Shaakichiuwaanaan rapidly evolving into an emerging critical minerals powerhouse, with workstreams now underway on caesium, tantalum, and gallium opportunities MONTREAL , June 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - June 26, 2025 – Sydney, Australia Highlights Emerging and high-growth applications of tantalum are being driven by both technological innovation and strategic shifts in global industries. Shaakichiuwaanaan ranks as a top-5 1 tantalum pegmatite Mineral Resource 2 globally in terms of both grade and tonnage: Indicated: 108.0 Mt at 1.40% Li2O, 166 ppm Ta2O5 , and 66 ppm Ga.
Identification of other potential high-value by-products within the existing lithium Mineral Resource shows the highly evolved pegmatites at Shaakichiuwaanaan as a potential major host for further critical metals. VANCOUVER, BC , June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - June 11, 2025 – Sydney, Australia HIGHLIGHTS Pollucite confirmed as the principal mineral host for the caesium discovered recently at both the Vega and Rigel zones at the CV13 Pegmatite: Pollucite is considered the optimal mineral host for caesium in Li-Cs-Ta ("LCT") pegmatites due to its high caesium content (typically >30%) and its relative ease of processing and recovery.

Highlights further substantial discovery upside at Shaakichiuwaanaan Highlights Significant new spodumene pegmatite cluster discovered from surface exploration within the Shaakichiuwaanaan Property in Quebec, Canada. The new discovery, named "CV15", sits along geological trend from the CV9-CV10-CV14 spodumene pegmatites and ~20 km west of the cornerstone CV5 Deposit: Outcrop sample assays of 2.11% Li2O, 1.55% Li2O, and 1.02% Li2O.
Highlights Wide, high-grade spodumene pegmatite intercepts received from the extensive summer-fall 2024 in-fill drill program at CV5 complete the drill dataset required to support the upcoming Feasibility Study and maiden Ore Reserve: 153.8 m at 2.00% Li2O, including 55.4 m at 3.42% Li2O (CV24-733). 142.9 m at 1.77% Li2O, including 35.2 m at 3.36% Li2O (CV24-719).
Highlights The 2025 winter drill program at the Shaakichiuwaanaan Property is well underway, targeting a minimum of 15,000 m over the January to April period. The winter drill program has three primary objectives: Extend the high-grade Vega Zone (CV13 Pegmatite) westward along an interpreted structural corridor toward the CV12 Pegmatite, Test the highly prospective CV5 to CV13 pegmatite corridor, and Complete condemnation drilling at two proposed waste rock pile locations in support of the ongoing Feasibility Study at the CV5 Pegmatite.
