With the completion of the Lac des Montagnes land transaction, Li-FT now has 216,000 hectares of prospective land in this lithium district.

The Lac des Montagnes property is 18,535 hectares in size and contains four tantalum (Ta) showings. Ta is often associated with lithium pegmatite deposits, including the nearby world-class Whabouchi lithium deposit.

The project is surrounded by existing infrastructure including two Hydro Quebec substations, the Nemiscau substation and Albenal substation, as well as the Nemiscau lodging facility that can accommodate an exploration team without requiring camps. In addition, the area is serviced by the year-round Nemiscau airport and provincially maintained roads.

When asked to comment about the announcement of the Option Agreement, Li-FT CEO Julie Hajduk said, "We're thrilled to extend our holdings in this region, making Li-FT the largest land holder in the James Bay lithium district. Our summer 2022 exploration program on existing Li-FT land holdings was recently completed in early September, and we look forward to releasing results from this work later this fall."
