Equitorial Exploration Corp. has received a work permit to drill its Cat Lake Lithium Property directly adjacent to the Cat Lake Mineral Project owned by Quantum Minerals Corp. Drilling is anticipated to commence by end of January, 2018. Equitorial has obtained a work permit for the Phase 1 drill program of 2,000 metres. Drilling will focus on the eastward strike extent of the Irgon Pegmatite presently being explored by Quantum Minerals. The Irgon Mine was an underground mining operation for spodumene (one of the hard rock sources for Li) from 1956-1957. The historic estimate was 1.2 million tons of 1.51% Li2O (Manitoba Government Assessment File 94932), not 43-101 compliant). In 1948, a drill hole on the company's present Cat Lake Project claims, encountered 48 feet (14.6 metres) of spodumene (Manitoba Government assessment file 98073). This hole was not followed up at the time. The drill program will be headed up by Carey Galeschuck. P. Geo, a consulting geologist with extensive experience in lithium bearing pegmatites. He will also serve as Qualified Person for the purpose of National Instrument 43-101. For Cat Lake Mineral Project: The property lies within the east-trending Mayville-Cat-Euclid Greenstone Belt ("MCEGB") located along the northern contact of the Maskwa Lake Batholith. This northern greenstone belt has a similar structural geological setting as the Bird River Greenstone Belt ("BRGB") which is located along the southern contact of the same batholith, and is parallel to and approximately 18km to the south of the MCEGB. The property is located 20km north of the Tanco Mine Property. The BRGB hosts the Tanco rare element-bearing pegmatite dike as well as numerous other lithium bearing pegmatites. The Tanco Mine went into production in 1969 and produced tantalum, cesium and spodumene (lithium). It was previously North America's large and sole producer of spodumene (Li), tantalite (Ta) and pollucite (Cs).
