St-Georges Eco-Mining Uncovers Critical Minerals at Notre-Dame Project
Montréal, Québec -- March 26, 2025 -- NewsGenie -- St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp. (CSE: SX) (OTC: SXOOF) (FSE: 85G1) has announced promising preliminary findings from its Notre-Dame Critical Minerals Project, located in the Nitassinan territory of the Innu First Nation of Mashteuiatsh. Surface sampling and early mineralogical analysis confirm the presence of niobium, tantalum, gallium, and rare earth elements.
These results validate the company's exploration hypothesis, highlighting the project's potential for technology and energy transition metals. Anomalous values of niobium, tantalum, gallium, and rare earth minerals were consistently found across multiple targets within the Notre-Dame Project. The data supports expanded exploration in the upcoming season.
CEO Herb Duerr stated the findings underscore the significance of the underexplored region, noting a carbonatite body extending at least 75 meters in length and up to 20 meters in width. Surface mineralization traces consistently to depths of 16 to 36 meters, with successful drill hole intersections of the geological structure and niobium mineralization.
Additional fieldwork will commence this spring, including trenching, detailed mapping, and expanded sampling. Metallurgical testing will assess the extractability of the identified minerals using eco-friendly methods.
2024 work confirmed a carbonatite dike measuring 75 meters by 20 meters, open in several directions, containing anomalous REE and Nb-Ta elements. Preliminary surface sampling from an 8-meter channel yielded niobium values from 100 to 2,360 ppm, tantalum from 10 to 60 ppm, gallium from 15 to 48 ppm, and total rare earths from 200 to 4,000 ppm. Drilling results showed niobium values exceeding 2,215 ppm in several intervals.
