Jourdan Resources (JOR) has received permission to begin a drilling program on its Vallée Property in Val d’Or, Quebec.
The Quebec mining authority has authorized a 2,000-metre diamond drilling program.
Drilling activities are permitted to commence on September 1.
The diamond drilling program is intended to follow up on the results of a bulk sample collected in 2018 and the fence line drilled from 2011 along the western side of the property, which borders North American Lithium’s mine.
This new campaign aims at completing two more fence lines across the lithium-bearing pegmatite swarm which has been mined in the immediate vicinity to the west.
"We believe this drill program will allow the Company to move forward with its goal to become Quebec’s next near-term lithium producer," said Jourdan CEO Rene Bharti.
"We are excited to commence a new phase of exploration on our Vallée property. After having received the vastly encouraging results from the bulk sample, this is only the natural progression to explore and develop the extent of lithium mineralisation along the pegmatite swarm," said Jourdan Chairman Dr. Andreas Rompel.
Jourdan Resources is a Canadian junior mining exploration company focused on the acquisition, exploration, production, and development of mining properties, primarily in Quebec.
Jourdan Resources (JOR) is down 11.11 per cent, trading at $0.045 at 1:08 pm ET.
