Quebec Precious Metals Corporation announced that, only five days into its prospecting campaign on its projects in the Eeyou-Istchee James Bay region of Quebec (1,298 claims covering 676 km2, 100% owned), it has discovered spodumene-bearing pegmatite mineralization at the Elmer East Project. The first assay values from the prospecting campaign at Elmer East are expected towards the end of November. QPM will continue the field work until weather conditions no longer allow it.

The pegmatite outcrop with visible spodumene known as the Ninaaskumuwin Showing (East Cree word for thankful), has a surface area expression of approximately 170 m long by 40 m wide with an apparent thickness of 40 m. The pegmatite is open along the strike. The outcrop is well mineralized in spodumene in a highly fractionated pegmatite dyke with well-formed pale green spodumene crystals ranging in length from a few centimetres to 50 cm. The outcrop is about 1.3 km from the Billy Diamond Highway and about 45 km northwest Allkem Limited's James Bay project with a recently announced total mineral resource of 110.2 million tonnes at 1.3% Li 2O.

The field work was performed by GeoVector Management Inc. with the guidance of ALS GoldSpot Discoveries Ltd.
