Azimut Exploration Inc. reported that a spodumene-bearing pegmatiteboulder field containing at least 12 mineralized boulders has been identified on the Galinee Property (the "Property") in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec. These encouraging preliminary field results obtained by Azimut and its partner SOQUEM Inc. ("SOQUEM") confirm the strong prospectivity of the Property and support the upcoming maiden drilling program targeting the area immediately south of the Adina lithium discovery (Winsome Resources). The minimum 1,600-metre core drilling program will be initiated shortly.

In addition to Galinee, substantial concurrent exploration programs are already underway or will soon commence following a lengthy period of access restrictions related to widespread forest fires. This includes work on projects for gold and copper-gold (Elmer and Kukamas) and lithium (Pikwa, Pontois, Dalmas, Corvet, Kaanaayaa,apatik and JBL). The boulder field in the northern part of the Property is characterized by the following features: At least 12 spodumene-bearing Pegmatite boulders in a 650- by 350-metre area, not fully delineated at this stage.

The area has extensive glacial sediment cover and only one outcrop (amphibolite). The dominant glacial direction is NE to SW. Most boulders are angular to sub-angular, generally indicative of short transport distances from the bedrock source (a few metres to several hundred metres).

It is possible that some of the spodumene-bearing boulders originated from the non-outcropping target area where the bedrock will be drill-tested by the upcoming drilling program. Boulder sizes range from 0.5 x 0.5 metre to 1.5 x 1.5 metre, with spodumene constituting 5% to 20% of the pegmatite. Spodumene crystals range from a few centimetres to 20-25 centimetres long, with whitish and grey to pink colors.

A portable LIBS analyzer (Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy) was used to confirm the presence of lithium. At Galinee, the aim of the drilling program is two-fold: 1) intersect the down-dip extensions of Winsome's zones, and 2) investigate the strong potential for additional subparallel spodumene-bearing square pegmatites starting at shallow depth on Galinee, immediately south of but geometrically above Adina's Main Zone. On a larger scale, the Galinee Property displays well-defined targets, including a 20-kilometre-long lithium-cesium-gallium-tin anomaly in lake sediments in the northwestern part of the Property.

Outcrops in this area are rare, but its strong geochemical footprint underscores significant exploration potential roughly coincident with a NE-SW-trending sheared greenstone belt. To date, 107 grab rock samples have been collected from target areas on the Property and assay results are pending. The Galinee Property (649 claims, 335 km2) is a 50/50 joint venture between Azimut and SOQUEM, operated by Azimut.

The 36-kilometre-long project is located about 50 kilometres north-northwest of the Renard diamond mine (Stornoway) and 60 kilometres south of the Trans-Taiga Road, a regional highway. The Elmer Gold Project, is advanced to the initial resource stage in the first resource stage in Quebec.
