Coniagas Battery Metals (TSX-V:COS) has expanded its footprint near SOQUEM's Cardinal property, bolstering its pursuit of high-grade copper-nickel-cobalt-platinum group elements (Cu-Ni-Co-PGE) deposits in Quebec's mineral-rich region.
The company secured a substantial land package totaling 28.3 square kilometers, comprising 531 claims spanning 28,397 hectares.
Named Dartagnan, the new property package boasts convenient highway access to its southern part and a network of logging roads facilitating access to other areas.
Moreover, Dartagnan South benefits from a power corridor leading to Chibougamau, enhancing its infrastructure appeal in the mining-rich jurisdiction of Quebec.
SOQUEM, renowned for its mineral exploration prowess in Quebec, has reported impressive grades from its Richelieu and Edgar zones, reinforcing the mineral-rich potential of the area. Notable drill highlights include grades reaching up to 0.92% copper, 0.73% nickel, and 0.11% cobalt, accompanied by platinum, palladium, and gold values over a substantial interval.
By strategically staking ground adjacent to SOQUEM's Cardinal property, Coniagas has capitalized on local prospectors' expertise and regional geological data, including magnetic features and lake sediment samples exhibiting anomalous base metals.
"The SOQUEM copper, nickel and cobalt grades and widths are excellent; we are really excited to move into the area,” said Frank Basa, CEO of Coniagas. “The added benefit of the strong PGE/Au component will definitely drive value."
Coniagas Battery Metals (TSX-V:COS) is positioned for aggressive expansion on its flagship property, Graal, with a strategic focus on becoming a leading junior explorer for Cu-Ni-Co-PGE deposits in Quebec.
