Artemis Resources Limited (AIM: ARV | ASX: ARV), a leading mining and exploration company, is thrilled to announce a significant lithium pegmatite discovery at the Mt Marie Lithium Prospect. This discovery is a result of the company’s recent ground reconnaissance programme.
Executive director George Ventouras commented “These rock chip results are a vote of confidence in the new technical team and the methodologies they’ve employed to explore for lithium bearing pegmatites on our 100% owned tenements. Importantly for the company and the region, this discovery is further evidence of a potential corridor of lithium mineralization extending beyond 40km in the west Pilbara region, where Artemis’ tenements are located.”
The ground reconnaissance sampling from Artemis Resources’ 100% owned tenement E47/1746 has delivered positive assay results. The notable results include:
- Sample 23AR01-17: 1.82% Li2O
- Sample 23AR01-16: 1.62% Li2O
- Sample 23AR01-15: 0.78% Li2O
The mineralization has been confirmed by XRD (x-ray diffraction) as being spodumene, a lithium aluminium inosilicate mineral and an important source of lithium. Artemis Resources will undertake further reconnaissance and follow-up sampling across E47/1746.
The company is pleased with these promising results and remains committed to its exploration and development activities. Further updates will be provided as additional information becomes available.
“We are further encouraged by the geological structure of the pegmatites which appear to be coarse grained and feature large spodumene crystals and may parallel the Azure Minerals Andover discovery. We are excited by this development and looking forward to undertaking further work on our 100% owned tenement package”. Added George.
