On Wednesday, Raymond James adjusted its price target on shares of Patriot Battery Metals Inc. (PMET:CN), reducing it to Cdn$12.50 from the previous Cdn$13.50. Despite the price target reduction, the firm maintained its Outperform rating on the stock.
Patriot Battery Metals, a lithium exploration company, is developing its wholly-owned Shaakichiuwaanaan property in Quebec, which is becoming known as a lithium and battery hub. The property is strategically located near essential infrastructure, which is a significant advantage for the company.
The Shaakichiuwaanaan property is notable for its numerous pegmatites. Recently, Patriot Battery Metals disclosed a consolidated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for its CV5 and CV13 spodumene pegmatites.
The report outlines an indicated resource of 80.1 million tonnes at 1.44% lithium oxide (Li2O) and an inferred resource of 62.5 million tonnes at 1.31% Li2O. This resource positions the property as one of the largest lithium pegmatite resources in the Americas when considering contained lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE).
The firm's analyst highlighted the significant size and grade of the Shaakichiuwaanaan property, along with its favorable location and the exploration potential that it holds. The jurisdiction in Quebec also offers a lower risk profile, which adds to the location's attractiveness for development.
Furthermore, Raymond James noted Patriot Battery Metals' strong balance sheet, which provides the company with flexibility. The firm believes that the combination of these factors gives investors a favorable opportunity to gain exposure to the lithium market through Patriot Battery Metals.
