Patriot Battery Metals Commences Geophysical Work Program at the Freeman Creek Gold
Property, Idaho, USA.
Vancouver, BC, Canada, Aug 5, 2021 – Patriot Battery Metals Inc. (the “Company” or “Patriot”) (CSE: PMET)
(OTCQB: RGDCD) (FSE: R9GA) is pleased to announce its has commenced a ground geophysical survey program at
the Company’s wholly owned Freeman Creek Gold Property (the “Property”). The Property is located 15 km
northeast of Salmon, Idaho, and is road accessible year-round.
The induced polarization and IP-resistivity survey will be completed over both the Carmen Creek Prospect (~10-line
km) and the Gold Dyke Prospect (~6-line km). IP-resistivity is a geophysical tool commonly used in gold and base
metal exploration and is often effective at qualifying drill targets initially developed from surface mapping and
sampling. The primary objective is to define targets for an inaugural drill program at Carmen Creek. It will also
provide additional data to refine drill hole locations for follow-up drilling at Gold Dyke.
The Company has engaged TMC Geophysics to carry-out the field survey, a leading geophysical services provider to
the mineral exploration industry with thier head office in Canada, as well as satellite offices in the United States and
Mexico. The Company has also retained Dynamic Discovery Geoscience Ltd., an expert geophysical group based in
Ottawa, ON, to assist with survey design and interpretation.
The Company is fully permitted to carrying out a follow-up drill program at the Gold Dyke Prospect in 2021, pursuant
to its declared Notice of Intent on file with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Permitting for an inaugural drill
program at the Carmen Creek Prospect is in process.
The geophysical surveys are expected to elucidate a chargeability response reflective of the sulphides present, which
are associated with gold and silver mineralization at both prospects. This association is strongest at Carmen Creek,
where sulphide content is higher. Areas of silicification or alteration, associated with the precious metal
mineralization, may also elucidate a resistivity response. The geophysical responses over the currently known
mineralized zones will be used as markers to detect similar responses over the area, which may highlight additional,
yet to be discovered zones of mineralization.
