Frontier progressing work on PAK lithium DFS
Canadian exploration and development company Frontier Lithium is targeting 2025 for the completion of a definitive feasibility study (DFS) for the PAK project, in Ontario.
The company is using funding from a joint venture (JV) partnership with Mitsubishi – announced in March – to progress the project towards a vertically integrated DFS.
Through the JV partnership, Mitsubishi has acquired an initial 7.5% interest in the project for C$25-million. This investment, Frontier says, underscores the confidence in the size, quality and strategic importance of the project to the North American electric vehicle supply chain
The PAK project encompasses about 27 000 ha of land in Ontario, with two spodumene-bearing lithium deposits delineated since 2013.
During the June quarter, Frontier completed its Phase XIII drill programme, which included four holes at the Spark deposit, extending this deposit and delineating the Bolt pegmatite. As of March 2024, a total of 11 364 m were drilled across 46 holes. At the PAK deposit, 2 033 m of geomechanical and hydrogeological drilling was completed in preparation for the proposed DFS.
DRA Americas is assisting Frontier with the preparation of the mine and mill portion of the DFS. Environmental baseline studies are ongoing to support project permitting, and infrastructure works are being completed to continue to support the DFS in relation to stockpiles, tailing management, the mill, and related facilities.
