Recharge Metals Limited (ASX: REC) has recommenced fieldwork at its 100%-owned Wapistan Lithium Project in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay Region of Québec, Canada.

This comes after only 5km of the 13km greenstone belt in the Wapistan West claim block was mapped and sampled during the 2023 field season. A wildfire emergency in the James Bay area meant only “walk-in, walk-out” traverses were possible.

This led to a compressed exploration season for all operators in the region.

Recharge said it was delighted to now commence assessment of the remaining 8kms of the greenstone belt.

Recharge’s Managing Director, Felicity Repacholi, commented: “We are excited to get back on the ground at Wapistan, following the melt of the snow and ice, and to resume our groundwork at what we believe to be the most prospective ground within the project.

“We are pleased to be working again with Dahrouge Geological, who are already in the region and therefore able to quickly and efficiently complete this work program.

“The Eeyou Istchee James Bay region, within which Wapistan in located, remains a hotspot for exploration and development stage lithium projects. Results from the previous season at Wapistan were encouraging, and we look forward to updating investors on the results of this work program.”

REC last traded at 3.5 cents.
