Montreal, November 7, 2023 – Quebec Precious Metals Corporation (TSX.V: QPM, FSE: YXEP, OTC-BB: CJCFF) (“QPM” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce the completion of a follow-up prospecting program in the area of the recent Ninaaskumuwin spodumene discovery (see press release October 24, 2023) consisting of geological mapping, structural interpretation and grab sampling. The geological interpretation will be disclosed once available. The first assay values from the prospecting campaign at Elmer East are expected towards the end of November. Photos of the spodumene discovery are presented in Figures 1, 2 and 3, They show large spodumene crystals which are present in the pegmatite rock.
In view of the strong potential lithium potential identified on the high priority targets at the Elmer East project, QPM has expanded the project by staking 40 new claims adjacent to the other areas of interest (see Figure 4). The new claims were added near the Ninaaskumuwin discovery. QPM now has a total of 1,298 claims covering 676 km2, 100% owned by the Corporation in the Eeyou-Istchee James Bay region of Quebec.
“We are even more enthusiastic about the lithium exploration potential at Elmer East, and look forward to receiving the analytical results and plan the next stage of field work.”, commented Normand Champigny, CEO of QPM.
The field work was performed by GeoVector Management Inc. with the guidance of ALS GoldSpot Discoveries Ltd.
