Lithium
GlobeStar is actively conducting exploration for lithium-bearing pegmatites at the Moblan Project, in Quebec. GlobeStar fully controls 11 claims covering 163 hectares in the Moblan East area of the project and, jointly with SOQUEM, controls the Moblan West property, comprising 14 contiguous claims covering 235 hectares.
Spodumene, a lithium aluminum silicate, is the mineral of interest at Moblan. Inferred mineral resources in the Moblan West property are 5.34 million tonnes at 1.51% Li2O and at a cut-off grade of 0.43% Li2O. GlobeStar believes that the Moblan area has a strong potential for the occurrence of additional spodumene-bearing sills and dykes. Future exploration will focus on increasing the confidence level of the current resource and doing a district-scale reconnaissance of other mineralized areas.
Interest in lithium minerals has increased rapidly in the last decade, mainly because of higher demand for lithium-ion batteries. The more traditional end-uses for lithium demand in ceramics and glass remain strong.
