EXERCISE OF OPTION TO ACQUIRE TRIGG HILL PROJECT

Highlights

  • Option exercised to Acquire Trigg Hill Project

  • Drilling currently underway

Eastern Resources Limited (“Eastern Resources” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has exercised its option, through its wholly owned subsidiary Eastern Lithium Pty Ltd, to acquire 100% of the Trigg Hill Lithium-Tantalum Project (“Project”) in Western Australia.

The Project is a highly prospective lithium exploration project. Recent exploration works have delivered outstanding outcomes. Traverse mapping on the Curlew swarm of pegmatites has confirmed that a large number of pegmatites occurred over at least 3km of strike and up to 1.2km in width, and rock-chip assays confirming extensive lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatites, with results up to 2.28% Li2O, 1,552ppm Cs2O, and 514ppm Ta2O5 from the Curlew East pegmatite swarm (refer to the Company announcement dated 8 July 2021).

Executive Director Myles Fang commented:

The acquisition of Trigg Hill is a milestone for Eastern Resources. Based on our recent exploration works at Trigg Hill we are confident that this tenement contains significant potential for lithium pegmatites where we are undertaking an initial drilling program.

In exercising the option, Eastern Resources is one more step to closer to realising our strategy of securing our footprint in the highly prospective lithium region in East Pilbara.”

Trigg Hill Lithium-Tantalum Project
