PMET Resources Inc. [PMET-TSX, PMETF-OTCQB, R9GA-FSE], a company that was previously called Patriot Battery Metals, has announced the results from 2025 drilling at its wholly-owned Shaakichiuwaanaan property in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec.

The property hosts one of the largest pegmatite mineral resources (Li, Cs, Ta) and mineral reserves in the world, situated approximately 13 kilometres south of the regional all-weather Trans-Taiga Road and powerline infrastructure.

The 2025 drill campaign was expansive in nature and included drill testing of multiple Li-Cs-Ta (LCT) pegmatite prospects (CV4, CV8, CV12), step out drilling at CV5 and CV13, infill drilling at CV13, as well as condemnation and geomechanical drilling in support of the development at CV5 and CV13, respectively. Over the course of the campaign, which was concluded in October 2025, 57,024 metres (245 holes) of diamond drilling was completed, of which results for 41,043 metres (173 holes) are reported in the company’s latest press release.

“The 2025 drill campaign at Shaakichiuwaanaan was expansive in scope and completed amongst a backdrop of two mineral resource estimate updates and a maiden feasibility study for lithium on the CV5 pegmatite,’’ said PMET Executive Vice-President Exploration Darren Smith.  “The campaign included drill testing of new targets, infill land step-out holes proximal to defined Li-Cs-Ta Mineral Resources, as well as condemnation and geomechanical holes in support of development,’’ he said. Smith said the company achieved its key drilling objectives on schedule and under budge with the project now further derisked towards development as well as multiple new-high potential lithium and caesium zones discovered.

“The emergence of caesium-rich mineralization across multiple areas of the property underscores the robustness and highly evolved nature of the LCT Pegmatite system at Shaakichiuwaanaan,’’ Smith said.

Exploration highlights include the discovery of new lithium zone in a drill hole at the CV4 Pegmatite. Hole CV25-1013 returned 27.0 metres at 1.14% Li20 including 19.2 metres at 1.45% Li20. The discovery is interpreted as a potential 1.5-kilometre extension of the CV5 Pegmatite.

Other highlights include a new caesium zone discovery near-surface in a drill hole at the CV12 Pegmatite. Hole CV25-875 returned 3.0 metres at 5.82% Cs20 within a wider anomalous zone of 23 metres at 0.98% Cs20. The zone has been traced over a 200 metre strike length.

The strike lengths of the CV5 and CV13 pegmatites has been extended to 5.0 kilometres and 3.2 kilometres respectively with drill results including 24.9 metres at 1.34% Li20, including 11.2 metres at 2.16% Li20 (CV25-879).

Results remain to be reported for 15,081 metres or 72 holes.
