Larvotto (ASX:LRV) finds mineralisation smorgasbord at Eyre Project

Larvotto Resources has hit on ‘robust’ rare earth element anomalies during lithium exploration at the Merivale prospect, part of the Eyre Project in Western Australia.

A anomaly at the northern end of the area during exploration while, adding to a known southern anomaly identified from a review of historic AngloGold auger program results.

“The find returned up to 1,693ppm TREO with plans for a detailed follow up advancing,” Managing Director Ron Heeks said.

“These results again highlight the amazing range of mineralisation that is evident at our Eyre Project. In addition to the nickel, copper, PGE and lithium anomalies we have previously reported, we have now identified two very interesting REE anomalies generated from different sources.

“The AngloGold data has once again proven an effective targeting tool, which has been used successfully by other companies in the region to generate prospective targets.

The close alignment of the Northern Anomaly with underlying geophysics and particularly thorium radiometrics, significantly adds to its prospectivity and may suggest an association with a discrete rock unit. A peak value of 1,693ppm TREO in auger samples is very encouraging and certainly warrants follow up.”

The next step for Larvotto is to complete an infill auger program to further delineate the anomalies prior to RAB drilling.
