Omnia Metals (OM1) has called on Canadian consulting firm APEX Geoscience to help “rapidly” advance the Lac des Montagnes project — an OM1 acquisition target in Quebec.
APEX will provide in-country geological services and technical reporting as part of Omnia’s due diligence work.
OM1 said over 40 pegmatite granites had been mapped in the project area, of which seven were considered “high-priority” given their prospectivity for lithium.
As such, Omnia and APEX will review each priority target ahead of a planned “aggressive exploration push” following the completion of the acquisition.
Omnia Executive Director James Warren said APEX was the right fit to help prepare the company for its exploration plans that lay ahead in 2023.
“APEX Geoscience brings a wealth of local knowledge and a high-quality team which Omnia will leverage off as we begin our discovery journey at the Lac des Montagnes project,” Mr Warren said.
The company confirmed exploration would focus on mapped pegmatite granites that had previously been identified by the Government of Quebec’s Ministère des Ressources Naturelles et des Forêts (MERN) as highly prospective to host spodumene.
In February, Omnia agreed to acquire a 540 sqkm package with 110 kilometres of strike within the James bay region in Quebec.
“Our due diligence process continues to provide us with the confidence that the Lac des Montagnes project represents an excellent, belt-scale, exploration and discovery opportunity,” Mr Warren said.
He said there was an element of excitement ahead of exploration given the rapidly emerging James Bay region in Quebec.
Shares in OM1 were up 13.04 per cent and trading at 26 cents at 11:44 am AEDT.
