The hits just keep on coming over in Quebec. Well, the targets for potential big hits in this particular instance.
The company reports that a review of aeromagnetic and spectromagnetic survey results across its flagship Joule Property, within the 100%-owned La Grande lithium project in the James Bay region of Quebec, Canada, has generated significant new rare earths and uranium targets.
JBY notes that the “exceptional geophysics results” include elevated equivalent-Thorium (eTh) concentrations of up to 22ppm, typical of significant Rare Earth Element (REE) mineralisation, identified from radiometric surveys.
Additionally, Equivalent-Uranium (eU) readings of up to 29ppm were obtained from radiometric surveys, with significant readings identified in three specific zones the company intends to investigate further.
The La Grande project is located between 50km to 190km east of Radisson in northwest Quebec, Canada. And the Joule prospect – the project’s top asset, covers an area of 16,385 hectares along the Robert-Bourassa reservoir.
Encouraged by the prospect for significant and diverse mineralisation at its Joule site, JBY executive director Andrew Dornan said:
“While our exploration efforts will remain firmly focused on LCT pegmatites with potential for world-class lithium discoveries, the results obtained from aeromagnetic and spectromagnetic surveys cannot be ignored.”
