Lithium Exploration

The Millie’s Reward Project is a potentially high-grade pegmatitehosted lithium project located in central Madagascar.

The project consists of over 200 multiple pegmatite surface occurrences along a strike length of 10 km which to date have returned rock-chip grades up to 7.08% Li20. Phase 1 includes prospecting, geological mapping, rock-chip sampling, geochemical soil sampling, pitting and trenching programs. Phase 2 aims to delineate mineralization through circa 5,000 metre drill program to commence in the 2[nd] half of 2018. Excellent community support and existing mining infrastructure adjacent to Millie’s Reward.
