Canamera Energy Metals Corp. (CSE: EMET) (OTCQB: EMETF) (FSE: 4LF0) has identified a third rare earth target at its Turvolândia Ionic Clay Rare Earth Project in Brazil, following assay results from auger hole TUV-AUG-0043. The hole intersected 14 metres of rare earth mineralization from surface to the end of the hole, which remained open at depth. It averaged 2,208.6 ppm total rare earth oxides (TREO), including 664.7 ppm magnetic rare earth oxides plus yttrium, confirming the new Linda target located between the company’s previously identified Cordis and Marita targets.
The results establish a three-target exploration corridor across the project, with Linda situated 3.3 kilometers north of Marita and 3.7 kilometers northwest of Cordis. The company noted that all samples returned Chemical Index of Alteration values above 70%, averaging approximately 83%, consistent with highly weathered clay profiles associated with ionic adsorption clay-hosted rare earth deposits. Management is evaluating follow-up drilling programs to test mineralization continuity between the three targets and explore depth potential at Linda. The full press release is available at https://ibn.fm/nTxPd.
This development is significant because it expands the known mineralization at Turvolândia, suggesting the project may host a substantial ionic clay-hosted rare earth system. Ionic clay deposits are particularly valuable as they typically allow for low-cost, environmentally friendly extraction methods. The confirmation of a third target increases the potential scale of the project and provides multiple zones for further exploration. The high Chemical Index of Alteration values indicate extensive weathering, which is favorable for the formation of ionic clay deposits.
