10/01/2021 - 09:00 AM
VANCOUVER, BC , Oct. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - Megawatt Lithium and Battery Metals Corp . (CSE: MEGA) (FSE: WR20) (OTC PINK: WALRF) (the "Company " or "Megawatt ") is pleased to announce that it has contracted Orix Geoscience of Toronto, Ontario ("Orix") for an airborne drone survey at the Route 381 Lithium project in the James Bay , Quebec. The project is comprised of 40 mineral claims covering 2,126 hectares located in James Bay Territory, north of Matagami . The Route 381 Lithium Property is located directly west of and adjacent to Stria Lithium Inc.'s Pontax-Lithium project.
Orix will fly over the entire property with the objective of identifying and mapping the wider sections of dykes on the property which are prospective for lithium. In this way the airborne survey is intended to identify additional prospective areas for follow up sampling. This large property is of a size that the sampling program completed in August of this year investigated under 10% of the ground earmarked for exploration. The results of the August program did not generate positive results and do not warrant further geological investigation in the section of the property that the August survey addressed.
David Thornley-Hall , CEO of Megawatt, comments: "We look forward to receiving a proper overview of the potential of the property that an airborne survey can provide."
