Collective Metals Inc. (Company or Collective) has announced the successful completion of a thorough compilation and interpretation of modern and historical exploration data at its Landings Lake property (Property or the Project). This property is situated within an emerging Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum (LCT) pegmatite field located in northwestern Ontario.

The Property is situated within the LCT-rich English River terrane, positioned 53 km away from Beyond Lithium Minerals' recent spodumene discovery located to the north of Ear Falls. In this area, grab samples yielded assay values of up to 4.54% Li2O along a 3 km-long prospective trend. Additionally, Green Technology Metals' Root Lake project, located 70 km northeast of the Property, also hosts several LCT pegmatite deposits.
Highlights
- The Property is situated approximately 16 km to the north of a terrane boundary separating the English River and Winnipeg River (Western Wabigoon) terranes within the emerging LCT pegmatite field east of Ear Falls. A compilation and interpretation of historical geological mapping, airborne magnetic data, and elevation models have identified multiple priority target areas for the forthcoming field exploration program.
- The muscovite granites on the Property are a component of LCT-prospective peraluminous granites and granodiorites from the Wapesi Lake Batholith. These intrusions penetrate the metasedimentary rocks of the English River Terrane. The Wapesi Lake Batholith is documented to be approximately 2.69 billion years old, a time frame that aligns with a period marked by significant LCT pegmatite mineralization in Ontario.
- The Wapesi granites have penetrated the metasedimentary formations in the northern section of the Property, where elevation models and historical geological mapping conducted by the Ontario Geological Survey have identified bedrock outcrops in proximity to and within topographic high points. This specific region of the Property is well-suited for field exploration.
- In the southeastern part of the Property, there are structural corridors oriented in a northeast direction, marked by magnetic lows. These features are interpreted as potential LCT pegmatite trap zones.
This work is integral to the Company’s understanding of the region, and development of exploration plans to advance us towards discovery. The excellent work of our neighbors Beyond Lithium Minerals and Green Technology Metals highlight that our Lithium assets are in the right geological environment to focus our exploration efforts for a potential discovery of LCT pegmatites at the Project. We look forward to conducting preliminary field exploration programs in the near future.

Landings Lake Project
The Project is situated in northwestern Ontario, an area renowned for the presence of pegmatite-hosted Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum deposits. Specifically, the Project is positioned 53 km to the east of Ear Falls, Ontario, and approximately 70 km west of Green Technology Metals' Root Project. It encompasses an expanse of 3,146 hectares of land with high potential for LCT pegmatite mineralization, situated within the Lithium-rich English River terrane.
