Blair Way, Patriot's President and CEO comments, "This award acknowledges the tremendous effort of our entire team and their unwavering dedication. In very short order since our discovery hole in 2021 we have confirmed the Corvette Lithium Project in Quebec as the largest hard rock lithium discovery in the Americas and the eight largest in the world. This is a fantastic accomplishment that was validated by our recently announced maiden resource estimate. However, we are just getting started, as less than five kilometres have been drilled thus far over the property's district scale 50-kilometre trend. We are well funded now to execute on a much more extensive drill program."
