The Radisson Property is a lithium exploration project situated in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Northern Québec. The property covers 3,504 hectares across 66 mineral claims, located approximately 5 km west of the Billy Diamond Highway and 40 km south of Camp 509. Its proximity to active lithium exploration and favorable geology makes it a strong candidate for further investigation.
The property is accessible via helicopter from Camp 509, which served as the operational base during the 2024 program. It lies close to key infrastructure, including the Billy Diamond Highway, allowing for efficient mobilization and logistics.
Radisson is underlain by intrusive units of tonalite, granodiorite, and quartz diorite, along with mafic volcanic and metasedimentary rocks. These rock types belong to the La Grande Sub-province, a region increasingly recognized for its lithium–cesium–tantalum (LCT) pegmatite potential.
Little historic exploration has been conducted on the Radisson Property. The claims were originally staked based on favorable regional geochemistry, including lake sediment anomalies in lithium, cesium, and rubidium, which are pathfinder elements for lithium-rich pegmatites.
Work completed during the 2024 exploration season included:
Several pegmatite dykes were mapped, featuring coarse-grained textures and mineral assemblages including feldspar, quartz, biotite, muscovite, and occasional garnet—typical of fertile pegmatitic systems.
A total of 42 samples were collected. Highlights include:
Several samples showed K/Rb ratios under 150 and Nb/Ta ratios below 8, consistent with geochemical signatures of evolved, lithium-fertile pegmatites.
Although spodumene was not found during this phase, the combination of mapped pegmatites and favorable geochemistry supports the Radisson Property’s potential for hosting LCT pegmatite mineralization. Priority areas for future work include the underexplored central and southeastern sections of the claim block.
