ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
19 February 2025
Applications for High-Potential WA Lithium & Gold Tenements Secured
HIGHLIGHTS:
-
Applications for seven (7) exploration licences in the highly prospective Southern Cross Greenstone Belt secured
-
Southern Cross Greenstone Belt is a world-class mining district with deformed greenstone sequences, lithium-bearing pegmatites, and proximity to significant gold systems – it extends from the Earl Grey Lithium Mine (mineral resource estimate 189Mt @ 1.53% Li ₂ O[1] to north of the Marvel Loch Gold Centre
-
while continuing to unlock value in Western Australia
Chariot Corporation Limited (ASX: CC9) (“ Chariot ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to announce its seven (7) applications for exploration licences in the Southern Cross Greenstone Belt in Western Australia, which are held through a wholly owned subsidiary.
regions with over 150 mines, is now emerging as a key region for lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatites.
The recent application for E77/3274, together with the six prior applications, will establish a substantial exploration position for Chariot in the Southern Cross Greenstone Belt upon grant.
Chariot's strategic, countercyclical approach in Western Australia has enabled the Company to secure high-potential licenses relinquished by gold exploration companies in 2023 and lithium exploration companies in 2024 - positioning itself ahead of the next lithium exploration cycle.
Chariot has a strong track record in monetising lithium assets in Western Australia, highlighted by the profitable sale of fourteen (14) exploration licences to St George Mining Limited (“ St George Mining ”) in 2023. As part of the transaction with St George Mining, Chariot retained royalty and milestone payment interests, ensuring continued exposure to the upside potential of the sold licences.

The applications are strategically positioned between the Earl Grey Lithium Mine (189Mt @ 1.53% Li ₂ O) and the Marvel Loch Gold Centre, within the highly prospective Archean Yilgarn Craton, which is renowned for its lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatites and high-grade gold deposits.
Key geological attributes :
-
Deformed greenstone sequences with late-stage granitic intrusions.
-
Structural corridors hosting lithium-bearing pegmatites.
Priority Exploration Targets (Upon Grant)
-
E77/3088 – Flagged as a high-potential target for both gold and lithium and will be the initial focus for exploration.
-
E77/3274 – Contains the Gem rubellite bearing pegmatite and has gold exploration potential. The tenement lies within the mafic greenstone belt, which hosts the Earl Grey lithium deposit and Bounty gold deposit.
-
E77/3076 & E77/3078 – Prospective for pegmatite hosted lithium, with potentially favourable structural settings.
| Tenement ID | Status | Application Date | Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| E77/3076 | Application | 27/2/2023 | 2.91 km2 |
| E77/3078 | Application | 27/2/2023 | 2.91 km2 |
| E77/3084 | Application | 27/2/2023 | 5.82 km2 |
| E77/3088 | Application | 27/2/2023 | 11.65 km2 |
| E77/3216 | Application | 29/4/2024 | 5.82 km2 |
| E77/3217 | Application | 29/4/2024 | 64.1 km2 |
| E77/3274 | Application | 14/2/2025 | 2.91 km2 |
Western Australia Work Programs
Chariot has engaged ERM Sustainable Mining Services for a geological review of the applications. Upon grant, exploration activities at the tenements are proposed to include:
-
Geological mapping
-
Surface sampling
-
Geochemical surveys
-
Drill programs based on results
