CDN Maverick expands land packages in James Bay

Executive Summary

• CDN Maverick Capital Corp. has expanded its land portfolio in James Bay, Quebec, by staking 170 new mineral claims (9,222 hectares) at the Chabinoche and Poncheville properties.
• The company now controls over 14,782 hectares (approx. 147.8 sq km) of ground, strategically positioned between the prolific Frotet-Evans greenstone belt and the Matagami VMS camp.
• The expansion targets underexplored southern extensions of the Frotet-Evans greenstone belt, aiming to define drill-ready targets for multiple commodity systems including gold, copper, lithium, and base metals.

Key Details

• New Claims Staked: 170 claims totaling 9,222 hectares.
  • Chabinoche: 98 claims.
  • Poncheville: 72 claims.
• Total Tenure: Over 14,782 hectares (approx. 147.8 square kilometers) including existing Nottaway claims.
• Geological Context: Claims are located along interpreted southern extensions of the Frotet-Evans greenstone belt (FEGB), an Archean terrane hosting major deposits such as Troilus (Au-Cu), Moblan (Li), and Q2 Metals' Cisco LCT pegmatite.
• Strategic Location: Properties sit between the FEGB to the north and the Matagami VMS camp to the south.
  • Nearby Major Assets: Lac Rocher (Ni-Cu-PGE), Montviel (REE-Nb), and Q2 Metals' Cisco lithium discovery are within a 30-kilometer radius.
• Specific Target Areas:
  • Chabinoche (West): Consolidated ground along the interpreted greenstone belt extension adjacent to the Nottaway structural corridor.
  • Chabinoche (Northeast): Extended toward the contact between the Poncheville intrusive suite and greenstone stratigraphy, within 200 meters of the Lac Rocher trend.
  • Poncheville (South): Control of most of the Zaza geophysical anomaly, a prominent potassium-enriched magnetic feature with no previous drilling.
• Historical Data & Drilling:
  • Nottaway: Historic Soquem drilling intersected Zn-Pb-Ag-Au mineralization spatially associated with sheared pillow lavas within the Nottaway shear.
  • 2014 Reinterpretation: Effigis identified multiple additional volcano-sedimentary panels in the area.
  • 2017-2018 Prospecting: Identified new volcano-sedimentary outcrops inside Maverick's current tenure.
• Current Activities: Maverick is compiling and integrating historical and government data sets into a National Instrument 43-101 framework, including reprocessing geophysical and geochemical data to refine geological models and define drill-ready targets.

Notable Quotes

• "Maverick identified a clear opportunity to secure ground with outstanding geological context that has not yet received the systematic work it deserves. The timing was perfect to bring these targets under our control and to continue to advance our generative business plan in the James Bay area systematically. This expansion gives us exposure to multiple commodities and discovery opportunities with solid geological foundations." — Simon Studer, Interim CEO
