Comet Lithium Corp.
Comet Lithium Corp. (TSXV: CLIC; formerly X-Terra Resources Corp., renamed and began trading as CLIC in June 2023, Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec-headquartered) explores for lithium-bearing pegmatites in the James Bay region of Quebec across two named projects. Liberty is the company's stated flagship: permitting for an inaugural drill program is underway, following field work including 272 soil samples and LiDAR surveys. Elmer East has its own real, multi-release discovery history: a first spodumene-bearing pegmatite (Jul 2025), high-grade caesium and lithium assay results from that discovery (Aug 2025), a new pegmatite zone plus further cesium-bearing extensions (Oct 2025), and a continuous caesium-dominant LCT pegmatite confirmed over more than 200 metres of projected strike with multiple intervals exceeding 4% Cs2O (Dec 2025) -- mineralogical characterization (XRD/LIBS) is feeding into 2026 drill targeting there. No NI 43-101 resource estimate has been published for either project.
Lifecycle Milestones
Jurisdiction (40%)9/10
Quebec: Fraser PPI 2025 is 79.39 of 100 (rank 23 of 68), which maps to 9 on this site's scale. James Bay, Quebec, Canada -- Tier-1 mining jurisdiction.
Infrastructure (40%)No verified figure
Researched with nothing found: no source we could cite confirms or rules out an existing mill, road access, grid power, or tailings facility at Liberty Lithium Project, James Bay, Quebec, Canada (checked Oct 1, 2026; recheck due Mar 30, 2027). Counts at a neutral 5/10 until one does.
Nearby producing mine (20%)Not yet researched
No project coordinates on file yet, so distance to a producing mine can't be measured.
Acquisition Susceptibility
A relative ranking of how closely this company matches the profile of juniors that have actually been acquired — not a probability, and not a reason to buy. Acquisitions are rare: only a few dozen significant deals happen a year across a universe of thousands of juniors, so even a high score here describes a long shot. The strongest signal in the research, a producer that already owns part of the company, is scored from its disclosed strategic shareholders. A producer that is a joint-venture or earn-in partner on the project, rather than a shareholder, isn't captured yet.
How this score is built
- Disclosed pending dealSub-score: Not scored
No pending acquisition or merger disclosed (checked)
Not scored: having no deal in flight isn't held against a company.
Weight 26.25% - Producer's strategic stakeSub-score: Not scored
No producer holds a disclosed stake on file (holder register researched) See holders
Not scored: most juniors that do get bought had no prior toehold, so a missing stake says little either way.
Weight 25% - Distance to a producing mineSub-score: Not yet researched
Distance not yet researched: no project coordinates on file
Distance can't be measured without coordinates, so excluded rather than counted as far.
Weight 22.5% - Lifecycle stageSub-score:1/10
Stage: Grassroots Exploration
Feasibility and permitting score 10, where deals cluster, and production 5.5; earlier stages score less, down to 1 at grassroots.

Comet Lithium, formerly X-Terra Resources, explores for lithium-bearing pegmatites in the James Bay region of Quebec. Its stated flagship is the Liberty project, where permitting for an inaugural drill program is underway after field work that included 272 soil samples and LiDAR surveys. At its Elmer East project it found a spodumene-bearing pegmatite in July 2025 and, by December 2025, had confirmed a continuous caesium-dominant pegmatite over more than 200 metres of projected strike, with multiple intervals above 4% caesium oxide, which is guiding 2026 drill targeting. In April 2026 it sold its minority interest in the Veronneau property in Quebec to Cunico Metals for 1 million Cunico shares and a retained 0.5% net smelter return royalty. No NI 43-101 resource has been published for either project.
