Wildcat Resources’ Post

We've recommenced diamond drilling at our Tabba Tabba Lithium Project, near Port Hedland, in Western Australia after a temporary drilling pause to enable an expansion of camp facilities and exploration infrastructure. Undertaking this work was a necessary step to allow continued escalation of drilling capability in 2024, with four diamond rigs expected before the end of January and additional rigs mobilising to site in February. While drilling will continue to focus on finding the extents of the growing Leia and Chewy pegmatite systems, access to additional rigs will also allow for drilling to begin targeting inside the known boundaries of Leia to increase confidence and geological understanding and aid technical studies to fast-track the existing discovery. As per our ASX announcement of 26 October 2023, Ajanth (AJ) Saverimutto has commenced as Managing Director, and Tim Mannners will commence as CFO on the 5th of February 2024. Managing Director AJ Saverimutto said: “The crews have been busy over the Christmas break upgrading our camp and site infrastructure for the continuation and expansion of our aggressive drill programs at Tabba Tabba. We look forward to the months ahead as we continue to define and explore Leia and other pegmatite targets, whilst progressing our permitting and evaluation studies.” Read the full ASX Announcement here: https://bit.ly/3S9PZBH #WC8 #Wildcat #lithium #ASX #ASXnews #exploration #drilling #miningnews

We've received exceptional high-grade lithium results from our Luke Pegmatite discovery highlighting the growing potential of the Tabba Tabba Lithium Project, near Port Hedland, in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The discovery has expanded to more than 800m in strike length, with significant intercepts including 43.0m at 1.4% Li₂O and 54.4m at 1.2% Li₂O. Since acquiring the Tabba Tabba project a year ago, we have conducted more than 90,000m of drilling. Exploration has identified a 3.2km long LCT pegmatite field hosting several significant pegmatite bodies. Most drilling has focused on the Leia deposit, which is now 2.2km long, with mineralisation extending from surface and continuing down plunge. Recent assay results support the belief that Luke may be higher grade than other pegmatite bodies discovered to date. Managing Director Ajanth (AJ) Saverimutto said: “These latest broad mineralised zones at the Luke Pegmatite are exceptional. We are very excited, as the new results confirm the discovery has broad, high-grade zones sitting directly beneath our Leia Pegmatite body. Luke has potential to have a significant positive impact on the overall system. We have four rigs onsite, aggressively drilling new targets at Tabba Tabba. The Luke discovery is testament to the quality of our geological team and their target generation.” Wildcat is well funded with $90.1 million cash at end of Q3, positioned to complete aggressive drilling and advance development studies at Tabba Tabba in 2024.

Over the next six months, we plan to drill 100,000m at our Tabba Tabba Lithium Project near Port Hedland, Western Australia. The drill program includes additional drilling to find extensions at Leia, as well as infill drilling for resource definition. Discovery drilling will focus on the Boba, Han, Chewy, and The Hutt pegmatites.   We received quantitative XRD results for 21 RC samples collected at Tabba Tabba in September 2023. The XRD results, when combined with other geological and mineralogical data, highlight Leia as a spodumene-dominant pegmatite with simple mineralogy. This gives us an increased understanding of the pegmatite fractionation and improves the exploration model.   Managing Director Ajanth (AJ) Saverimutto said: “XRD has confirmed that spodumene is the dominant lithium mineral at our Leia discovery. The geology team has been able to utilise the information to prioritise its exploration concepts and we are eager to commence drilling additional targets whilst simultaneously progressing Leia, with 100,000m of drilling planned at Tabba Tabba over the next six months to rapidly advance our understanding of the project’s geology and scale. Leia is still open along strike and at depth and is the first of six pegmatites with exploration potential.”   Tabba Tabba is near some of the world’s largest hard-rock lithium mines, and is only 80km by road to Port Hedland.   The exciting Leia Pegmatite is one of six significant pegmatite prospects within the 3.2km long LCT pegmatite field. All the pegmatite prospects at Tabba Tabba remain open and we are continuing with an aggressive exploration campaign.   Read the full ASX Announcement here: bit.ly/3vOQngj #WC8 #Wildcat #lithium #drilling #exploration #WesternAustralia

A 20-hole RC drilling program targeting lithium and rare earths at the Padre Paraiso Project located in the Lithium Valley is set to commence. This is the third drilling program across our Brazilian portfolio. The Padre Paraiso Project is in close proximity to Sigma's Grota Do Cirilo lithium-producing mine and Latin Resources' Colinas Resource. The auger program is planned across 400m spacings with an average depth of 12m and is designed to test the regolith profile on thorium anomalies as well as to follow up on previous work that identified anomalous soil samples which include 103ppm Li in the north-east of the license. Drilling in the south-east of the license will test previously completed geochemical results which have detected soil samples grading up to 711ppm total rare earths oxide (TREO). Managing Director, Jim Malone commented, "We are delighted that our third auger drilling program has commenced in the Lithium Valley. This project area is well located near some major Lithium discoveries including Sigma Lithium Corp’s world class Grota Do Cirilo project, which sits 40km’s from our license. The area is also highly prospective for REE.  Si6 now has three drilling programs occurring concurrently at three of our 10 joint venture projects in Brazil. This once again demonstrates our plan to aggressively explore our strategically acquired projects in Brazil”.

via @miningcomau ‘High-grade’ results at W2 similar to Woodie Woodie Black Canyon Limited reports that it has intersected “high-grade” mineralisation at the W2 Prospect, with portable x-ray fluorescent (pXRF) analysis showing grade ranges of between 15% and 55% manganese. #BCA has completed a maiden reverse circulation drilling program at the W2 and KR2 prospects. W2 is part of the Wandanya Project within the Company’s flagship Balfour #Manganese Field in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, which hosts a resource of 314 million tonnes @ 10.5% for 33.1 million tonnes of contained manganese. Managing Director Brendan Cummins says with each hole drilled, Black Canyon begins to build a picture of the distribution, thickness and internal structure of the #mineralisation. “What was of particular interest was the consistency of the horizon over 240m strike and how we intersected mineralisation on the eastern-most holes on every line, so the mineralisation remains open to the north, south and east,” he says. The mineralisation is interpreted as fault related hydrothermal, stratabound manganese enrichment, which Black Canyon says represents a “significant new exploration model” on the eastern margin of the Oakover Basin.

#ASXNews New Regional Lithium Drill Targets at Carlingup NickelSearch Limited is pleased to provide an update in assessing #lithium potential and defining targets within its wider Carlingup Project near Ravensthorpe in Western Australia. Following on from successful work around the Quarry, exploration has progressed into other target areas within the 100% owned tenure. • 14 lithium #drill targets are now identified across the broader Carlingup Project. • The new targets are based on new soil sampling results and re-assaying of historical drilling pulps from the Nindilbillup nickel laterite deposit. • The review and re-assaying of selected historical drilling pulps at the Nindibillup #nickel laterite deposit has returned anomalous lithium-#caesium-#tantalum (LCT) results: • 2m @ 791 ppm Li2O, 162 ppm Cs, and 816 ppm Rb from 135m (NRC030), including 1m @ 1,036 ppm Li2O, 209 ppm Cs, and 1,000 ppm Rb, • 4m @ 280 ppm Li2O, 21 ppm Cs, 12 ppm Ta, and 72 ppm Nb from 17m (PE082), including 1m @ 538 ppm Li2O, 66 ppm Cs, 21 ppm Ta, and 66 ppm Nb, and • 3m @ 233 ppm Li2O, 65 ppm Nb and 39 ppm Ga from 25m (PE093), including 1m @ 372 ppm Li2O, 85 ppm Nb, and 47 ppm Ga. (Down hole widths, true width not known) • Many of the new drill targets sit outside of the private landholding (which hosts the lithium Quarry anomaly) that is the subject of ongoing land access negotiations for drilling, therefore drilling of these new targets can be progressed separately. • Low cost on-ground #exploration scheduled to commence for new tenements acquired during late 2023. #NIS’ Managing Director, Nicole Duncan, commented: “Our work at the Quarry, where we exposed boulders of spodumene-bearing pegmatites in surface stockpiles, encouraged us to explore further afield in our tenement package. “In addition to our fieldwork, we studied our large dataset from historic exploration, and now have 14 drill targets plus 30 ongoing Areas of Interest.” Full announcement: https://loom.ly/iLKeMwY #NickelSearch #ASX
