Patriot Battery Metals (PMET) has completed four drill holes in its ongoing drill program at the Corvette-FCI Property.  

The program is aimed at completing initial drill testing of the CV5 and CV6 spodumene pegmatites on the CV Lithium Trend, as well as drill testing the numerous copper-gold-silver occurrences along the Maven Trend.

The first four diamond drill holes were drilled at the CV5 and CV6 pegmatites, and the drill rig has now been mobilized to the eastern portions of the Maven Trend. There, drilling of the third hole at Maven, hole 7 of the overall drill program, is already in progress.

The Maven Trend had never been drill tested prior to the current program.

So far, surface samples from the Maven Trend are promising, showing up to 8.15 per cent copper, 1.33 g/t gold, and 171 g/t silver.

The company also recently completed a geophysical survey over the core area of the Maven Trend to refine initial drill hole locations.

Blair Way, president and director of Patriot Battery Metals, commented,

“It is very exciting to be putting holes down in the never before drilled CV and Maven trends and I look forward to providing further updates on our progress.”

The company will continue to release updates as assays are received.

“The lithium drill core processing is nearly complete,” said Mr. Way, “with the first two holes having been shipped to the lab, and I look forward to reporting assay results.”

Patriot Battery Metals is a mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition and development of mineral projects containing precious metals, base metals, platinum group elements, and lithium.

Patriot Battery Metals Inc. (PMET) is currently down 4.76 per cent, trading at $0.40 per share as of 3:35 pm ET.
