Trijet Mining Corp. is pleased to announce the acquisition of a Rare Earth Element (REE) property located 200 km ENE of the town of Schefferville, Quebec. The property consists of 119 claims covering approximately 5819 hectares and occurs within the Mistastin Batholith, which forms a large Mesoproterozoic intrusive complex emplaced in the Precambrian Rae Province.
The Mistastin Batholith contains several suites of REE-bearing peralkaline granitic and syenitic plutons notably the Quest Rare Minerals Strange Lake and the Misery Lake intrusive complex and the Ytterby 2 and 3 syenitic pluton of Midland Exploration (HREE and Y). The Trijet REE property is contiguous to the northern boundary of Misery lake property. The later is defined by a large concentric magnetic feature associated with a 6-km diameter, compositionally-zoned ultramafic to granitic alkali intrusive complex.
Reconnaissance bedrock sampling yielded results of up to 27% Fe2O3, 1.2% P2O5 and 2.25 wt. % TREO. The Strange Lake deposit is located 33 km northwest of the Trijet claims. The deposit is hosted by and genetically related to a riebeckite-aegirine peralkaline granite. Most of the REE-Zr-Y mineralization occurs in zoned lenses of pegmatite-aplite. Quest Rare Minerals has published an inferred mineral resource of 115 MT @1.0 wt. % REE and 1.97 wt. % ZrO2.
