Comet Lithium Corporation announced that it will be commencing a lithium focused exploration program at the 100% owned Troilus East property, located in Eeyou-Istchee Baie James, Quebec. The past exploration program completed at Troilus did not take lithium into consideration but it succeeded in identifying lithium anomalies. The new work program will target these areas for pegmatite prospecting.

The Troilus property was initially explored in 2020 for gold and copper, however, upon review of the database and results obtained from the program, five high priority target areas were identified for Lithium potential. More importantly, all five targets follow a northeast alignment along the south-eastern flank of the Parker granite intrusion over a strike length of about 20 kilometres. Further, the targets generated from the historical results are based on a collection of samples that carried lithium values up to 248 ppm.

TROILUS EAST LITHium HIGHLIGHTS: The Troilus East property has never been explored for lithium despite being located proximate to strike and inside the same geological units as the lithium bearing pegmatites of Lac Moblan located about 50 kilometres south of the property. Geological mapping at Troilus East shows granitic dykes and occasional pegmatite veins intruded in mafic rocks. This context is well known to host spodumene bearing pegmatites, the main lithium carrier in the James Bay area.

Comet Lithium is advancing Liberty to first-ever drilling.
