Lancaster Resources Expands Footprint in James Bay with Additional Claims at Lac Iris Polymetallic Project
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lancaster Resources Inc. (CSE:LCR) (OTC Pink:LANRF) (FRA:6UF) (“Lancaster” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce that it has acquired a 100% interest in additional mineral claims, “Lac Iris 4”, at the Lac Iris Polymetallic Project in the James Bay region of Quebec. These new claims were acquired through directly staked mineral applications that have been reviewed and approved by the Québec mining authority, Ministère des Resources Naturelles et des Forêts, (MRNF).
Acquisition Highlights
-
Strategic Location: The new Lac Iris property is situated just 10–11 km southeast of the Nisk and Lion discoveries by Power Metallic Mines Inc., and just 7.5km from the Lac Iris claims announced on August 27, 2025.1
-
Significant Land Package: The new acquisition adds approximately 1175 hectares across a single contiguous package and bolsters Lancaster’s existing mineral claims in the Lac Iris Project in James Bay to ~1870ha, an increase of ~170%.
-
Prospective Geology: The project lies along the geological trend hosting the Whabouchi Lithium pegmatite deposit and the Nisk polymetallic nickel-copper sulphide deposit and is positioned at the boundary between the La Grande and Opatica Subprovinces—a deep-seated crustal feature known for pegmatites and polymetallic mineralization.
-
Reinforces Polymetallic Portfolio Growth: The acquisition strengthens Lancaster’s exploration footprint in the Nemaska area, and compliments its Lake Cargelligo Gold Project in New South Wales, Australia.
“Lancaster is very excited about securing these mineral claims. The properties greatly enhance our exploration potential in the James Bay region,” said Andrew Watson, President and CEO of Lancaster Resources. “This addition strengthens Lancaster’s pursuit of precious and critical metal discoveries, complementing our Lake Cargelligo district-scale gold project, as we remain focused on growing shareholder value.”
The proximity of the Lac Iris properties to adjacent or nearby mineral properties, including the NISK Project and the Whabouchi Mine, is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization on the Lac Iris properties. There is no certainty that exploration at Lac Iris will result in similar discoveries or resource estimates.
