TomaGold Corporation (TSXV: LOT) has acquired 96 map-designated claims covering an area of 4,962.6 ha (or 50 sq. km), located 120 km southeast of Radisson and approximately 15 km south of the recently acquired claims in James Bay, Quebec.
The property will be known as Star Lake and has been the subject of geophysical surveys that have identified six rare earth element showings.
The Corporation has completed a recompilation of the available data and has updated the set of surface samples that were discovered in 2008. The Corporation is excited to present some of the best results that will be the subject of future exploration work.
“The last two claim acquisitions allow TomaGold to diversify its assets in the critical metals sector at low cost,” said David Grondin, President and CEO of TomaGold.
“The lithium and rare earth element markets are growing rapidly due to the scarcity of these metals and the acquisition of these properties represents opportunities that could not be passed up. This will only strengthen our portfolio of eight properties, including our flagship Obalski project, with results pending from the latest drill programme.
“When we look at the table numbers, it is the NdPr/TREE ratios that catch our attention the most, as they are above 0.24. For reference purposes, a ratio greater than 0.20 is considered good, while a ratio greater than 0.24 is considered excellent by rare earth element producers.
“The Star Lake property appears to have interesting exploration potential and remains highly underexplored. We will soon begin a prospecting programme, which will allow us to validate the historical results and better understand the geological potential of the property.”
As part of the sampling work done in 2008, a total of 14 samples returned zirconium (Zr) values that met the maximum detection limit of 500 ppm and were not further tested to determine the true values. The Corporation will also perform additional work to properly evaluate those previous results.
