Mineralization Comments

Feb 14, 2024 (Nazha Sabiri) - Spodumene is found in irregular veins or disseminated in pegmatite, with the highest grade recorded at 4.04% Li2O from a grab sample. Five channel samples, ranging from 2.00m to 11.70m in length, were taken perpendicular to the pegmatite's strike, totaling 28.55m. Spodumene was consistently present in all channels (Coxhell, S., October 26, 2023). Assay results showed Li2O of 1.72% over 11.7m, 1.57% over 6.5m, 1.75% over 5.35m, 1.57% over 6.5m, and 1.42% over 2.0m (Coxhell, S., Dec 7, 2023).
