CDN Maverick Capital Corp. announced that it has engaged Ground Truth Exploration (GT) for Phase I reconnaissance work on Maverick's Poncheville and Chabinoche hard rock lithium properties. These properties are located approximately 65 km and 105 km northeast of Matagami and can be accessed via the Route de la Baie James from the mining town.

The highly experienced GT team is known for its exceptional track-record of precious metal discoveries in Canada. The program is set to commence in mid-July 2023, provided weather conditions are favorable and wildfire risks are minimal. The focus of the program is to map and understand the potential of previously identified lithium pegmatite occurrences through desktop studies based on public information.

This includes, but is not limited to, a province-wide systematic analysis of lake sediment data and statistics. On the ground, the team will traverse the properties systematically, logging lithium-prospective samples visually and conducting immediate LIBS and/or XRF analyses.
