The solution includes multiple options to support the needs of both small and large operations. Traders can manage inbound and outbound declarations from within one advanced solution.

Map of Arbor Metal Corp.’s Jarnet Lithium Claims

Arbor’s Jarnet Lithium Mine is located in the James Bay region of Quebec and is comprised of 47 map-designated claims that cover an approximate area of 3,759 hectares.

VANCOUVER, British-Columbia, Sept. 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Arbor Metals Corp. (“Arbor” or the “Company”) (TSXV: ABR, FWB: 432) announces the Company’s exploration team, currently deployed on-site, has made exciting discoveries in the north section of the Jarnet Lithium Project. Multiple untested pegmatite outcrops have been identified in this region, in close proximity to where the best samples from previous exploration programs originated.

This latest development has prompted the exploration team to allocate additional time and resources to this part of the program. The team is now focused on thoroughly examining and sampling these newfound pegmatite outcrops. Utilizing the state-of-the-art Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) laser spectrometer, the team will conduct in-depth analyses to refine and pinpoint drill targets.

President and CEO of Arbor, Mark Ferguson, expressed his enthusiasm for these discoveries, stating, “We are incredibly excited about identifying these pegmatite outcrops in our Jarnet Project. This development holds the potential to significantly impact both our current exploration program and the overall prospects of the Jarnet Lithium Project. Our team’s dedication and skill in making these discoveries are commendable.”

Arbor remains committed to conducting its exploration and mining activities with the utmost regard for environmental sensitivity and collaborating with local communities and Indigenous groups. The Company acknowledges the importance of responsible resource development in alignment with its corporate values.

The exploration team will continue its diligent work on-site, conducting further assessments and analyses, and the Company will provide updates as the program progresses.

Technical aspects of this news release have been reviewed, verified and approved by Dr. Peter Born, P.Geo, a Director of Arbor and a qualified person as defined in NI 43-101.
