Bullion Gold Acquires 36,420 Hectares (364 km²) for Lithium Exploration in Jamésie (James Bay)
15 February 2023 - 12:30AM
Bullion Gold Resources Corp. (TSX-V: BGD)
(“Bullion Gold” or “the Company”) announces the acquisition, by way
of staking and from a group of prospectors, of 36,320 contiguous
hectares forming the Bodo SM property, located approximately 200 km
north of the municipality of Chibougamau and about 100 km south of
the Eastmain mine.
Composed of 682 cells, the Bodo SM project was
acquired based on its potential to contain spodumene pegmatites,
the presence of a bedrock largely denuded of vegetation and its
location which offers very good accessibility due to its proximity
to the main road leading to Chibougamau. The geological environment
of Bodo SM is similar to that found in the known geological zones
containing lithium in the western part of James Bay. The lithium
deposits discovered in the last 10 years have been in greenstone
belts in contact with huge granite intrusions. The company has thus
staked one of the last available greenstone belts that are easily
accessible.
Bodo SM Geological Map
“We had been looking for a geological sector
integrating greenstone units in contact with vast pegmatite
batholiths which are favorable to exploration for lithium and other
strategic minerals. The Lake Baudau region offered this
opportunity. With Bodo SM, we now hold 100% interest, without
royalty, in a vast mining project located approximately 200 km
north of Chibougamau, an important mining region. The Lac Baudau
sector could become, in our opinion, another favorable area for the
discovery of lithium or other strategic minerals. Also, according
to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global demand for lithium
will be multiplied by 40 by 2040,” mentioned Mr. Jonathan Hamel,
President, and CEO of Bullion
The Bodo SM property covers most of a set of
greenstone bands in contact with large granite batholiths and
pegmatite granodiorites. The three main greenstone units are made
up of amphibolized basalts with a length varying from 20 to 28 km
by a width ranging from 2.23 to 8 km. The various granite and
granodiorite batholiths bordering these volcanic units would
contain, according to the MERN, several pegmatite dykes of
different thicknesses, but no serious work has been done to
identify the minerals in those visited and mentioned in the RG-144
report dating from 1971. Minerals such as biotite, muscovite or
tourmaline have however been noted in the granites visited.
Pegmatites containing minerals such as spodumene, lepidolite and
petalite are often associated with mica minerals such as biotite
and muscovite, as well as silicate minerals such as tourmaline.
Pegmatites are usually formed from silica-rich magma that has
crystallized slowly, allowing rare minerals to crystallize. Other
minerals searched for in association with the potential presence of
lithium are beryl, rubidium, and cesium.
ALS Goldspot Discoveries will also participate
in the analysis of current and future available data in order to
delineate the best targets to prospect as soon as the property
becomes accessible in the spring of 2023.
Historically, there has been very little
exploration work done in this area. There is therefore not a lot of
geological and geophysical data except those mentioned in the
various MERN reports. There is a Cu-Au-Ag and Mo showing
(Rivon-Ouest) on the eastern edge of the property.
The claims acquired from a group of prospectors
were acquired in return for 1,100,000 shares of The Company. No
royalty was granted to this group.
