Comet Lithium Corp

What Comet Lithium Corp does

Comet Lithium Corp is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on the identification and development of lithium-bearing pegmatite deposits in the James Bay region of Quebec. Incorporated in June 2023 through the renaming of X-Terra Resources Corporation, the company is publicly listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (CLIC) and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (8QY). Its portfolio comprises approximately 280 km² of prospective lithium exploration ground across five 100%-owned properties: Liberty (19.5 km², the flagship asset contiguous to Winsome Resources' Adina deposit), Troilus East (92 km²), Pontax South and East (41 km² combined, acquired from Nomad Resource Partners), Galli (20 km²), and Triple Lithium (106 km²).

The company's exploration methodology integrates conventional geophysical surveys — ground gravity (Scintrex CG-6), LIDAR, induced polarization, and magnetic — with machine learning-assisted target generation via a collaboration with VRIFY Technology Inc., which applies deep learning and computer vision architectures trained on drillhole, geochemistry, and mineral occurrence data. Exploration activities are supported by a contracted technical team including Dahrouge Geological Consulting, Géophysique TMC, NewGen Geo, and XEOS Aerial Imagery. Comet has secured drilling permits at Liberty and conducted soil sampling, gravity surveys, and LIDAR surveys as precursors to its first-ever drill program.

Comet Lithium is pre-revenue, with no commercial production, defined mineral resources, or product sales. Its operating model is that of a junior exploration company: capital is raised through equity financings (most recently a $2.58M CAD private placement in December 2023) and deployed into staged exploration programs with the objective of defining a mineral resource, advancing to a Preliminary Economic Assessment or Feasibility Study, and ultimately either developing a mine or monetizing through sale, joint venture, or royalty arrangement. The intended end-market is the lithium-ion battery supply chain serving electric vehicle manufacturers and energy storage applications, aligned with Quebec government positioning of the province as a primary North American lithium source. The company is led by former Nomad Royalty executives Vincent Metcalfe (CEO/Chairman) and Vincent Cardin-Tremblay (VP Exploration), supported by a board including mining finance, legal, and engineering expertise.

Core offering

Comet Lithium is a publicly traded lithium-focused mineral exploration company operating a portfolio of approximately 280 km² of prospective lithium ground in Quebec's James Bay region, including the flagship Liberty Property (19.5 km²) contiguous to Winsome Resources' Adina lithium deposit. The company systematically advances these spodumene-bearing pegmatite targets using a combination of gravity, LIDAR, magnetic, and IP geophysical surveys alongside VRIFY Technology's proprietary AI/machine learning algorithms to generate and rank drill targets. The company is pre-revenue and currently focused on exploration, with the goal of identifying and advancing lithium deposits toward mineral resource definition.

Product overview

Comet Lithium Corp is a lithium-focused mineral exploration company that does not offer a software product or SaaS platform. The company's offering consists of a portfolio of five lithium exploration properties in the James Bay region of Quebec, Canada: the flagship Liberty Property (19.5 km²) adjacent to Winsome Resources' Adina deposit, Troilus East Property (92 km²), Pontax South and East (41 km² combined), Galli Property (20 km²), and Triple Lithium Property (106 km²). The company is advancing these properties through systematic exploration including gravity surveys, field programs, and AI-assisted target generation via its VRIFY collaboration, with the goal of identifying lithium-bearing pegmatite deposits.

Products and services

• Liberty Property A 19.5 km² lithium exploration property in the Trieste Formation greenstone belt in James Bay, Quebec. The flagship asset is contiguous to Winsome Resources' Adina lithium deposit (59 Mt at 1.12% Li2O) and represents the company's primary focus for first-ever drilling, with gravity surveys, LIDAR, and VRIFY AI/ML target generation underway.
• Troilus East Property A 92 km² lithium exploration property located on the Frotet-Evans greenstone belt in James Bay, Quebec, contiguous to the eastern boundary of a major gold deposit being advanced by Troilus Gold and on the contact with the Parker Granite Pluton. Historical sampling returned up to 248 ppm lithium and the property has never been systematically explored for lithium despite geological similarity to known spodumene-bearing pegmatites such as the Moblan deposit approximately 50 km to the south.
• Pontax South and East Properties Two lithium exploration properties totaling 41 km² (76 mining claims) located in the Pontax greenstone belt adjacent to Li-FT Power Ltd.'s Pontax Project, acquired from Nomad Resource Partners Inc. in November 2023.
• Galli Property A 20 km² lithium exploration property located 15 km along strike of the La Grande greenstone belt in Quebec's James Bay region.
• Triple Lithium Property A 106 km² lithium exploration property located within the Rupert-Cabot structural corridor in Quebec's James Bay region, representing the largest single property in the portfolio.
