Galan Lithium Limited (ASX: GLN) has commenced drilling at its wholly-owned Greenbushes South Lithium Project in Western Australia.
Galan’s Key Greenbushes South Project tenement, E70/4790, is located only three km south of the Greenbushes Lithium Mine.
This maiden 2,500m drilling campaign is testing Galan’s targets identified from soil sampling and ground geophysics. The company’s team on site have noted multiple minerals associated with lithium- bearing pegmatites close to the surface. These results, along with the proximity to the Greenbushes Mine and to the mineralizing Donny-Brook Bridgetown Shear Zone are very encouraging.
Galan now owns 100% of the tenement package that makes up the Greenbushes South Project that covers a total area of approximately 315 sq. km. The project is located ~250 km south of Perth in Western Australia. These tenements are located along the trace of the geologic structure, the Donnybrook-Bridgetown Shear Zone, that hosts the emplacement of the lithium-bearing pegmatite at Greenbushes.
In March 2022 airborne geophysics was flown to develop pegmatite targets for all of Galan’s tenements. Following on, in August 2022, a pegmatite associated with spodumene-bearing rocks was discovered at E70/4790.
Further geological mapping, soil sampling and geophysical investigations are being used to determine drill targets within E70/4790. These ground- based methods are also being applied to Galan’s other granted tenements in the region.
