Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 6, 2024) - Pacific Bay Minerals Ltd (TSXV: PBM) ("Pacific Bay" or the "Company"), a mineral exploration company, is pleased to announce the staking of the Sphinx Mountain Rare Earth Elements Project, situated in Northern British Columbia, approximately 50km North East of Dease Lake.
Previously owned by Pacific Bay, a 2011 work program designed to follow up on anomalously high British Columbia Geology Survey (BCGS) data involving stream sediment samples identified, confirmed and expanded with resulting concentrations as high as 1.19% TREE* and 0.83% TREE* in stream sediment samples. Additional samples in the area returned exceptionally high values (0.48% TREE and 0.42% TREE) over 3.5km away with limited to no cover/exploration in between samples.
A future program this summer will aim to cover the area with mapping, prospecting and geophysics all to gain a comprehensive understanding of the region and define drill targets.
Reagan Glazier, CEO and President stated, "We're excited at the opportunity to explore for these critical minerals, expanding on the noteworthy discovery with low-impact and cost-efficient processes."
