StrategX Provides Update on Critical Metals Exploration Activities at the Nagvaak Project, Nunavut, Canada
Vancouver, Canada, December 3, 2024 – StrategX Elements Corp. (CSE: STGX) (“StrategX” or the “Company”) has mobilized and established key logistics for its 2025 exploration program at the Nagvaak Project (“Nagvaak”). Nagvaak represents a geological discovery with the potential to delineate a significant critical metals deposit on the Melville Peninsula. New regional exploration efforts and recently analyzed data have also highlighted a series of additional prospective targets.
Key Developments:
New Regional Targets Identified: Recent surface exploration efforts have identified additional critical metals targets (copper, nickel, vanadium, cobalt and graphite) within a 200 km by 100 km area in the same sedimentary belt hosting Nagvaak, showcasing the region’s substantial untapped potential. (See Figure 1.)
Drill Site & Base Camp: The Company has successfully positioned a drill rig at the first priority target site and completed the establishment of a base camp to support the 2025 drill campaign at Nagvaak. (See Figure 2.)
Supply Chain Established: Three container shipments of equipment and materials were delivered to the Melville Peninsula in September and October, ensuring a robust inventory to support future exploration activities.
Community Engagement: StrategX continues fostering strong relationships with local communities, prioritizing local employment and partnering with an Inuit-owned company to manage the camp and provide logistical support.
Operational Planning: Final preparations are underway to secure contractors for the 2025 exploration program, utilizing innovative and cost-effective approaches to maximize operational efficiency and extend the exploration season.
