Significant Sampling Results at Litchfield Lithium Project
HIGHLIGHTS
-
6 areas report high-grade soil samples >100 ppm lithium
-
Best results include high-grade lithium up to 420 ppm and 1% tin
-
Soil sampling assists outlining of prospective lithium pegmatites – maiden drill program planned in early 2017
Monax Mining Limited ( Monax or the Company ) is pleased to announce results from the first phase of soil sampling at the Litchfield Lithium Project located within the Bynoe Lithium Province where spodumene mineralisation has recently been reported by neighbouring companies (see Figure 1). Sampling results indicate anomalous lithium (>50 ppm Li) across the project area and highlight 6 priority targets which will be subject to drill testing in early 2017 following the wet season (see Figure 2).
Soil Sampling Results
The Tank Hill trend contains several areas of outcropping/subcropping pegmatite, which were targeted during the recent soil sampling program (see Plate 1). The trend is up to 4km in length and comprises two parallel pegmatite zones at the southern part (see Figure 3). Lithium in this area reached a maximum of 230 ppm with samples also reporting elevated tantalum (Ta) up to 66.5 ppm and rubidium (Rb) up to a maximum of 703 ppm.
Three samples were collected along a low outcropping pegmatite south of the Tank Hill trend which contained several shallow prospector pits (Tin workings). One sample returned lithium up to 420 ppm and 1% tin with the remaining two samples reported lithium >50 ppm and anomalous tin. Further to this, two areas along the eastern margin of the tenement also reported anomalous lithium in the soils (see Figure 3).
Regional Prospectivity
Soil sampling has been used extensively within the Bynoe Lithium Province to outline prospective drill targets. Neighbouring companies working with the field have reported spodumene mineralisation via deeper drill testing, but a lack of spodumene at surface most likely due to deep weathering. Specifically, Liontown Resources (ASX:LTR) reported anomalous lithium in soils over the Sandras Prospect (see LTR ASX Release 14 April 2016) whereby subsequent drilling reported 42m @ 1.0% Li2O and 24m @ 1.1% Li2O including spodumene mineralisation (see LTR ASX Release 26 July 2016).
Forward Program
The sampling program assists Monax in outlining prospective pegmatite zones from non-prospective zones. Targets will be further refined and expanded with additional soil sampling in the new year prior to drill testing in 2017 following the wet season.
