North American Niobium and Critical Minerals Advance Quebec Exploration
North American Niobium and Critical Minerals Corp. initiated a radon soil-gas survey at its Blanchette and Bardy projects in Quebec.
The survey, conducted by RadonEx, began December 16, 2025, aiming to improve early-stage exploration techniques.
The projects lie approximately 40 kilometers northwest of La Tuque, targeting niobium and rare earth element (REE) mineralization.
The soil-gas survey covers 82 sample points at Blanchette and 68 points at Bardy.
North American Niobium uses this method to detect subsurface indications of niobium and REE-bearing pegmatite systems.
Initial testing focuses on the responsiveness of radon measurements to geological structures beneath overburden cover.
Radon Soil-Gas Survey Supports Strategic Exploration Growth
Radon, produced from uranium and thorium decay, can show hidden mineral deposits under soil and rock.
Past work at Blanchette found thorium-bearing minerals, giving a base for this survey method.
North American Niobium plans to improve target selection and guide cost-effective exploration across its Quebec properties.
Quebec Projects Expand North American Niobium’s Critical Minerals Reach
The Blanchette and Bardy surveys add to the company’s Silver Lake property in British Columbia.
The Quebec projects give access to niobium, rare earth elements, and nickel-copper, strengthening the company’s mineral portfolio.
CEO Murray Nye said the radon survey could provide useful geochemical data to guide future drilling.
SuperMetalPrice Commentary:
North American Niobium’s soil-gas program demonstrates a proactive, data-driven approach to early-stage exploration.
The focus on radon geochemistry underlines innovative strategies in discovering concealed critical mineral deposits.
Investors and industry stakeholders should monitor results for indications of new niobium and rare earth targets in Quebec.
