Orford Mining Corporation announce that it has identified 12 new exploration targets for lithium, cesium, and tantalum bearing pegmatites ("LCT pegmatites") on its Nunavik lithium properties based on newly reported glacial till geochemistry results. These results also generated two potential exploration targets within the properties for gold. Till sampling as a geochemical targeting tool has been successful in generating successful exploration targets and making discoveries in the Nunavik region of Northern Quebec and globally.

Results from the 2023 till sampling program have confirmed the prospectivity of the area with the identification of 12 new target areas that are anomalous in lithium, cesium, and tantalum on the Nunavik lithium properties, which are 100% owned by Orford and have never previously been explored for economic minerals, including lithium. Till prospectivity mapping, along with anomalous grab samples have also highlighted the potential for gold on both the kWatt and Wire properties with two exploration target areas identified. Survey lines were planned in areas known to host strong positive lithium lake bottom sediment anomalies and associated pathfinder elements for LCT pegmatites based on previous regional government surveys.

550 widely spaced till samples were collected for the purpose of detecting anomalies typical of LCT pegmatites on the Radiant, kWatt and Wire properties. These anomalies may reflect LCT pegmatites covered by glacial till deposits that would therefore not be exposed at surface.
