GreenTech Metals Ltd (ASX: GRE) has received assay results from a further 43 reconnaissance samples which confirm the presence of a consistent zone of lithium-bearing pegmatite at the company’s Kobe Lithium Prospect.
The Kobe Prospect sits within the company’s Ruth Well Project tenements, in the West Pilbara region of Western Australian. A total of 65 samples have been collected from the project area and assayed to date. The results from the recent 43 additional reconnaissance rock chip samples submitted for analysis, returned excellent grades of lithium mineralization measuring up to 1.8% Li2O.
Significant recent sampling assays recorded include.
o 1.80% Li2O (Sample No 23GT11-041)
o 1.70% Li2O (Sample No 23GT11-042)
o 1.58% Li2O (Sample No 23GT11-039)
o 1.54% Li2O (Sample No 23GT11-022)
o 1.53% Li2O (Sample No 23GT11-016)
o 1.53% Li2O (Sample No 23GT11-017)
o 1.48% Li2O (Sample No 23GT11-040)
o 1.04% Li2O (Sample No 23GT11-013)
o 1.0% Li2O (Sample No 23GT11-018)
Additionally, ground reconnaissance has confirmed that the Kobe pegmatite bearing zone extends beyond the previously reported 6km strike, to a strike of 7.5km.
Executive director Thomas Reddicliffe commented: “These recent additional reconnaissance samples are a follow up from the original programme, so we are extremely pleased to see a persistence in the tenor of the mineralization over the entire length of the pegmatite zone identified to date. We believe the consistency of the grades over a now 7.5km strike is evidence of a large mineralizing system and underscores the prospectivity of this pegmatite zone.
GreenTech has a strong foothold in one of WA’s exploration hotspots and with high-quality lithium and copper projects in its portfolio, Greentech is exceptionally well placed to capitalize on the decarbonization and energy economy transformation that is now taking place around the world.”
The second reconnaissance sampling programme has followed on from the first reconnaissance program which comprised 22 samples, the results of which were reported previously. This second programme targeted the pegmatite zone over a further 5.5km and extended into GreenTech’s adjoining tenements with a total 43 samples collected. The pegmatite was tracked into tenement E47/3719 which is under the Osborne Joint Venture (51% Greentech and 49% Artemis Resources).
The variably exposed pegmatite zone has been sampled opportunistically over the currently observed strike length of 7.5km. Within the pegmatite bearing zone individual pegmatites of variable width up to 4m were observed.
