This year’s now-complete winter drilling totals 62,518 metres across 166 holes, of which 132 holes remain to be reported, Patriot said in a release. All drilling completed up until April will be incorporated into an updated resource estimate for Corvette, expected in the third quarter. It will upgrade its resource from inferred to indicated, and include an initial resource for CV13, located east of CV5.
“The 2024 resource infill drilling at CV5 advanced very well over the recently completed winter program, with the first batch of assays producing some stellar results,” Darren L. Smith, Patriot’s vice president of exploration said. “We are now focused on refining the pegmatite geological model and domaining through integration of the core assay data as it comes in.”
CV5 at Corvette, located in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region, holds 109.2 million inferred tonnes at 1.42% Li2O, and 160 parts per million tantalum,…
