The Property is located in the Frotet-Evans greenstone belt (‘FEGB’), which forms part of the Archean Superior Province. The geology of the Moblan Property is dominated by a large north-east trending gabbro, bordered to the north-west by mafic volcanics and lesser sedimentary rocks. The Archean bedrock is locally covered by glacial tills which typically do not exceed 3 to 4 metres in thickness.The gabbro is the main host rock for lithium bearing pegmatite mineralisation. The pegmatites are of the albite – spodumene class of LCT (lithium-cesium-tantalum) pegmatites. Four pegmatite clusters are recognised, forming a series of stacked pegmatite dykes of variable thicknesses.The Properties host several mineral occurrences and showings. These (and other adjacent) occurrences highlight the strong potential of the area for (i) Li pegmatite deposits; (ii) Cu-Zn VMS deposits; (iii) Au orogenic quartzcarbonate veins and disseminated sulphide deposits; (iv) Ni-Cu-PGE magmatic sulphide deposits; and (v) Au-Cu porphyry systems (e.g., Troilus Gold).The economic potential of the Moblan Property is for lithium mineralisation (spodumene pegmatites). Lithiumbearing pegmatites were grouped into four (4) dyke swarms: Main, South, Inter and Moleon. Each corresponds to a series of stacked lithium-bearing dykes of variable thicknesses.The Main group comprises 21 lithium pegmatite dykes oriented E-W and dipping gently to the north (N280°/-20°). This swarm extends laterally E-W for approximately 1500 m and 500 m N-S. In this group, three (3) dykes have an average intercept length greater than 10 m.The South group comprises 20 dykes oriented E-W and almost sub-horizontal or dipping gently to the south (N080°/-10°). This swarm extends laterally E-W for approximately 750 m and 500 m N-S. In this group, five (5) dykes have an average intercept length greater than 10 m.The Inter group comprises 17 dykes oriented ENE and dipping moderately to the north (N260°/-20°). This swarm extends laterally E-W for approximately 750 m and 300 m N-S. In this group, only one (1) dyke has an average intercept length greater than 10m.The Moleon group comprises 17 dykes oriented N-S and dipping steeply to the west (N180°/-70°). This swarm extends laterally N-S for approximately 750 m and 250 m E-W. In this group, two (2) dykes have an average intercept length greater than 10 m.DimensionsThe mineral resource area encompassing the Main, South and Inter dyke swarms is 700 m long N-S, ~300 m wide E-W, dips ~60-70° to the west, and has a vertical extent of ~300 m. The Moleon mineral resource area is 1700 m long WSW-ENE, is 50–400 m wide, dips ~0–25° to the NNW, and has a vertical extent of ~350 m. Mineralisation remains open at depth and laterally for all domains.
