Tyranna Resources Ltd (ASX: TYX) has obtained promising results from its maiden drilling campaign at the Muvero Prospect Angola, Africa with intersections of high-grade lithium mineralization encountered during a very short programme.
“With only two percent of the pegmatites in the Namibe Lithium Project having been sampled, these high-grade results from the Muvero prospect are a very strong indication of what may be present at other prospects,” Technical Director, Peter Spitalny, said.
“Follow-up drilling to test Muvero at depth is a priority for the exploration team, along with expanding our efforts to investigate the full extent of the project. 2023 is shaping up to be a busy and exciting year and these results maybe the first discovery of a new and exciting lithium region in Africa!
“In addition, some very high grades of Tantalum and Tin, commodities that commonly occur with lithium minerals in many pegmatites, were attained, e.g., 1.0m from 18m @2036ppm Ta (i.e., 1.0m @0.25% Ta2O5) in NDDH009 and 1.0m from 17m @2146ppm Sn (i.e., 1.0m @0.27% SnO2) in NDDH004.
“These grades suggest that zones of economically significant Tantalum mineralization and Tin mineralization, may be present in the Muvero pegmatite.
The intersection by NDDH004 of an interval of high grades of Caesium by NDDH004 (40m – 41m, 1m @23,884ppm Cs, i.e., 1m @2.53% Cs2O) suggests that the drill-hole passed through part of a pollucite zone. This proves that pollucite is present in at least two parts of the Muvero pegmatite and may prove to be an economically significant component.”
Next Steps
The mineralization intersected by NDDH004, NDDH005 and NDDH009 is very similar to the material collected in 2022 as a bulk sample for metallurgical testing.
Metallurgical testing of the bulk sample is currently in-progress and results are expected in late March or early April, these results will be reported as soon as they are available.
In the meantime, Tyranna will complete fieldwork testing some remote targets within the Namibe Lithium Project and initiating access and site-works preceding the next drilling campaign. Information about this programme will follow in due course.
Tyranna is currently finalising the next drilling campaign which will include deeper drilling at the Muvero Prospect, along with drilling of at least two additional prospects. The second drill program at Namibe will commence as soon as possible and the exploration team are fast tracking the planning due to the very exciting maiden drill results obtained.
