Metalicity Limited (ASX:MCT) (“MCT” or “Company”) is pleased to announce a program of 1,200m reverse circulation (RC) drilling at the Pilgangoora South Lithium project is underway.

The Company’s Pilgangoora South Project comprises more than 143km[2] of tenure in the world-class Wodgina/Pilgangoora district, host to the Pilgangoora Lithium Project of Pilbara Minerals (128.6Mt @ 1.22% Li2O), Altura Mining Limited (39.2Mt @ 1.02% Li2O) and the Wodgina Lithium/Tantalum Project recently purchased by Mineral Resources Limited.

To date, two key prospects have been identified and prioritised for drilling by Metalicity at Pilgangoora South being the Stannum and Turner River North prospects (Figure 1). An analysis of hyperspectral data at Stannum identified a number of priority areas (Figure 2) which were followed up by detailed mapping. Five key pegmatites with the potential to host rare metal mineralisation including lithium were identified (Figure 3).

The approved POW is for up to 1,800m of reverse circulation (RC) drilling at Stannum; and has been designed to test the lithium potential of the three northern pegmatites, Vun, Duus and Tria, (Figure 3) and determine the source of the spodumene previously observed (see MCT ASX announcement 4 August 2016). Vertically oriented RC drill holes will allow investigation of the subsurface expression of the ‘stacked’ flat-lying pegmatite bodies previously observed in mapping; and follow up the lithium anomalism previously noted across the tenement area in rock chip sampling (see MCT ASX announcements 30 March 2016 and 4 August 2016).

The Stannum prospect is well located, approximately 120km south of Port Hedland via the Great Northern Highway. Stannum is also adjacent to Mineral Resources’ Wodgina lithium operations which includes a significant lithium resource, mineral processing assets, 13MW gas fired power station, 387 bed camp, significant water rights and infrastructure.

Metalicity Managing Director, Matt Gauci, commented: “The drilling program is designed to test the length, width and depth of the pegmatites while gaining better insight into the grade/tonnage profile. The project is ideally located adjacent to existing infrastructure and a proposed downstream lithium processing facility.”
