Sayona increases its presence in Témiscamingue

The company adds 22 km2 of territory to its Tansim lithium project

Exploration work carried out by Sayona in Tansim since 2018 has shown that the area could contain a lithium deposit with a potential ranging from 5 to 25 million tonnes of ore.

Although the Tansim lithium project is still in its infancy, Sayona Quebec wanted to send a clear signal about the confidence it places in it by increasing its presence in this sector of Témiscamingue.

By adding 39 claims to Tansim, the project that Sayona is quietly developing on the north shore of Lake Simard now has 282 claims and covers an area of 160 km2. The exploration work carried out since 2018 by the company in the sector has shown good potential for the discovery of another lithium deposit. Its exploitation would be complementary to that of the Authier deposit, near La Motte.

A recent surface analysis highlighted a potential eastward extension of the known mineralized zone. This is what motivated Sayona to acquire the new claims. The next phases of work will consist of sampling the new sector and drilling approximately 2,000 meters in the already known sector in order to better define the targets identified during the first phase of exploration.
