PMET Resources Inc. carried out an extensive exploration drilling campaign in 2025 at its Shaakichiuwaanaan Property in Quebec, focusing on lithium-caesium-tantalum pegmatites. The campaign, which included step-out and infill drilling, as well as geomechanical drilling, resulted in significant discoveries, including new lithium and caesium-rich zones at CV4, CV5, CV12, and CV13 pegmatites. The CV5 Pegmatite emerged as one of the largest lithium resources in the Americas, with high-grade caesium mineralization also identified. This initiative reinforces PMET's position as a potential critical mineral leader in North America.
Key Points
PMET Resources Inc. conducted a comprehensive 2025 drilling campaign at the Shaakichiuwaanaan Property focusing on lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatites.
The campaign included testing of new targets, infill and step-out drilling, and geomechanical drilling in support of development, totaling 57,024 meters drilled.
Multiple new discoveries were made, notably at the CV4, CV5, CV12, and CV13 pegmatites, with significant lithium and caesium mineralization.
The CV5 Pegmatite is highlighted as holding one of the largest lithium resources in the Americas with a probable mineral reserve of 84.3 million tonnes at 1.26% Li2O.
A high-grade caesium discovery was made at CV5, with samples showing up to 17.92% Cs2O.
The 2025 campaign marked maiden drill testing at CV4, intersecting significant spodumene pegmatite widths.
Step-out drilling at CV13 extended the pegmatite northeast towards CV5, demonstrating promising lithium and caesium potential.
PMET highlights the robustness of its pegmatite system, with potential for continued discovery and development as a North American critical mineral powerhouse.
