Due to heightened fire restrictions, Patriot Battery Metals (TSX-V: PMET) said today it is suspending some operations at its Quebec project.

The company commenced its 2023 summer-fall drill and surface exploration programs in late May at its wholly-owned Corvette property in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec.

"The recent restrictions imposed by the Quebec government, as a result of the regional forest fire situation, is directly impacting our exploration operations and, therefore, the company has temporarily ceased drilling and surface exploration field activities until the situation improves," wrote the company. "The company continues to process drill core from holes completed at the Property in May 2023 as well as advance the exploration camp construction activities."
