| Ryan only staked ground that had A LOT of reported lithium from that huge gov't survey--with lake sediment samples running up to 60 ppm (parts per million) which puts it in the 99.5% percentile of the entire provincial dataset. There are 130,000 lithium samples in the Quebec database!! Nobody else thought to do this work. There is only a VERY SMALL PATCH of Quebec known to have high concentrations of these high grade lithium sediments—and Scout has them. Scout Minerals’ 1,399 km2 land package is only 0.0009% of Quebec’s 1.54 million km2. Shawn Ryan and Scout Minerals have literally found the needle in a haystack! “The density of this geo-chemical surveying, this very high level of geo-chemistry, 99.5 percentile is something that you've hardly ever seen before,” Ryan told me in an interview recently. “The scale and size of these pegmatites (the host rock for lithium--KS) is unbelievable. We are thinking that this has the ability to be a crazy dense version of mineralized dikes. “We think this is going to be a camp and there's going to be multiple discoveries here.” Ryan has been so successful because he thinks differently, and does his homework. And he partnered with Scout Minerals—a stock with only 15 million shares out. You read that right—Shawn Ryan’s entire favourite land package—all his research, all his time—is going into a tiny company with ONLY FIFTEEN MILLION SHARES OUT. Land with Mega-value potential and micro-cap valuation. This land package is a geologist’s dream! With all the Quebec gov’t sampling—130,000 of them--you KNOW there is high grade lithium all over the place. That’s a great place to start. There’s almost 24 hours of daylight in the summer to cover ALL the ground quickly. There’s no overburden! You can see the outcropping rocks out in the open for miles and miles and miles! Field workers fan out across this land with hand-held XRF technology (X-Ray Fluorescence) and can test if there are indications of lithium in any pegmatite dykes they find. If yes, they keep following that dyke taking sample after sample. XRF is a very cool tech, which can speed up discovery dramatically. Scout will also bring in a special low-cost drill that uses no water—keeping permitting, costs and environmental footprint to a minimum. So much outcrop. So much daylight. So much high-tech. When it starts, it will happen fast. The other good thing here? The Quebec gov't refunds 40% of the exploration dollars here. For every $10 million spent, they get $4 million back--enough to fund almost an entire season of exploration! There are few (if any) other places on earth that financially supports mining that much! This is HUGE for shareholders. Folks, you really don’t need to know anything else. I will tell you one more thing—this is one of the best geological detective stories I’ve ever written about. Ryan went through all the data—that’s available to everybody—and parsed it in a way nobody else did. He found the high-grade lithium concentrations—that happened to be in a completely new district where nobody was looking. And it was all close to a port, close to a mine, with no overburden, just sitting out in the open. All the clues were in plain sight, but only he did the work to find them and the thinking to put it together. This stock has not had any kind of run up. Scout just announced they had acquired Ryan's large, high-grade property package a few days ago. This is the first week on a stock with only 15 million shares out partnered with one of the world's most successful prospectors on one of his most exciting geological stories EVER. I have led you to the EXACT place where Shawn Ryan is investing and exploring. He believes he has the biggest lithium bullseye in Quebec. He has put these properties into Scout Minerals, and is heading up the work program to turn these incredible targets into several bona fide new lithium discoveries. It’s going to be a very exciting summer for shareholders of Scout Minerals. |
