Raiden Resources Limited (ASX: RDN) has commenced a programme of detailed mapping and rock chip sampling across the company’s Roebourne (E47/4061 & E47/4062), Arrow North (E47/3476), and Mt Sholl (E47/3181) projects.
The programme includes detailed mapping of outcropping pegmatites and rock sampling at a greater density across the areas listed above. The mapping and sampling programme aims to follow up on the company’s recently announced high-grade, lithium bearing pegmatites on the Roebourne Project, immediately adjacent to Azure Mineral’s Ltd (ASX: AZS) Andover lithium discovery where recent drilling has intersected up to 209.4m @1.42% Li2O from 219.0m in ANRD00173.
The programme will follow up on the continuing reports of lithium bearing pegmatites by GreenTech Metals Ltd (ASX: GRE) at their Ruth Well and Osbourne Projects, with reported results of up to 3.6% Li2O in rock chips and how they relate to areas within Raiden’s Mt Sholl Project that share similar geological settings.
Planning of a detailed soil sampling programme over areas with sediment cover, such as the northern Roebourne tenements, is also well advanced. Mr Dusko Ljubojevic, managing director of Raiden commented: “With the current programme, we hope to build on the potential defined in the initial and very limited scout sampling exercise on the recently acquired projects. In parallel, we will be evaluating the greater potential of the entire portfolio of projects in the Pilbara, including Mt Sholl and Arrow for Li-bearing pegmatites. We hope to achieve similar success across the other projects as the Roebourne project.”
