An exploration crew flew in just lately and has commenced fieldwork and soil sampling at Apollo. Contemplating that the Firm re-listed on 14 August 2023, this can be a great achievement. For this enterprise, the Firm has partnered with Laurentia Exploration Inc, a extremely respected exploration firm based mostly in Quebec, Canada. Laurentia is understood for its dynamic and versatile method and has achieved nice success throughout quite a lot of initiatives within the James Bay area. With a staff of practically 60 skilled workers, Laurentia will function the turnkey exploration associate for Lithium Universe in Quebec. Their obligations embody all features of the exploration work, together with web site geological assessments, drilling operations, allowing, helicopter entry, and general logistics administration.

Laurentia Exploration Inc. mobilised and commenced area work on the Apollo undertaking between the seventeenth and twenty first of August. Personnel lodging, lodging and logistics are presently being managed from Otish Camp positioned roughly 73 km to the Sout-East of the Apollo undertaking (see Determine 1*). Personnel and gear mobilisation between Otish Camp and the Apollo Venture is undertaken each day by a Bell 212 helicopter (see Figures 1 and a pair of*) operated by Panorama Helicopters offering Heli-Supported operations.
Exploration Technique utilizing AI Expertise
The Firm has initiated the utilization of Synthetic Intelligence (AI) to form its exploration technique.
Collaborating with KorrAI Applied sciences Restricted (KorrAI) in Canada, the Firm is tapping into KorrAI’s technological prowess to leverage satellite tv for pc knowledge and AI methods, elevating the requirements of area exploration methodologies. This collaboration goals to streamline fieldwork period, optimize expenditure, and elevate exploration outcomes by harnessing data-driven insights. KorrAI’s core methodology revolves round using Synthetic Intelligence for the interpretation and evaluation of satellite tv for pc knowledge and visible content material. Using subtle algorithms, KorrAI has generated intricate maps delineating various geological attributes equivalent to outcrops, pegmatites, and vein configurations. Moreover, by integrating spectral knowledge, the identification of promising mineral-rich zones has been facilitated. This method guides the efforts of LU7’s area groups, channelling their focus in direction of areas with heightened potential.
Airborne Magnetic Survey
The corporate just lately accomplished a high-resolution Airborne Magnetic Survey with a particular deal with the Apollo property as an alternative of counting on regional datasets. The survey has obtained extra detailed alerts from the property to higher perceive its structural framework and rocks that would host LCT pegmatites. LU7 accomplished a 14-day, 5596 line Km Hello-Decision Airborne Magnetic (AMAG) Survey carried out at a 50m line spacing by Geo Knowledge Options (GDS), a Canadian based mostly Airborne and Helicopter Geophysicist specialist. Determine 4* exhibits the elevated degree of analytical alerts of Apollo from the high-resolution survey.
The finished survey will assist the Firm to interpret the subsurface geology and buildings in larger element.
This can help in build up the geological mannequin for the undertaking and the next exploration and drilling technique. Current sand cowl and overgrowth could stop these relationships from being mapped on the floor.
Litho-Structural Evaluation
Following the Airborne Magnetic Survey, the corporate utilised property scale geophysics to facilitate a complete structural evaluation of the realm. The Firm believes that the structural geophysics evaluation could also be indicative of potential for LCT pegmatitic dykes following distinct regional and native scale structural corridors. It seems that a serious east-west trending fault hall/shear function is clear that extends from the Apollo undertaking to Winsome Sources Restricted’s Adina Lithium undertaking to the east. This hall/shear function might management any potential spodumene mineralisation, See Determine 5*. Winsome Sources’ Adina Lithium undertaking is 29 km to the East of Apollo. Winsome Sources’ Adina undertaking has a complete strike size of lithium mineralised development of over 3 km, with mineralisation remaining open to each the east and west of reported intercepts. Drilling at Winsome Sources’ Adina has delivered some spectacular outcomes, together with 1.34% Li2O over 107.6m from 2.3m to 109 .9m and as excessive as 1.92% Li2O over 30m.
This hall/shear function knowledge together with field-based enter might be built-in with KorrAI know-how mixed Satellite tv for pc knowledge and Synthetic Intelligence (AI) will generate drill-ready exploration targets for future area and drilling campaigns. In different phrases, our first goal drilling could also be alongside these hall shear options.
Micro-Gravity Survey
A ground-based Micro-Gravity survey was accomplished by Geophysique TMC on strains 1 and a pair of within the northwest a part of the Apollo Lithium Venture. See the “inexperienced strains” in Determine 7*. Micro-Gravity surveys will help establish variations within the density of subsurface supplies. This data can reveal the presence of geological buildings equivalent to faults, folds, and buried buildings which may be related to spodumene mineral occurrences. 200 and sixty (260) pattern factors/readings had been acquired from the on-the-ground MicroGravity survey. An additional 1,335 deliberate pattern factors might be carried out sooner or later, see “yellow strains” in Determine 6*.
Soil Sampling
An preliminary 300 x 150m soil sampling program was carried out on the north-west a part of the Apollo Lithium Venture amassing a complete 674 samples, See Determine 8*. Soil sampling permits the Firm geologists to analyse the focus of lithium within the soil, which might present a sign of the underlying geology and potential lithium-bearing minerals. Lithium, if current in rocks and minerals that climate over time, releases lithium ions into the soil. The continuation of a soil sampling programme will intention to deal with these areas in shut spatial proximity to Greenstone (Lac Rouget Formation), Vieux Comptoir intrusive, and main recognized buildings.
Additional soil sampling will embrace Precedence 1: Soil sampling (1,500 stations) at spacing of 300m x 150m masking a majority of the ‘Greenstone belt’ and the E-W trending magnetic low construction (see Determine 10*).
Precedence 2: Soil sampling (1,100 factors) at spacing of 600m x 150m masking the northern and southern elements of the ‘Greenstone belt’ (see Determine 10*).
Precedence Targets for Future Drilling Marketing campaign
A ultimate interpretation was carried out to mix all obtainable data and designate precedence targets. Clusters of targets, notably targets that observe topographic tendencies with a “whaleback” sample within the digital terrain fashions had been prioritized. Precedence goal factors are usually ranked into excessive, medium, and low and are separated into courses of LCT targets. Determine 11* exhibits a few of these targets which may be integrated in a future drilling program.
Chairman Iggy Tan expressed his satisfaction with the swift presence of the exploration staff on the Apollo web site shortly after relisting. “Our Head of Geology, Justin Rivers, and CEO Alex Hanly successfully managed the institution of partnership connections, together with with firms like Laurentia, through the undertaking’s due diligence part. The initiation of the allowing course of, strategically aligned with the relisting timeline, enabled the immediate mobilization of our exploration crew. Diligent foresight and anticipation performed a pivotal position in reaching this speedy on-site exploration. We sit up for reporting our progress within the coming months”, he stated.
