ASX Announcement: Muvero - High-grade Lithium, Caesium, Tantalum. Tyranna Technical Director, Peter Spitalny, commented: “A strongly mineralised zone having potential to continue down below the current limit of drilling has been intersected by MRC21, MRC22, MRC24 and MRC25. The lithium grades within this zone are high and result from abundant high-purity spodumene and highlight the lithium potential of the Muvero Prospect. The presence of pollucite was anticipated and is encouraging, with potential to discover a zone of pollucite which would augment the value of the lithium mineralisation. Included within the mineralised zone intersected by MRC21, MRC22, MRD24 and MRC25 there is highgrade tantalum mineralisation, which was also noted in results from the core drilling in 2022. Interestingly, the tantalum is not always associated with lithium mineralisation and may be quite widespread throughout the entire project area. Tantalum, like lithium, is classified as a Critical Mineral. It is expensive, valuable and may prove to be an economically significant component of Muvero, and possibly other pegmatites within the Namibe Lithium Project. We anticipate additional high-grade lithium intersections, and probably also high-grade caesium and tantalum intersections, from pending assay results. Drilling will continue at Muvero and then shift to other prospects. We are confident that Investigations to discover additional lithium pegmatites will lead to definition of additional drilling targets within the Namibe Lithium Project.” #ASX #Lithium #caesium #tantalum #pegmatites #exploration #angola #TYX

Charger Metals has met the funding conditions under its farm in-deal with Rio Tinto Exploration and stands ready to hammer into Lake Johnston Lithium in the new year. The Medcalf Spodumene Prospect looks to be first off the rack, but three samples yielding high grades of 4.2, 3.7, and 3.5 per cent with visible spodumene crystals estimated to be up to half of the total volume have now offered up a third spodumene-bearing outcrop lying across a 1.2-kilometre trend. “The Rio Tinto Exploration farm-in agreement is an excellent result for Charger and its shareholders and is validation that the Lake Johnston Project has potential to host a large-scale lithium deposit. The planned significant investment by RTX will allow thorough systematic exploration over the entire project tenure, with initial exploration focused on fast-tracking the Medcalf Spodumene Prospect as well as progressing the Mt Day and Mt Gordon lithium prospects.” – Charger Managing Director Aidan Platel Bryan Dixon Terry Gardiner Jonathan Whyte #LakeJohnston #Exploration #Lithium 📰 Subscribe to MarketOpen Insights! 🗞 https://lnkd.in/g7qSSk8m

BOA Resources (ASX:BOA) Ltd has enhanced the #CriticalMinerals opportunity at the Two Tanks Prospect west of Mt Ida in Western Australia with drilling revealing numerous pegmatites with some fractionation pointing to potential #lithium mineralisation. The 18-hole aircore drilling program drilled 1,296 metres and multi-element assays recently received confirm a consistent degree of fractionation, as indicated by the K/Rb ratio. Most units showed a ratio of below 40, consistent with a fractionated pegmatitic unit and the company is planning more work to further understand prospectivity. Another development in BOA’s critical minerals strategy has been the final award of Ant Hill tenement (E63/2231) in the highly prospective Lake Johnston region of WA.

Already host to a globally significant laterite resource, the Ardea Resources Ltd EIS-funded hole into the Kalgoorlie Nickel Project has now confirmed sulphide prospectivity within its dominant landholdings. Government backed drilling also came home with lithium-caesium intrusives and very high levels of rubidium, and the result potentially opens up a massive new stretch of sulphide exploration in a region with 146 tenements and 4271 square kilometres under the Ardea banner. “Whilst Ardea are entirely focussed on concluding the Kalgoorlie Nickel Project Goongarrie Hub Strategic Partner process, the Company considers that its broader Kalgoorlie Nickel Project tenements have significant Battery and Critical Mineral exploration potential. The results from drilling the EIS core hole at Highway, have reiterated this prospectivity by confirming that the Walter Williams Formation is prospective for hosting nickel sulphide mineralisation at depth, as well as the extensive surface nickel laterite development.” – Ardea Managing Director and CEO Andrew Penkethman #EIS #Sulphides #Exploration #Nickel #Lithium 📰 Subscribe to MarketOpen Insights! 🗞 https://lnkd.in/g7qSSk8m

via The Market Herald Trinex Minerals Limited has received the final assays from a surface geochemical sampling program at its Ross Lake and MAC lithium projects in the Northwest Territories, Canada. Samples were collected over two weeks at the end of the Canadian Summer 2023 field season just north of Yellowknife, an emerging region of critical mineral exploration. #TX3 reported high-grade #lithium interceptions with a notable presence of spodumene crystals in lithium-#caesium-#tantalum (LCT) pegmatites at Ross Lake. Results included 3.31 per cent lithium oxide, 2.27 per cent lithium oxide, and 1.84 per cent lithium oxide from Trinex’s Dyke 75 area, prompting the prospect to become the company’s prime focus for #drilling in 2024.

ASX Announcement: Exploration Update February   TechGen’s Managing Director, Ashley Hood, commented: “Our exploration efforts are ongoing, with an immediate focus on multiple projects within our WA portfolio, Ida Valley (lithium), Station Creek (copper), and Mt Boggola (uranium).   We are about to commence our maiden RC drilling Lithium campaign at our 100% owned and managed Ida Valley Lithium Project, our RC rig is mobilising over the weekend all going to schedule. To date geochemistry soils modelling for lithium, caesium, tantalum (LCT) and other pathfinder elements suggests pegmatite fertility for lithium in the immediate area. While planning for our imminent RC drilling campaign, several large pegmatites were observed and sampled along an east - west RC drill line in the northern portion of the Central priority 1 LCT target area.   At the completion of this maiden RC lithium drilling campaign, our independent technical field teams will head to test identified copper and uranium targets at Station Creek and Mt Boggola in the Ashburton Province while the Company awaits its pegmatite assays.   As part of our ongoing efforts, we have been conducting a comprehensive review of our existing project portfolio. We aim to streamline our current holdings where necessary, while simultaneously exploring new opportunities for high-quality acquisitions that have the potential to enhance our portfolio with tier-one scale prospects. This aligns with our overarching objectives, which include assessing strategic growth opportunities, streamlining our portfolio to maximise returns on key projects, and maintaining fiscal responsibility while enhancing shareholder value.” Maja McGuire Andrew Jones #lithium #pegmatite #caesium #gold  #Exploration #MiningStocks #Mining #stockmarket #ASX
