GreenTech Metals Ltd (ASX: GRE) has reported results of stratigraphic diamond drilling, outcrop, and infill soil sampling completed at its West Pilbara Lithium Projects—the Ruth Well and Osborne JV.
Recent results from these latest rock chip samples have returned promising lithium grades of up to 2.36% Li2O in the western extension to the Osborne trend.
The Northern LCT pegmatite (incl. Kobe Prospect) sits within the company’s 100%-owned Ruth Well Project tenements along 6km of strike where previous rock chip samples have returned assay results of up to 1.98% Li2O.
Executive director, Thomas Reddicliffe, commented, “We are pleased that our recently completed diamond drill programme has provided new information particularly in relation to the geometry of the Southern Trend pegmatites. In particular we have seen our understanding of the Osborne pegmatite trend evolve into a very exciting target with some 700m of strike and with high lithium grades at surface and with the potential for thicker intersections of pegmatite at depth.”
Significant rock chip sampling assays at the Osborne prospect include:
- 2.36% Li2O, 32ppm Ta2O5 and 92ppm Nb2O5
- 1.64% Li2O, 3ppm Ta2O5 and 14ppm Nb2O5
- 1.22% Li2O, 45ppm Ta2O5 and 76ppm Nb2O5
- 1.15% Li2O, 38ppm Ta2O5 and 102ppm Nb2O5
The company ahs now mobilized field crews to site who are currently undertaking exploration activities in the lead up to commencing its maiden RC drilling programme in March 2024 to test the near surface Osborne pegmatite where ground access has now been granted.
