Initial Target Areas are continuations of major pegmatite belts near Bald Hill Lithium operation. Limited historical drilling indicated anomalous Lithium in assays within Project area. Adjoins near term producing Bald Hill Lithium Operations, owned by Alliance Mineral Assets. Results to be reported as they become available throughout the quarter.

Metalicity Limited (ASX:MCT) (“MCT” or “Company”) is pleased to announce exploration activities are set to commence at the Lake Cowan Lithium Project after execution of Heritage Agreements with the Ngadju Traditional Owners and subsequent grant of E15/1502 and E15/1503 (Lake Cowan Lithium Project) by the Department of Mines and Petroleum (DMP).

Lake Cowan Lithium Project

The Lake Cowan Lithium Project is located immediately south and east of the Bald Hill Lithium Operations owned and operated by Alliance Mineral Assets. Tawana Resources NL (Tawana ASX release 11/7/2016) (Figure 2) have recently acquired an Option over three Exploration Licenses located north of the Bald Hill where resource and exploration drilling is underway, and more recently acquired a further Option over 50% of mineral rights, processing plant and infrastructure at the Bald Hill Operation (Tawana ASX release 24/10/2016, Figure 2).

The geology of the area is dominated by Archaean Mt Belches Formation metasedimentary units, intruded by granites and pegmatites. Of main interest is the Mt Belches-Bald Hill pegmatite belt which strikes southwest into Metalicity’s Lake Cowan Project (Figure 2). The continuation of this belt defines an Initial Target Area of approximately 10km in length and 4km in width, representing an extensive and highly prospective opportunity to define lithium mineralisation in this rapidly emerging lithium district.

In this area a shallow veneer of cover material obscures much of the bedrock, but previous drilling for tantalum by Haddington Resources in the area indicated anomalous Lithium and Rubidium in assays from bottom of hole samples (Trautman, 2006), presenting excellent targets for follow up work. Pegmatites have been observed within the Metalicity tenure during visits to the area (see MCT ASX release 17 August 2016).

Metalicity plans to follow up the historic results, and undertake a comprehensive grid of surface and auger geochemical sampling to further refine target areas for subsequent reverse-circulation (RC) drilling.

Managing Director, Matt Gauci, commented:

“The initial target area of 10km x 4km represents an extensive and highly prospective opportunity to define lithium mineralisation under thin cover in this rapidly emerging lithium district, which hosts established infrastructure and a near term lithium production centre at Bald Hill.”
