Comet Lithium launches exploration program in Québec
Two field teams will carry out a targeted, first-pass prospecting program across 35 planned lines in areas identified as highly prospective for mineralization
Intensive surface exploration program will include 35 traverses across high-priority targets
Comet Lithium stock (CSE:CLIC) last traded at $0.18
Comet Lithium (CSE:CLIC) announced the launch of its 2025 Phase 1 exploration program. The initiative is set to begin on June 13, 2025, targeting the company's 100 per cent-owned Triple L and Elmer East properties in the mineral-rich Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Québec.
The 17-day field campaign will be conducted in collaboration with Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd., bringing seasoned technical expertise to Comet's exploration strategy. Two field teams will carry out a targeted, first-pass prospecting program, including detailed mapping, sampling, and traverses across 35 planned lines in areas identified as highly prospective for mineralization.
'This initial phase is a critical step in advancing our portfolio, and our systematic, first-pass approach is designed to efficiently evaluate multiple high-priority target areas,' Vincent Metcalfe, chair and CEO of Comet Lithium said in a news release. 'At Triple L, identifying copper-nickel showings is a key focus, and our early geophysical interpretation and satellite analysis have revealed highly promising anomalies. With the expertise of our field teams and partners, we're well positioned to uncover meaningful mineralization and unlock the broader potential of both properties.'
Triple L Property: Geophysical insights drive targeting
At the Triple L Property, high-priority targets were selected based on the interpretation of 2024 high-resolution magnetic (MAG) and time-domain electromagnetic (TDEM) survey data, complemented by satellite imagery. These targets, highlighted in red on the company's exploration maps, will be investigated using a Beep Mat—a portable electromagnetic survey tool that detects conductive bodies up to three metres below the surface.
The field team will focus on refining detection of potential copper-nickel mineralization. While the geophysical anomalies are promising, Comet emphasizes that these results are preliminary and not definitive indicators of mineral discovery.
Elmer East Property: Pegmatite potential
Meanwhile, at the Elmer East Property, satellite image analysis has pinpointed several high-priority zones, particularly in the southern block, where bedrock is likely to be outcropping or sub-outcropping. These areas are considered prospective for lithium-bearing pegmatites, a key source of lithium used in electric vehicle batteries.
The exploration team will conduct systematic sampling and mapping to assess the potential of these targets, with a focus on identifying lithium-rich mineralization

Comet Lithium Reports High-Grade Caesium and Lithium Assay Results from Grassroots Pegmatite Discovery at Elmer East Project, James Bay, Québec
ROUYN-NORANDA, QC, Aug. 19, 2025 /CNW/ - Comet Lithium Corporation (TSXV: CLIC) (FSE: 8QY) ("Comet Lithium" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce assay results from the recently completed exploration program at its 100%-owned Elmer East Project ("Elmer East" or the "Property"), located in the Eastmain Greenstone Belt, James Bay region, Québec. The program, conducted from June 25 to June 30, 2025, has returned high caesium (Figure 1) and lithium assay values (Figure 2) from a newly discovered spodumene-bearing pegmatite dyke. Additionally, a trend to the east of the dyke discovery spanning over six kilometres has returned very good potassium-to-rubidium ratios (Figure 4), confirming the fertile nature of the system and high prospectivity of the Property. All 252 assay samples from the initial program have been received. Follow-up to Spodumene-Bearing Pegmatite Dyke Discovery As previously disclosed on July 9, 2025, Comet Lithium's field team, led by Dahrouge Geological Consulting, identified a grassroots LCT-type (Lithium–Caesium–Tantalum) pegmatite dyke in the southwestern portion of the southern claim block. This discovery represents a great outcome given the program's short duration. Pegmatite Dyke Characteristics: Measures between 1–2 metres in width and has been traced for approximately 80 metres in outcrop. Remains open to the east, with its western extent pinching out. Hosts spodumene, along with muscovite and tourmaline, mineralogy consistent with highly evolved LCT pegmatite systems. To date, only two grab samples have been collected from the dyke (see table below), both returning high assay results. Two grab samples from the dyke, located approximately 65 metres apart, have returned outstanding grades: Sample ID Easting Northing Coordinate System E6481203 370454.55 5811587.09 NAD83-UTM Zone 18 U E6481494 370393.76 5811607.25 NAD83-UTM Zone 18 U Flagship Sample E6481203: Lithium: 8,640 ppm Li → 1.86% Li₂O Caesium: 23,100 ppm Cs → 2.46% Cs₂O Tantalum: 610 ppm Ta → 745 ppm Ta₂O₅ Rubidium: 3,810 ppm Rb → 0.42% Rb₂O Also notable: Gallium (75 ppm) In addition to high-grade caesium and lithium grades, the dyke also returned highly elevated tantalum, rubidium and gallium values. Across the Property, seven samples returned Rubidium values over 1,000 ppm (1,094 ppm Rb 2 O), with three exceeding 2,000 ppm (2,188 ppm Rb 2 O) (Figure 3). Seven samples returned Gallium values over 50 ppm, with three exceeding 75 ppm. These geochemical signatures are consistent with highly evolved LCT-type pegmatites and reinforce the fertile nature of the Elmer East system. "Discovering such extraordinary caesium and lithium grades at surface, during our first exploration program at Elmer East, marks a transformational milestone for Comet Lithium," stated Vincent Metcalfe, Chair and Chief Executive Officer of Comet Lithium. "Caesium grades of this magnitude are exceptionally rare and represent a strategically important critical mineral, particularly when combined with significant lithium values. The geochemical signature, with high fractionation indicators and favourable K/Rb ratios, confirms the fertile nature of the system and underscores the highly prospective potential of the property, especially around the newly identified dyke. Given that this discovery was made on the second-to-last day of the program, we are confident that we have only begun to uncover Elmer East's full potential" added Mr. Metcalfe. Geological Context The newly discovered dyke lies along a prominent NNE–SSW regional structure, interpreted from magnetic survey data, within amphibolite crosscut by tonalitic and pegmatitic intrusions. Outcrop exposure is excellent (~75%), and the dyke remains open along strike, providing strong potential for additional discoveries. Geochemically, the pegmatite demonstrates advanced fractionation, as reflected in elevated Cs, Rb, and Ta contents. Potassium-to-rubidium (K/Rb) ratios remain within a favourable range, consistent with highly evolved LCT systems capable of hosting both lithium and caesium mineralization of potential economic significance. Caesium Market Context Caesium is one of the rarest critical minerals, with a highly specialized and niche market. To date, only three deposits globally have ever been commercially mined for caesium: the Tanco mine in Manitoba, Canada; the Bikita mine in Zimbabwe; and the Sinclair mine in Western Australia, which has since been depleted. Supply today is extremely limited, with Tanco historically being the world's primary source. Caesium is listed as a critical mineral by the U.S., Canada, and the European Union due to its scarcity and strategic applications in areas such as advanced electronics, defence and aerospace, specialty glass, oil and gas drilling fluids, and atomic clocks. Next Steps With all assay results now in hand, Comet Lithium will: Conduct and undertake detailed geological mapping and structural analysis to identify additional pegmatite dykes. Plan a targeted follow-up program including trenching and channel sampling. Prioritize evaluation of strike length, depth continuity, and mineral zonation of the caesium- and spodumene-bearing dyke. Cautionary statements Grab samples are selective by nature and may not be representative of mineralized zones. QAQC A Quality Assurance / Quality Control protocol following industry best practices was incorporated into the sampling program. All rock samples were collected under the supervision of Comet Lithium and Dahrouge Geological Consulting employees. All samples were logged and photographed on site while being collected. Samples were then bagged, and blanks and certified reference materials were inserted at regular intervals. Groups of samples were placed in large bags, sealed with numbered tags in order to maintain a chain-of-custody, and shipped to AGAT Laboratories in Val d'Or, Québec. All assays reported were analyzed at AGAT Laboratories in Mississauga, Ontario for multi-element using sodium peroxide fusion and ICP-OES/ICP-MS finishes under AGAT Laboratories code 210378. In the case of overlimit for Caesium (>10,000 ppm), assays were analyzed under package 201-179 using sodium peroxide fusion and ICP-OES finish. Qualified Person Vincent Cardin-Tremblay, P.
