-
Desk top review has highlighted multiple pegmatitic occurrences from previous mapping at its Kember Project
-
These features cover approximately 7km trending north-west to south-east in the NW of the Project and will be a focus of the Company’s initial exploration programme at Kember
-
At the Ruddy Project, the initial focus of exploration will be within the “LCT Goldilocks Zone” identified by other lithium explorers in the region. The zone covers approximately 3.5km of east-west strike in the centre to south of the Ruddy Project which sits across a greenstone belt
-
Initial exploration activities will comprise of 5 to 7 days at each property with four helicopter-supported geologists conducting reconnaissance mapping and sampling of priority outcrop
o Sultan anticipates commencing exploration in late June
Sultan Resources Ltd (ASX:SLZ or Company ) is pleased to advise that a desktop review of the Company’s Canadian projects has highlighted a series of pegmatitic granite occurrences in mapping previously conducted at its Kember Project, noted across an area around 7km in length and typically over a kilometre in width. These will form a focus of initial exploration activities at the Kember Project. At Ruddy, the Company has established a priority exploration target from the interpreted LCT Goldilocks Zone surrounded the Allison Lake Batholith which covers approximately 3.5km of east-west strike in the centre to south of the Company’s Project.
Sultan’s Chairman, Mr Jeremy King, commented:
“The identification of multiple pegmatitic occurrences from historical mapping at the Kember Project is highly encouraging, and allows Sultan to efficiently focus its initial reconnaissance in the field. In addition, the obvious prospectivity of the interpreted “goldilocks zone” at the Ruddy Project presents a focus for that area. We are eagerly looking forward to the commencement of Canadian exploration for Sultan later this month.”

The Kember Lake Lithium Project
The Kember Project (Figure 2) is located in the province of Ontario about 180km north of the town of Red Lake, covering an area of around 30km[2] . Demonstrating the prospectivity of this area, the Kember Project is located about 8km from the PAK/Bolt/Spark lithium deposits of Frontier Lithium Inc. (Frontier), and is contiguous with this project tenure.
Recent drilling by Frontier intersected 398.25m of pegmatite averaging 1.88% Li2O , including a 23.4m zone of 3.12% Li2O (see TSX.V Announcement 8/02/2023). Frontier have also recently announced resources totalling 58.5Mt @ 1.51% Li2O from its most recent NI43-101 instrument effective April 28[th] 2023, calculated from two of four known spodumene-bearing pegmatite occurrences within its PAK Project holdings.
There has been no recorded exploration over the Kember Project area, however, mapping by the Geological Survey of Ontario has historically recorded the presence of pegmatitic granites over a northwest to southeast zone around seven km in length and typically over a kilometre in width, providing an initial zone of interest.
These pegmatitic granites will be the focus of initial reconnaissance of 5 to 7 days duration, with four helicopter-supported geologists from Canadian-based experienced geological consultants, APEX Geoscience conducting mapping and sampling of priority outcrop. The Company considers rare element mineralisation can occur associated with internal pegmatites within the parent granite. The Company will also conduct reconnaissance of the eastern edge of the project, closer to changes in granitic composition and contact morphologies.

The Ruddy Lithium Project
The Ruddy Project (Figure 3) directly abuts ground to the west held by Green Technology Metals Limited (ASX: GT1) and is located in the province of Ontario about 162km north-north-east of the town of Dryden. The Project covers around 10km[2] and sits on the northern extremity of the Allison Lake Batholith, a fertile intrusive responsible for the development of proximal fractionated pegmatites with potential to host lithium, caesium and tantalum (LCT) mineralisation[1,2] .
Although there has been no documented exploration over the Ruddy Project claims, previous study of the area by the Ontario Geological Survey (Breaks et al 2003[1] ) described the margin of the Allison Lake Batholith at the time as “…an important new exploration target for rare-element mineralization and is the largest such granite thus far documented in Ontario…”.
Breaks et al 2003[1] considered the margin of the Batholith had high potential for further discoveries of rare element mineralization that could occur in exo-contact, metasedimentary-hosted pegmatites or as internal pegmatites within the parent granite, particularly in light of the common regional zonation sequence of rare-element pegmatites from beryl-rich into lithium-rich types. This typically includes spodumene-type pegmatites in an interpreted ‘LCT Goldilocks Zone’ of increased fractionation from the parent granite. With recent renewed interest in rare element mineralisation, the prospective Allison Batholith has emerged as a fully staked, multi-company, battery mineral exploration region.
Reports by Green Technology Metals[2] describe the identification of the spodumene-bearing Ouroboros Pegmatites approximately 10km southwest of the Ruddy Project in a similar geological setting, which the Company considers highly encouraging. The Company intends to focus priority exploration at Ruddy at outcrop within the interpreted LCT Goldilocks Zone surrounding the Allison Lake Batholith, covering approximately 3.5km of east-west strike in the centre to south of the Company’s Project.
As with Kember, Ruddy exploration will comprise of 5 to 7 days of four helicopter-supported geologists conducting reconnaissance mapping and sampling of priority outcrop. The Company expects to commence reconnaissance at Ruddy first, and then move to Kember to complete the programme, and will report results from both after the receipt of initial observations at the completion of both programmes.
Samples from both areas will be submitted to Canadian-based laboratories for expedience and reported to the market in due course.
