Ophir Gold Corp. announced mobilization of crew to its Leran Property (the "Property"), located in the Upper Eastmain Greenstone Belt in James Bay, Quebec. The Company purchased the Leran Property, two (2) claims totaling 104.6 ha, located in the Upper East main Greenstone Belt.

The claims host a historically documented 1m X 1m X 1m spodumene pegmatite boulder, with a mineral assemblage of spodumene, tourmaline, muscovite, and garnet, grading 1.21% Li (2.61% Li2O) and 123 ppm Ta2O5 (CG-2016-08, SIGEOM Sample 16AB1220-A. Due to the angular nature of the boulder, the distance travelled is interpreted to be limited with the source potentially located on the Property. A series of outcrops located up-ice, interpreted from satellite imagery, will be the primary target for the program.
