Voltaic (ASX:VSR) gear up for Phase 3 at Ti Tree
July 24, 2023Voltaic Strategic Resources has begun regional wide-spaced pXRF soil survey and geological mapping campaigns to spot up targets across three prospects earmarked for maiden drilling within its Ti Tree Lithium Project in the West Australian Gascoyne.
The Morpheus, Lewis, and Akira prospects are all high-priority target areas of surface geochemical anomalism, and just three of 18 target areas lying across a Ti Tree Project with an extensive array of mapped pegmatites.
Voltaic Chief Executive Michael Walshe said maiden drilling over Ti Tree had returned valuable insights, and the company was now progressing rapidly towards the next round of drilling.
“Drilling thus far has identified the primary structural controls of the widespread pegmatite clusters across Ti Tree South and confirmed their extensive subsurface thickness and stacked emplacement. These learnings, along with current field reconnaissance, are being used to delineate high priority drill targets within the more prospective Morpheus, Lewis & Akira prospect areas, which we hope to begin testing in less than a month along with some deeper holes at Andrada,” Mr Walshe said.
Mr Walshe added that the next stage at the Andrada prospect would include deeper-focused drilling to find bounding lithological contacts and examine potential plunge target areas untested for LCT mineralisation.
“This will bolster our understanding of the subsurface geology of the extensive pegmatite systems that are now mapped over at least 5 x 2 km trends across the explored portion of E09/2503 to date,” he said.
Forward plan
Several POW applications are already approved as logistics and access for an August drilling campaign gets underway, and airborne surveys are booked for take-off in the same month, expected to provide more targets as Voltaic continue to explore tenements overlaying a prospective corridor of lithium pegmatites where early exploration continues to yield exciting returns.
The Gascoyne has proven itself as one of the most enticing new exploration opportunities in a state built around mining, and Voltaic has been a notable early mover, with Ti Tree Lithium and what is shaping into an economic clay-hosted rare earth play at Paddy’s Well combining into a considerable regional portfolio.
