ABR - Arbor Metals Unveils Promising Assay Results from Fall 2023 Exploration Program at Jarnet Lithium Project Quebec Canada
(TheNewswire)
Vancouver, Canada – TheNewswire-- January22 nd , 2024 – Arbor Metals Corp. (“ Arbor ” or the “ Company ”)(TSXV:ABR ) ( FWB:432) is pleased to announce thehighly anticipated assay results from its Fall 2023 prospectingprogram at the Jarnet Lithium Project in the Eeyou Istchee Baie-Jamesterritory, Northern Québec. The southern extremity of the Project islocated 2.5km north-west of Patriot Battery Metals Corvette 5spodumene bearing giant pegmatite.
The exploration manager for the Project, GranderExploration, stated, "We are pleased to announce the assayresults from the 2023 prospecting program, marking a significantmilestone in Arbor’s exploration efforts."
A total of 77 rock samples were collected, including 46oriented channels totalling 41 metres. These samples were taken tocrosscut known pegmatite and obtain a representative sampling, mainlyfrom the central claim block. In addition, 31 chip samples wereobtained from new pegmatite identified. The South block was brieflyworked to note the absence of outcrops with the sampling of five largesub-angular boulders. The north-east block was not covered duringthe program.
On central block, evidence of an extensive pegmatitefield was identified despite of the scarcity of outcrops. One to threemeter wide pegmatite outcrops were present associated with largeboulder fields showing a usual muscovite rich composition associatedwith corroded feldspars and intergrowth quartz and local minute amountof dark blue tourmaline. To the south of the block, pegmatites arehosted in gneiss derived from sediments. Southward, the same type ofpegmatite is hosted in amphibolite.
Of particular note is the highest grading sample inthis program, which yielded 88ppm lithium from sample 351593 (seephoto below). The pegmatite sample showing a zoned structure came froma metric boulder found on the South Block Otherwise the whole samplespopulation returned an average of 16ppm lithium with local spikes inCs (33.8ppm in sample 267121), Ta (55.3ppm in sample 267122). Samplesshows a moderate Rb enrichment with an average of 338 ppm Rb. All ofwhich demonstrates the presence of lithium enriched pegmatites, andconfirms the Company is on the right path to a significant discovery.
See below mapped for samples location.

Arbor views these results with great encouragement, asthey highlight the presence of an extensive pegmatite field locatedalong regional lithological and structural contacts. The Company isconfident that lithium enrichment trends may be exposed on theproperty using a systematic exploration approach based on acombination of geochemistry and geophysics methods.
Mark Ferguson, President of Arbor, expressed hisenthusiasm, stating, "The results from our Fall 2023 explorationprogram are truly exciting. We've gained valuable insights into theformation of lithium mineralization on the Jarnet Lithium Project,laying a strong foundation for future exploration endeavors. Ourcommitment to responsible and informed exploration continues to driveour pursuit of discovering a significant lithiumresource."
The Company is currently in the final stages offormalizing its 2024 exploration program, the details of which will bereleased in the near term. Arbor remains steadfast in its commitmentto collaborate with local communities and indigenous peoples.Operating with environmental consciousness is a priority, and theCompany ensures that its exploration activities adhere to the higheststandards of sustainability.
QA/QC
Channel samples were obtained by a diamond saw cuttinga continuous sample over length of 0.6 to 0.9m. Chip and grab samplesmust be considered as punctual and not necessarily representative ofthe rock formation sampled. Each sample was observed under thebinocular for minerals identification and textures. Samples weredelivered at ALS facility in Val d’Or, Québec, and assayed usingsodium peroxide fusion followed by ICP-MS analysis.
