Gorman
Lithium and Critical Minerals Project

Canada

324km² of high-grade lithium potential in NW Ontario, Canada, featuring a proven mineralised trend and world-class surface grades.

Project Highlights

  • Located in an emerging lithium district along strike from Frontier Lithium’s (TSXV: FL) tier-one PAK lithium project (58.5Mt @ 1.5% Li2O)1, one of North America’s largest and highest grade spodumene resources.
  • Covers 79 single and multi-cell claims with 324km2 lithium acreage.
  • High-grade Rock chip and channel sampling has confirmed values of >3% Li20 (up to 3.71% Li20) across the G0-G3 pegmatites, including a standout intercept of 5.0m @ 2.0% Li20) at G2.
  • Additional LCT and rare metals pegmatites, recently identified by Midex Resources occur within 2.5 to 23km of PAT’s Gorman Project.

The Gorman Project covers a ~45km long segment of the Favourable Lake greenstone belt, which forms part of the Sachigo Terrane, Archean Superior Craton. The terrane is bound by the Bearhead Lake fault zone, a regional-scale structure that is interpreted as a first-order control on the emplacement of LCT pegmatites and their parental granitic intrusions.

 

The Project captures several mapped pegmatitic granite occurrences, including a potentially fertile, peraluminous, coarse grained to pegmatitic two-mica granite, which is similar in nature to and along strike from the Pakeagama Lake granite that hosts Frontier Lithium’s PAK deposit. Fertile granites are interpreted to be the parental rocks that give rise to LCT pegmatites.
