Petrolympic enters agreement to acquire 100% interest in the Basserode and Fournière lithium properties near Val d’Or, Quebec
July 26 2022 - 7:30AM
Petrolympic Ltd. (TSX.V:PCQ) (OTC:PCQRF) (the “Company”) is
pleased to announce that it has entered into an option purchase
agreement with Mr. Glenn Griesbach to acquire a 100% interest in
the Basserode Lithium and Fournière Lithium properties (the
“Properties”) located in the emerging Cadillac-Pontiac lithium camp
in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region, southwest of Val d’Or, Quebec.
The Basserode Property consists of 123 claims
covering 7,092.8 hectares (70.1 km2). It is located 70 km
southwest of the city of Val-d’Or and 30 km south of the city of
Rouyn-Noranda, and spans over parts of the Basserode, Bellecombe,
and Caire townships. The Fournière Property is composed of 25
claims covering 1,440.9 hectares (14.4 km2). It is located
25 km southwest of the city of Val-d’Or and belongs to the
Desroberts and Fournière townships. Both Properties are covered by
a network of trails and logging roads allowing for good access and
effective exploration with reduced exploration costs.
The Basserode and Fournière Properties lie
within the rapidly emerging Cadillac-Pontiac lithium belt, where
large properties have recently been assembled by companies such as
Sayona Quebec Inc., Medaro Mining Corp., Brunswick Exploration
Inc., High Tide Resources Corp., Narrow River Resources Pty Ltd.,
NeoTerrex Corp., Renforth Resources Inc., Vision Lithium Inc., and
Winsome Resources Inc.
The Properties are nested in a highly favourable
geological context for lithium exploration in the geological
Pontiac Sub-province, which is located south of the Abitibi
Greenstone Belt and is bounded by the Larder Lake-Cadillac
Deformation Zone to the north and by the Grenville Front to the
south. Traditionally there has been very little exploration work
done in the rocks of the Pontiac, as attention has historically
been drawn to the gold and volcanogenic-type base metal deposits
found in the adjoining Abitibi Greenstone Belt. The Pontiac
consists of roughly equal amounts of metasediments and various
batholiths and plutons. Lithium mineralization have been identified
at several sites in the Pontiac, within spodumene-bearing
pegmatites dykes that cut both the metasediments and intrusive
rocks. Contrary to other sources of lithium such as brines and
clays, spodumene-bearing pegmatites contain higher-grades lithium
deposits with lower levels of impurities and more simple
metallurgical processes.
Preliminary discussions are underway for a Phase
1 exploration program to identify prospective pegmatite dykes,
including a proposed high-definition magnetic and radiometric
survey in conjunction with an interpretive survey utilizing
high-definition LIDAR data, to be followed by prospecting, mapping
and rock sampling surveys.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company may
acquire a 100% interest in the claims that comprise the Basserode
and Fournière properties by (i) making aggregate cash payments of
$35,000 over one year; (ii) issuing an aggregate of 1,000,000
common shares of the Company over one year; and (iii) issuing
500,000 common share purchase warrants (the
“Warrants”) of the Purchaser to the Optionor at
the next flow-through financing (if such financing occurs) at the
same strike price and conditions as for the investors in such
flow-through financing. Upon exercise of the Option by the Company,
the Optionor will retain a 2.0% net smelter returns royalty on the
two properties, 1.0% of which may be purchased by the Company for
$1,000,000.
Mendel Ekstein, CEO of Petrolympic, stated
“Petrolympic is pleased to add the Basserode and Fournière lithium
Properties to our expanding portfolio of potentially highly
rewarding exploration projects in Quebec.”
