The company is set to commence its inaugural drill program in August 2024 to test the extent of mineralization at the HW1 Showing.
Ophir Metals has announced the discovery of large spodumene pegmatite outcrops at its Pilipas Lithium Property in James Bay, Quebec. The primary discovery, HW1, spans over 150 meters in length and 30 meters in width and is open in multiple directions. Additional spodumene-bearing outcrops were found 500 meters south of HW1, covering a strike length of 450 meters.
Ophir plans a fully funded drill program for late summer/fall 2024, following the collection of over 460 grab samples. These samples are currently undergoing rush analysis at SGS Canada. The discovery is near existing infrastructure, which facilitates future exploration and development efforts.
CEO Shawn Westcott expressed excitement about the findings, highlighting the potential for further discoveries. The project benefits from its geological setting and proximity to essential infrastructure. The assay results from the initial exploration program are awaited to guide further exploration efforts.
