Lightning Minerals (ASX:L1M) has identified several pegmatite intrusion outcrops in the field during a recent site visit to its 100% owned Dundas Project in Western Australia.
Highlights
o Multiple Pegmatite intrusion outcrops have been identified during a recent site visit
o Rock chip samples have been sent for assay
o Soil sampling campaign is continuing
o Geophysics interpretation underway
o Multiple geological targets form the basis of early-stage work program
o Combined soil sampling, surface mapping and geophysics interpretation designed to identify multiple drill targets across project area
The company has also begun interpretation of geophysical survey data with a view to developing exploration targets. The combination of early-stage exploration strategies is designed to develop high confidence targets for exploration drilling.
“The early identification of pegmatite intrusions is extremely positive. Rock chip samples from outcrops and the initial batch of soil samples have been sent to the lab for analysis,” CEO, Alex Biggs, said.
“We look forward to receiving the results and unlocking the prospectivity potential the Dundas Region holds. Following a very successful site trip it is exciting to see works progressing efficiently on site as well as identification of numerous pegmatite occurrences that will form the basis of further investigation and exploration.
Pegmatite Observations
Pegmatite intrusion occurrences were observed across five separate sites, within four Exploration Licences, totalling 15 pegmatite exposures. Further investigation is required to determine the relationship of intrusions and the geochemical make up of individual pegmatites as a number of them were seen to be cross-cutting each other.
The Dundas Project area is located near Norseman in Western Australia and comprises eight tenements totalling 454 sq. km. Historically, Norseman and the Dundas area has experienced mining in gold and nickel although over recent years the region has become an emerging lithium and critical minerals province with multiple discoveries and significant exploration activity.
There are two project areas at Dundas:
a) South/Western tenements surrounding Liontown Resources’ Buldania/Anna lithium project, and
b) North/Eastern tenements approximately 30km to the East of Alliance Mineral Assets’ Bald Hill lithium-tantalum mine.
