- A continuous 93 m interval of dominantly spodumene-bearing pegmatite in most westerly drill hole completed to date at the CV5 Pegmatite – CV23-184 (assays pending).
- A continuous 139 m interval of dominantly spodumene-bearing pegmatite in final drill hole of the 2023 winter program at the CV5 Pegmatite – CV23-190 (assays pending).
- Core sample assay results for 27 drill holes completed during the 2023 winter drill program remain to be reported.
Blair Way, Company President and CEO, comments: “The drill bit continues to deliver for us as confirmed by the strong grades and wide widths of mineralized pegmatite reported herein. With our last hole providing the longest pegmatite intersection of the winter drill program (139 m), we are certainly primed for continued success as we approach the beginning of our summer-fall drill program, scheduled to commence later this month. With core sample assays for numerous drill holes remaining to be received, the Company’s geological team is steadfast focused on final validation of the CV5 Pegmatite’s geological model, inclusive of all drill holes completed to date, ahead of an initial mineral resource estimate.”
VANCOUVER, British Columbia and SYDNEY, Australia, May 16, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Patriot Battery Metals Inc.
