Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire – May 31, 2022 – Manning Ventures Inc. (the “Company” or “Manning”) (CSE:MANN); (FRA:1H5); (US:MANVF) is pleased to announce that its initial exploration program at the Company’s 100%-owned Bounty Lithium Property (the “Property”), located in the James Bay Lithium District of northern Quebec, has concluded.
The 7,544 hectare Property was staked due to its prospective nature for hosting hard-rock, pegmatite-hosted lithium mineralization. It was selected as a result of a regional targeting method which included the review of pegmatite occurrences across Quebec with the appropriate indicator-mineralogy and indicator-chemistry for hosting Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum (LCT) style, spodumene-bearing pegmatites, within favourable host-rocks. The Property is host to several known pegmatite outcrops, but the project remains underexplored as little to no lithium-focused work has ever been conducted on the Property.
The initial reconnaissance scale exploration covered 30 of the original 62 pegmatite target areas, with detailed examination of each outcrop and the collection of 143 pegmatite and/or intrusive rock samples and 4 rock samples with sulphide mineralization for possible gold or base metals potential.
All samples will immediately be shipped to SGS Canada’s laboratory in Lakefield, ON, for determination of the lithium and indicator mineralogy content and gold and/or base metal content. Results of the analytical will be reported as they are received, reviewed, and verified.
“We look forward to the analytical results of this initial sampling campaign as we roll out our lithium exploration strategy in one of the most promising lithium districts in Canada,” said Alex Klenman, CEO. “We are located in the heart of the James Bay Lithium district, home to several large-scale advanced-stage projects and new discoveries, and we’ve only just begun to test Bounty. We have a lot of ground left to explore and many more pegmatites to analyze,” continued Mr. Klenman.
The James Bay Pegmatite District of Quebec is known to host several large lithium pegmatite deposits including:
- James Bay Project of Allkem,
- Corvette Property of Patriot Battery Metals,
- Rose Lithium-Tantalum Deposit of Critical Elements Lithium Corp; and
- Whabouchi Lithium Deposit of Nemaska Lithium
Spodumene bearing pegmatites are important sources of hard rock lithium. With rising EV demand lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonatite prices have risen by over 200% during 2021. Despite the price rises the forecast lithium market imbalance will continue to increase dramatically in coming years (Allkem, CEO Presentation, 2021).
