09:07 AM EDT, 08/26/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Comet Lithium ( XTRRF ) said Monday that it identified two highly prospective zones during its phase-one exploration program at the Liberty project in Quebec.

The company said the results were from two weeks of fieldwork in which it collected and sent 127 rock samples to the laboratory for assaying.

Comet added that seven anomalous angular boulder and outcrop samples reported K/Rb ratio values below 55, with five samples showing ratios below 7.5, indicating strong potential for lithium-cesium-tantalum pegmatites.

"Our recently completed fieldwork program has greatly reinforced our confidence in the Liberty property's potential, particularly with the identification of the Stardust dyke and two highly prospective areas-both of which are very positive developments," President and CEO Vincent Metcalfe said. "As we continue our work, we believe that further updates from the Adina and Galinee summer programs will further highlight the continuity and significance of the Trieste Lithium greenstone belt."
