Growing multi-asset lithium company, Global Lithium Resources Limited (ASX: GL1) has continued to receive encouraging lithium assay results from its Q1/Q2 CY2022 Exploration Programme at the wholly owned Marble Bar Lithium Project (MBLP), located 150km southeast of Port Hedland in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
Significant intervals of lithium mineralisation continue to be intersected from the ongoing drilling at the MBLP.
• Results include: — 11m @ 1.42% Li2O and 62ppm Ta2O5 from 25m in MBRC0258 — 12m @ 0.88% Li2O and 44ppm Ta2O5 from 82m in MBRC0269 — 9m @ 1.09% Li2O and 61ppm Ta2O5 from 44m in MBRC0270 — 10m @ 0.81% Li2O and 80ppm Ta2O5 from 40m in MBRC0271 — 7m @ 1.00% Li2O and 71ppm Ta2O5 from 24m in MBRC0300 — 7m @ 1.82% Li2O and 66ppm Ta2O5 from 20m in MBRC0310
“Commencing in February 2022, our 60,000m exploration drilling programme has continued to build momentum at the MBLP, with lithium intercepts continuing along the >6km strike of the mineralisation already identified within the project area,” Head of Geology, Stuart Peterson, said.
“The results highlight the prospectivity of the area, particularly as the drilling moves to the southern and eastern areas of GL1’s tenement package.
“The drilling programme supports the targeting effort by the Global Lithium and CSA Global geology teams and provides a strong platform for future growth.
“Our immediate exploration focus, to add shareholder value across our two assets, remains clearly defined. Firstly, deliver the ongoing CY2022 program at MBLP, including the highly prospective targets that remain untested and secondly, safely execute a 20,000m drilling and exploration campaign at the Manna Lithium Project in the Goldfields region.
“To our knowledge, we are the only lithium company to be drilling at two independent lithium project sites in the globally recognised, tier 1 lithium mining jurisdiction of Western Australia.”
The majority of MBLP drilling has been designed and targeted to test geochemical trends and mapped pegmatite targets, particularly along the greenstone belt and also several granite hosted pegmatite targets that are located between the Archer deposit and the area to the east near the major regional structural feature of the Brockman Zone.
The drilling intersection highlights have been recorded from drilling to the south and to the east of the Archer pegmatite resource. The target zones extend over distances from 500m to 1.2km with a majority of the drilling being undertaken on a nominal grid pattern with a line spacing of 160m and a hole spacing of 80m.
Mr Peterson said the success of the programme indicates strong potential for future growth and provides further evidence that the MBLP is continuing to emerge as a significant spodumene lithium deposit, in a premier hard rock lithium mining jurisdiction.
The MBLP is situated close to major road infrastructure, with direct links into Port Hedland, where bulk commodities, including spodumene concentrate, are currently being exported.
The MBLP is also located approximately 15km from the town of Marble Bar, which provides ready access to services, skills and accommodation for our geology teams.
