The Project is recognized as being highly prospective for the discovery of new LCT–pegmatites as it has never been subject to systematic exploration and drilling using modern exploration techniques.\n \n \n The Company has identified beryl and tantalum within pegmatites within the limited exploration completed to-date during this visit, confirming the presence of an evolved lithium-cesium-tantalum (\"LCT\") system. The identification of beryl and tantalum is a key finding that confirms that the Gathering Lake Project has a highly evolved LCT–system. As tantalum in particular is present in more evolved phases within an LCT–system, this indicates that the system could contain spodumene, the key lithium-bearing mineral in pegmatites.\n \n \n This is the third project the Company has optioned where it has confirmed a potential spodumene-bearing system. An evolved LCT-system was confirmed to be present recently through the identification of beryl-pegmatites on its initial site visit at the Company's Mead Project (see news release dated\n \n \n June 1, 2023\n \n \n ), and the\n \n White Willow Project\n \n is documented to have a high-grade coarse-grained tantalite showing with 14.64% T...
