Yorkton Ventures expects the project area to be highly prospective for lithium hosted in spodumene-bearing pegmatites.

The property hosts at least two historic lithium occurrences (Sirmac Lithium and Clapier Lithium), which are mapped in the western part of the region.

Several granitic pegmatite dykes have been identified in the project area, where four lithologies are present, including quartz-biotite-hornblende schists, amphibolitised flows or mafic sills, spodumene-bearing pegmatites, and a syenite pluton.

Last month, Yorkton acquired a group of three non-contiguous lithium properties in the James Bay area of Quebec, from an undisclosed sum.

The properties include Key Lithium, Amisk West Lithium, and Amisk East Lithium, known together as the Cyr-Kapiwak Project.

Located 100km east of Eastmain and 170km south of Radisson, the Cyr-Kapiwak Project comprises 42 mineral claims covering a total area of 2,220ha.
