Olympio Metals Ltd has completed a comprehensive 23-hole diamond drilling program totaling 2,715 metres across four pegmatite dykes at its Cadillac Lithium Project in Quebec, Canada. The drilling revealed significant lithium-caesium-tantalum geochemical fractionation trends that highlight the area's substantial lithium prospects. Among the notable discoveries was spodumene with grades reaching 2.3% lithium oxide in the Dyke B area, significantly expanding the project's known lithium potential beyond initial expectations.
The combined results from drilling and previous surface sampling indicate that the LCT pegmatites cover a more extensive area than originally anticipated, creating opportunities for expanded regional exploration activities. The company has successfully secured $1.1 million in funding through Canadian Flow-Through Shares, positioning it well for the upcoming field season. This financial backing will support continued exploration across Olympio's 190-square-kilometre landholding, where numerous high-priority pegmatite targets await systematic testing and evaluation.
Recent drilling operations have delineated two distinct zones of fractionated pegmatites, suggesting the presence of multiple generations of LCT mineralised intrusions within the project area. These geological findings will directly inform the company's exploration strategy, with particular focus on areas displaying elevated potassium-rubidium fractionation trends that are scientifically linked to lithium mineralisation. The identification of these patterns provides valuable guidance for targeting the most prospective areas within the extensive project boundaries.
With over 400 known pegmatites identified throughout the Cadillac Project area, Olympio Metals is well-positioned to advance its exploration activities in the coming weeks. The company plans to leverage the latest geological insights gained from the drilling program to systematically target high-priority areas that show the strongest indications of lithium mineralisation. The combination of promising assay results, expanded geological understanding, and adequate funding creates a solid foundation for the next phase of exploration work at the Cadillac Lithium Project.
