 2024, our focus is squarely set on discovery making. The lion's share of our exploration budget this year is dedicated to two phases of work at Opinaca, where last year's till sampling uncovered a very large gold anomaly in the centre of the project and additional gold and lithium anomalies to the east. Our plans are to continue the till sample grid to identify the heads of the gold and lithium till trains and put boots on the ground to prospect for boulders and mineralized outcrop up-ice from these anomalies. Targa's goal this summer is to identify drill targets for either a winter or summer 2025 drill program. We will also be initiating prospecting programs on our other lithium assets in Ontario and Saskatchewan.\" Opinaca Exploration Program Work during summer of 2024 at the Opinaca project in Quebec will take place in two phases, with the team at Kenorland Minerals acting as project operators. The primary goals of the program are to narrow down the search area of the possible bedrock source locations in Phase 1 and to identify potential drill targets during Phase 2. Phase 1 Beginning in June, the first phase of work will consist of collecting approximately 2,000 till samples, continuing the 2023 sample grid program up-ice (east-northeast) from the gold and lithium anomalies discovered last year. Samples will continue to be taken 150m apart along lines with a 1km spacing. Targa's in-house technical team will also be in the field during till sam...
