Good morning tribe! As our focus gets shifted towards the five new drill sites in the NV mining region, lets not forget what we have in Canada!
Plan of Operation: Quebec
Abigail Lithium Property, Quebec
The Company's Quebec exploration target in 2013 is expected to be the Abigail Lithium Property (the “Abigail Property”) situated within and adjacent to Nemaska Exploration's Whabouchi Lithium discovery (as referenced in the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 3, 2010). The Abigail Property is located in a gneissic formation between the Lac des Montagnes volcano-sedimentary belt and the Champion Lake granitoids. The principal exploration target for the Abigail Property is lithium-bearing spodumene and the Abigail Property is on strike with the high-grade spodumene-bearing pegmatite located on the Whabouchi property. The Abigail Property is underlain by the same gneissic formation that hosts the Lac Arques SW pegmatite showings with 1,189 ppm Th and 563 ppm U3O8. Magmatic NI-Cu type deposit associated with ultramafic intrusions may also be found. The Whabouchi spodumene-bearing pegmatite is located in a low magnetic anomaly on the flank of a medium magnetic high. A high magnetic anomaly located about one km north of the Whabouchi pegmatite can be interpreted as an ultramafic intrusion. An airborne survey over the Abigail Property could lead to the discovery of the same magnetic signature and help locate pegmatite and ultramafic intrusions of the Whabouchi and Nisk-1 type. In addition, the Abigail Property is easily accessible with year round roads, electrical power intersecting the Abigail Property from the town of Nemaska, cell phone service throughout the region, and a local airport in the town of Nemaska.
Nemaska's Whabouchi deposit continues to confirm high-grade channel samples illustrating the width of the main mineralized zone. Furthermore, Nemaska has recently announced it is partnering with Chengdu Tianqi (Not us but look at potential with lithium!). Tianqi is the largest lithium battery material provider in China that uses spodumene concentrate as its raw material to produce lithium carbonate and has extensive expertise in lithium products. This relationship validates Nemaska's deposit and signals the strong potential for their lithium assets in the James Bay region(that's us as well!!).
