Atlas Lithium Corporation (NASDAQ: ATLX) has expanded the current size of the company’s Anitta pegmatite trend from 1.1km to 1.8km in length. Anitta is located within the Neves Project, a cluster of four lithium mineral rights that are part of the company’s wholly-owned Minas Gerais Lithium Project in Brazil.
The Anitta trend is defined by a northeast to southwest striking zone of pegmatite intrusive bodies hosting localized concentrations of lithium mineralization. Recent geologic mapping and geochemical sampling by the company’s exploration team has extended the overall surface footprint for Anitta over an area measuring approximately 1.8km long by 400m wide. Anitta remains open to further extension laterally, along strike to the southwest, and vertically below surface.
For the purposes of geological exploration and mining planning, Anitta has been divided into two zones: South Anitta and North Anitta. The South Anitta zone covers an approximate 800m by 400m area that remains open to further extension both along strike to the northeast and southwest and extending below surface with depth.
The South Anitta zone is an area in which several drill holes have encountered lithium mineralization at relatively shallow depths, an important factor for planning an open pit mine. Nine core rigs are currently actively conducting resource delineation and step-out exploration drilling to define the overall extent and continuity of lithium mineralization at South Anitta.
Mineralization in this area begins at depths as shallow as 5m to 10m, extending to more than 150m vertically below surface. Of note, recent drill hole DHAB-104 yielded a large aggregate total of 99.1m of spodumene; the geochemical assays for DHAB-104 are pending. Photos of spodumene cores from DHAB-104 are attached below in this release.
