Pivotal Metals (ASX:PVT) has completed a high-resolution magnetic survey at the Lorraine Project in Québec, Canada, as part of the company’s strategy to pursue new discoveries.
Managing Director Ivan Fairhall says the high-resolution magnetic data supports the company’s active regional exploration program.
“The property already hosts multiple high-grade magmatic base metals and high-grade gold discoveries, which demonstrate a widespread mineralising system that is substantially explored,” Fairhall says.
“This high-resolution magnetic survey data highlights potential controls and hosts for new discoveries in an almost completely unexplored eastward corridor.”
Preliminary interpretations of the results indicate a geological terrain of multiple lithologies and abundant structural elements. The signatures of the historic magmatic deposits of Lorraine, Kelly Lake, and Blondeau will be used as a guide for new discoveries.
Pivotal says initial field examinations confirmed the nature of the known mineralisation as established in the field logistics requirements for the July follow-up program.
In July 2025, detailed mapping and sampling will focus on the structural controls of the known gold mineralisation and systematic expansion of the mineralising system.
The company aims to uncover areas for trenching and soil geochemical surveys. Concurrently, the project area will be examined for additional gabbro bodies as potential host to magmatic sulphide mineralisation through contact mapping and integrating the high-resolution magnetic data.
Pivotal notes the primary objective is to identify areas for electromagnetic (EM) geophysical surveys.
Further field work is planned to include EM geophysical and soil geochemical surveys to develop drill targets.
The Lorraine Project, part of the Belleterre-Angliers Greenstone Belt (BAGB) projects, forms part of the Archean Superior Province of the Canadian Shield.
The wider BAGB project area already hosts numerous magmatic copper-nickel-platinum group elements and gold deposits, occurrences, and a past producing mine.
Pivotal Metals is a mineral explorer and developer focused on critical mineral projects in Canada.
