Mont Royal Resources Limited ('Mont Royal', the 'Company') (ASX: MRZ) is pleased to advise that it has successfully completed its 2024 summer drilling program at the Bohier Lithium Project, located in the world-class James Bay region of Quebec, Canada.
The program was completed safely and within budget, with a total of eight (8) holes drilled for 744 metres
Bohier Project - 2024 Drilling Program A total of 111 samples were taken, with core samples transported to the IOS Geosciences facilities in Chicoutimi (near Quebec City) for sampling. The core will be sent from there to the assay laboratory, with assays expected to be returned in early October 2024. The drilling mostly targeted the main BHP-2 pegmatite, near the previously identified surface exposure and its western extension. One hole (BOH-24-05) targeted the BHP-3 gravity anomaly and the BHP-2 gravity anomaly at depth
Bohier Project - Next Steps Assay results from the drilling are expected to be received in early October 2024. In the meantime, the dyke geometry will be interpreted using 3D geological software, with a final report (including results from the 2024 prospecting program) expected in November. With preliminary analysis of the drill core suggesting rapid undulations in the dyke's dip, future drill holes may be located on both sides of the targeted anomalies to increase the chances of success.
Leran Project - 2024 Fieldwork Program Recently completed reconnaissance fieldwork at the Leran Project has delivered a number of new targets for follow-up exploration at the Petit Leran prospect. Petit Leran is the westernmost prospect on the property and was targeted based on the discovery of a spodumene-bearing boulder in 2023. No outcrops were observed due to the significant layer of glacial cover; however, several additional spodumene-mineralised blocks were found in the central part of the area, up-ice of the 2023 discovery. The size and shape of these blocks suggest a nearby source of spodumene mineralisation. Follow-up exploration work will be undertaken at Petit Leran to determine the source of the spodumene blocks.
