CAT Strategic Metals Corporation has staked a further 12 claims to the west of its existing claim block, increasing the Company's land holdings to 1508 acres (610 hectares). The geological setting underlying the newly staked claims is thought to be an extension of the system on Gold Jackpot that shows the same late N-S faulting - as reported by Surge - that could have acted as traps, or feeder faults, for the formation of lithium deposits. Alternatively, these N-S faults could have been hydrothermal vent structures that fed volcanic-related hydrothermal lithium-rich fluids up from depth.

If this is confirmed to be the same, or similar, geological setting in which Surge reported its lithium discovery, then CAT has added considerable value to its shareholders and increased the possibility of locating a significant lithium discovery of its own.
