Woomera Mining Limited (ASX: WML) has defined two large, coherent +100ppm lithium anomalies in recently completed auger program at its wholly-owned Mt Cattlin Project in south-east Western Australia.
The auger programme comprised 1143 samples collected on a 200m x 50m pattern across cleared farmland.
Assay results from this program have defined two large, coherent +100ppm lithium anomalies and a number of smaller, less continuous anomalies.
The main eastern anomaly extends over 1.5km in length and is open to the north.
A rock chip sample (WX15957) collected prior to the auger program recorded highly elevated pathfinder elements (Be, Cs, Li, Rb and Ta) coincident with the northern part of this anomaly, indicating good potential for rare-metal, LCT pegmatites on the Mt Cattlin project.
A further programme of geochemical sampling is planned to the north to delineate the full extent of the lithium anomaly within Woomera’s tenure.
The western anomaly is approximately 1km long and extends north from Woomera’s southern tenement boundary.
The next phase of geochemical sampling is scheduled to start in May 2023 and once results are received and processed, the company will plan Reverse Circulation drilling to test the anomalies.
Noting that seeding for the upcoming cropping season has begun, Woomera will liaise with the local land-owners with the intent of fast-tracking the drilling campaign as soon as practicable.
“Whilst this is still early days, we are excited about having clear targets for assessment and look forward to securing access for further on-ground activities as soon as possible,” Chair, Ian Gordon, said.
