Musk Metals Corp. announced it has started its fifth exploration program for Phase 1, on its 100% owned "Elon" lithium project in Quebec. The survey is using a motorized auger drill to sample the till below the surface sediments.

The purpose of the survey is to better define the dispersion of the plume in the till column in three dimensions (3D). The program target soils that are located down-ice from identified magnetic and soil anomalies that were not explained during the last rock drill phase. The program targets identified magnetic and soil anomalies that were not explained by drilling (Figure 1).

The till will be drilled using a Big Beaver Auger Drilling Rig equipped with a split spoon sampler. The Company is expected to test approximately 46 holes. Overburden thickness in the area is approximately up to 25m thick, based on overburden measurements from the 2022 drilling campaign.

If till is not found or not reached, the field crew will perform a soil assay in the sediment in parallel to the drilling in order to obtain information via a MMI (Mobile Metalic Ion) sample. The hollow core is expected to reach the till material beneath the surficial sediments where it will collect material within the split spoon sampler. The till is planned to be sampled to produce a 1kg for fine material sample.

The sampling stations are approximately 40m apart and perpendicular to the glacial flow.
