Y LITHIUM PROPERTY
The Y Lithium Project is a 100%-owned property located in northern Saskatchewan near Bailey Lake, comprising four mineral claims totaling approximately 5,856 hectares across two distinct claim blocks. The property is situated approximately 160 kilometres northeast of Stony Rapids and five kilometres west of a reported lithium- and tantalum-bearing pegmatite discovery. These staked claims provide exclusive mining rights and are free of royalties or property payments.
The National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report confirms the Y Lithium Project as a district-scale property with potential to host hard-rock lithium mineralization within the Ennadai Greenstone Belt, a geologic formation that originates in the project area and extends northeast into the Northwest Territories. The Technical Report highlights that regional prospectivity has been supported by recent discoveries in the Bailey Lake region, emphasizing its underexplored but highly promising lithium potential.
A high-resolution LiDAR and orthophoto survey was completed and filed with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Energy and Resources, enhancing geological interpretation and delineating key lithological contacts, structural corridors, and potential outcrop zones. This data is expected to guide future exploration efforts by identifying glacial features and prospective boulder trains associated with lithium-bearing pegmatites.
The report recommends integrating government geological and geophysical datasets with LiDAR results to identify the most prospective zones for lithium mineralization. Particular attention is drawn to Hurwitz Group pelitic schists and adjacent granitic contacts, where the partial melting of pelitic rocks may have generated spodumene-bearing pegmatites. Boulder trains identified in orthophotos further support the presence of lithium-rich systems within the Bailey Lake area.
HIGHLIGHTS
NI 43-101 Technical Report identifies the Y Lithium Project as a district-scale, early-stage property with strong potential for hard-rock lithium mineralization.
Located within the Ennadai Greenstone Belt, approximately 5 km west of a reported lithium- and tantalum-bearing pegmatite discovery, highlighting a prospective geological corridor.
LiDAR and orthophoto surveys refined geological understanding, identifying structural trends, lithological contacts, and potential outcrop areas.
Regional discoveries, including nearby spodumene-bearing pegmatite zones, underscore the broader lithium potential of the Bailey Lake region.
Favorable geology, including pelitic schists and granitic contacts, supports potential for LCT (lithium-cesium-tantalum) pegmatite formation.
DETAILS
GEOLOGICAL SETTING SUMMARY
Battery X Metals believes that the Y Lithium Project represents a district-scale opportunity for hard-rock lithium mineralization within the Ennadai Greenstone Belt, supported by regional surveys, favorable geology, and the underexplored nature of the Bailey Lake region. The recently completed National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report confirms the project’s potential and highlights key geological features consistent with lithium-bearing pegmatite systems.
The Company remains committed to a systematic and data-driven exploration approach designed to refine geological understanding and define priority target areas.
EXPLORATION STRATEGY SUMMARY
Data Compilation: Integrate available government geological, geochemical, and geophysical datasets with results from the Company’s high-resolution LiDAR and orthophoto surveys to identify areas prospective for lithium pegmatite mineralization.
Target Definition: Emphasize Hurwitz Group pelitic schists and adjacent granite contacts, where partial melting may have generated lithium-rich pegmatites.
Mapping and Sampling: Undertake geological mapping and prospecting of exposed outcrops and boulder fields, focusing on the identification of spodumene-bearing pegmatites and associated boulder trains.
Geochemical Analysis: Collect and analyze muscovite and till samples to delineate geochemical anomalies and assist in vectoring toward potential lithium mineralization zones.
