Eastern Resources Limited (ASX:EFE) has received announce outstanding initial assay results from its recent field works at Trigg Hill Lithium-Tantalum Project in the East Pilbara Region of Western Australia.
Highlights:
- Rock-chip assays confirm extensive lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatites
- Results up to 2.28% Li2O, 1.23% Rb2O, 1,552ppm Cs2O, 514ppm Ta2O5 and 2,921ppm SnO2 from the Curlew East pegmatite swarm.
- One pegmatite chip rock sample returned 10.3% copper.
The company has been conducting field work at the Project since March 2022, including mapping, rock chip sampling of outcropping pegmatites and soil sampling. Assay results from the first 124 rock chip samples have confirmed visual observations of previously reported lithium mineralisation.
Rock-chip assays confirm highly anomalous levels of lithium (Li), caesium (Cs), Tantalum (Ta) and Tin (Sn) confirming the presence of fractionated LCT pegmatites. Of the samples collected from the large East Curlew pegmatite swarm, at least 80% were from LCT pegmatites.
Trigg Hill Lithium-Tantalum Project
The Trigg Hill Lithium-Tantalum Project is located in East Pilbara, Western Australia, approximately 75km SE of Pilbara Minerals Ltd.’s Pilgangoora Lithium mine.
The Trigg Hill mine is an old tantalum and tin mine operated during 1960s and early 1980s. Significant number of pegmatite outcrops were mapped over an area of 3km strike by up to 1.2km in the Project, including the East Curlew Lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatite, which extends for at least 1,800m.
The company executed a binding Heads of Agreement to acquire 100% interest in the Trigg Hill Project
Ongoing Exploration
Results of 231 soil samples from the Curlew East area are pending analysis, and subject to the results, the soil sampling may be extended to other areas.
Drill site and access planning is well advanced with the aim of testing both the vertical and low angle mineralised pegmatites to obtain an understanding of zonation and lithium mineralisation.
