Patriot Battery Metals Inc. (ASX:PMT) Launches 2025 Winter Drill Program
Drill Program Details
Patriot Battery Metals has commenced its 2025 winter drill program at the Shaakichiuwaanaan Property, targeting a minimum of 15,000 metres from January to April. The program aims to extend the high-grade Vega Zone westward, test the CV5 to CV13 pegmatite corridor, and complete condemnation drilling at two proposed waste rock pile locations. Up to four drill rigs will support the program, predominantly using ground-supported methods via all-season and winter roads.
Future Plans
The company is on track to release a Feasibility Study and maiden Ore Reserve Estimate in the third quarter of 2025. Additionally, core assay results for 98 drill holes from the CV5 Pegmatite, completed in fall 2024, are pending and expected to be announced soon.
Executive Comments
Darren L. Smith, Executive and Vice President of Exploration, stated, “2025 will be a less drill intensive year compared to 2024; however, exploration drilling along the CV Trend remains a key component of the Company’s flowthrough spend strategy as the CV5 Pegmatite advances through development. The primary focus for the winter drill program will be further delineation and extension of the CV13 Spodumene Pegmatite, including the high-grade Vega Zone, and supporting the Feasibility and development needs for the CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite.”
