By GlobalDataIn a press statement, Musk Metals said: “The Ile Interdite property hosts an important beryl showing that was identified in the 1960s by the same group of Quebec government geologists who reported spodumene at both Whabouchi and Cyr deposit’s locations.
“Beryl is a relatively rare pathfinder mineral for lithium, often observed in pegmatites. At Ile Interdite, beryl is disseminated in a pegmatite.”
Subject to applicable regulatory approvals, the transaction is due to be closed no later than 31 July 2023.
