Executive Summary

  • Linear Minerals Corp. announced the results of its initial exploration program at the Lac Marion uranium and rare earth element (REE) property in Quebec.
  • The program confirmed five uranium showings and identified significant radiometric anomalies, with high-grade uranium assays and elevated REE values across the 2,760-hectare land package.
  • Key findings include uranium assays up to 0.463% U3O8, total REE values up to 1,364 ppm, and a radioactive zone traced along a 215-metre strike length.

Key Details

  • Uranium Assays: Values ranged from 0.002% to 0.463% triuranium octoxide (U3O8), with six samples returning values above 0.1% U3O8.
  • Rare Earth Elements (REE): Total REE values ranged from 8 ppm to 1,364 ppm. Light REE values ranged from 7.73 ppm to 1,129.33 ppm, while heavy REE values ranged from 2.98 ppm to 625.66 ppm.
  • Other Elements: Elevated values were noted for:
    • P2O5: 0.02% to 4.97%
    • Rubidium: 2 ppm to 515 ppm
    • Molybdenum: <2 ppm to 569 ppm
    • Lead: 6 ppm to 3,180 ppm
  • Showings Confirmed: Five uranium showings were confirmed and partially extended: JRB-4-New, Marielle Lake, Lac Lafargue, Effiat Lake/Pond zone, and Lac Marion.
  • Radiometric Surveys: High scintillometer readings ranged from 700 counts per second (cps) to 57,000 cps at the JRB-4-new and other historical showings. A radioactive zone was traced along a 215-metre strike length.
  • Property Details: The Lac Marion property consists of 49 mineral claims covering approximately 2,759.80 hectares in the Grenville geological province, located near Mont Laurier in southwestern Quebec.
  • Methodology: Exploration included geological mapping, prospecting, radiometric surveys, and rock sampling. Samples were analyzed by Activation Laboratories (Actlabs) using codes 5D-U3O8 assay DNC and Code 8-REE.
  • Qualified Person: Afzaal Pirzada, PGeo, geological consultant, reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information in accordance with National Instrument 43-101.
