The natural endowment of the region continues to drive mineral exploration.

Sphinx Resources is leveraging several plays in the Pontiac region of southwestern Quebec.

The PFS outlined an operation producing 25,000 tonnes per year of battery-grade lithium carbonate over a 30-year mine life.

New drill results from the Black Pine project in Idaho include high-grade intervals of Carlin-style oxide gold mineralization.

Drill highlights include 2.05 g/t gold-equivalent over 124 metres.

To date, the company has identified five zones of mineralization within the 12-km Nickel Mountain gabbroic complex.

The miner will conduct a minimum 1000-metre diamond drill program to test the mineralization potential of a corridor within the property.
