Nunavik Lithium

19 properties covering 455sqkm were mapped staked (100% owned, no royalties) to cover the characteristics which can be associated with lithium bearing spodumene pegmatites, namely, the presence of:

1. Proximity to favourable tectonic regimes, namely geological boundaries where favourable (spodumene-bearing pegmatitic) rocks may be emplaced;
2. Mapped pegmatitic bodies in government data;
3. Geochemical anomalies in grab samples and lake bottom sediments samples which reported values in the 90th percentile or higher for Quebec (MRN Lake Bottom Sediment Database) for elements of interest such as Li, Cs, Rb, Nb and Be¹.
4. Grab samples on these properties reported up to 218 ppm Li, 27 ppm Ta, 67 ppm Cs, and Rb up to 560 ppm (Figure 2 & Figure 3)

Orford Mining was already exploring in Nunavik for critical minerals and gold and has a significant logistical and strategic, first mover advantage. Orford was the first group to stake specifically for lithium in the region and we believe we have acquired the most prospective land package. All the Nunavik Lithium Properties are within approximately 100km from the Deception Bay all season – deep water port, with some properties within 10km.
