Projects Update
Allan Frame, the President and CEO of Beyond, stated: "Despite the uncertain and volatile global economy and market, Beyond will continue to play an active role in exploring for critical minerals in Canada. Following a comprehensive technical review by our technical team, we have streamlined our project portfolio to focus on two assets: the Ear Falls Spodumene Project in Ontario and the Rare One Project in British Columbia. While executing on our current exploration plans, we are actively evaluating additional high-impact projects and opportunities that align with the Company's strategic vision and long-term growth objectives."
Rare One Project, British Columbia
The Rare One Project is located in southwestern British Columbia with great highway and logging road access from the city of Cranbrook.
Potential to explore for two styles of mineralization including rare earth elements and Mississippi Valley-Type (MVT) lead-zinc mineralization.
Close to $1-million in exploration expenditures completed from 2005 to 2017:
Stream sampling confirmed the presence of monazite, which is rich in light rare earth elements;
Preliminary digitization of gravity surveys and soil grid samplings outlined several exploration targets to be followed up by tightened soil grid sampling;
Regional mapping established a northeast-southwest trend.
Ear Falls Spodumene Project, Ontario
The Ear Falls Spodumene Project is located near the town of Ear Falls in Northwestern Ontario with excellent infrastructures.
Highly evolved spodumene-bearing pegmatites have been identified within a 13 km long structural corridor.
A comprehensive geochemistry baseline of the project has been established based on the biogeochemistry survey and the shallow test hole program completed by the Company during the 2023 and the 2024 seasons, which can be utilized to further explore for buried lithium mineralization.
Spodumene-bearing pegmatites have >96% spodumene liberation based on TIMA, Tescan Integrated Mineral Analyzer, study completed by the Company in 2024, which is potentially beneficial for downstream processing.
The Ear Falls Spodumene Project is fully permitted for diamond drilling, stripping and trenching, and ground geophysical survey by the Ontario Ministry of Mines.
Lawrence Tsang, the VP Exploration of Beyond, commented: "We are excited with the addition of the Rare One Project to our project portfolio. It is an exciting opportunity that aligns with our exploration strategy. Our technical team remains focused on advancing our projects based on fundamental geology and boots on the ground. In short, we will begin with systematic mapping and sampling to guide the next phases of discovery."
