The Nottaway Project is a greenfield lithium pegmatite exploration play located in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Québec, Canada. Nottaway hosts a high-tenor spodumene-in-till anomaly defined from a focused indicator mineral program and is situated within the same regional tectono-magmatic architecture that hosts the Moblan and Cisco lithium pegmatite systems. The project is located in a mining-friendly jurisdiction with established infrastructure and year-round access.
Property Size: 5,860 hectares
Target: Lithium-cesium-tantalum (LCT) spodumene-bearing pegmatite dykes interpreted to be the source of a 1 km x 3 km high-tenor spodumene grain anomaly in glacial till
Exploration Stage: High-tenor spodumene-bearing till anomaly defined from 49 samples, including multiple results greater than 200 spodumene grains and a peak value of approximately 2,000 grains, with a clear up-ice cutoff indicating a local bedrock source
Next Steps: Follow-up exploration to refine dispersion trends, define priority drill targets beneath glacial cover, and advance toward initial bedrock drilling
Geological Prospectivity Indicators: Location along the Nottaway Shear Zone, structural contact between greenstone belt basalts and tonalite–granodiorite intrusions, proximity to known giant spodumene pegmatite systems (Moblan and Cisco), and exceptional spodumene indicator mineral tenor
Exploration Maturity: Early-stage project with a completed first-pass indicator mineral survey outlining a well-defined spodumene dispersion train and demonstrating strong potential for a concealed lithium pegmatite discovery
