Charger (ASX:CHR) brings out more hits at Lake Johnston
Charger Metals have confirmed more high-grade lithium intersections in wrapping up maiden drilling at its Medcalf Spodumene Discovery, part of the Company’s exciting Lake Johnston Project 450 kilometres east of Perth in Western Australia.
The drilling at Lake Johnson, surrounded by Yilgarn lithium projects, has uncovered a ‘swarm of stacked spodumene-bearing pegmatites’ up to 13 metres thick – returning consistently high-quality grades in areas to set out for possible extended mineralisation.
Highlights
- 4m @ 1.21% Li2O from 208m
- 3m @ 1.33% Li2O from 110m
- 3m @ 1.35% Li2O from 136m
- 3m @ 1.44% Li2O from 168m
- 3m @ 1.24% Li2O from 101m
Charger Managing Director Aidan Platel said the maiden programme had been a great success, returning notable amounts of high-grade lithium within logged spodumene-bearing pegmatites on nearly every drill section.
“The potential for further high-grade lithium mineralisation at Medcalf remains open, and our team is now busy modelling the drilling results in order to define extensional targets for the next phase of drilling,” Mr Platel said.
“We will commence an Aboriginal Heritage survey later this week over the area immediately surrounding the Medcalf Prospect in order to be ready for the next phase of drilling,” he added.
“In parallel to this our technical team is busy defining exploration programmes for several other prospective target areas of the Lake Johnston Project, including the exciting Mt Day Prospect, and we’re looking forward to drill-testing these high priority prospects.”
