Established multi-asset Western Australian lithium firm, World Lithium Assets Restricted (ASX: GL1, World Lithium or the Firm) is happy to announce the acquisition of seven strategic tenements adjoining to the Firm’s Marble Bar Gold Venture to finish protection of a big gold in soil geochemistry anomaly that’s spatially related to a extremely altered granite (Determine 1).
Key Highlights
- Strategic, low-cost acquisition of the Talga Venture from Octava Minerals (ASX: OCT) for $200,000 money and $200,000 in World Lithium Assets (ASX: GL1) peculiar shares primarily based on the 5-day VWAP previous to completion.
- Aligns with GL1’s prudent value administration and value-accretive technique to assess non-lithium mineral prospectivity throughout its largely unexplored portfolio of tenements.
- Consolidation of a 12km pattern of gold in soil geochemical anomalies on the northwestern margin of the Mt Edgar Batholith.
- Identification of a possible porphyry/Intrusion associated Cu-Au mineralised system related to a finger of the Coppin Hole Granodiorite, which is the interpreted supply of the Archean Spinifex Ridge Mo-Cu-Ag Porphyry Deposit, situated 20km away.
- Elevated current company exercise regarding Pilbara gold undertaking improvement with Creasy Group buying close by Calidus Assets (ASX: CAI) and Northern Star’s (ASX: NST) introduced intention to amass De Gray Mining (ASX: DEG).
- Course of commenced looking for companions to speed up and fund additional exploration, together with beforehand introduced Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) grant funding.
World Lithium Government Chairman, Ron Mitchell, mentioned the Talga Venture acquisition offered a low-risk, value environment friendly alternative for the Firm to develop its publicity to gold and base metals inside a extremely potential area.
“There isn’t a higher time for World Lithium to consolidate and examine the prospectivity of Talga alongside our present Marble Bar tenements. Curiosity within the area is excessive and market circumstances for gold and base metals are very beneficial.
The Manna Lithium Venture stays our primary precedence; nonetheless, we look ahead to leveraging our in-house capabilities and exterior companions to unlock worth from these further tenements whereas the lithium market is going through close to time period challenges. Any future upside from the exploration work at Marble Bar will, inevitably, profit our Manna Venture and all World Lithium shareholders.”
Since itemizing on the ASX in 2021, GL1 has held the Twin Veins gold prospect space on the northern finish of its Marble Bar tenement package deal which at the moment contains land space of 537km2. A number of small-scale exploration campaigns have beforehand examined vein-hosted gold developments close to the margin of granite and have returned optimistic gold outcomes, warranting additional exploration.
These beforehand reported outcomes embrace;
- MBRC0619, 4m @ 4.85g/t Au from 86m1
- MBRC0621, 5m @ 3.94g/t Au from 118m1
- MBRC0623, 3m @ 8.9g/t Au from 49m1
- MBRC0159, 7m @ 4.78g/t Au from 11m2
- MBRC0157, 12m @ 2.95g/t Au from 37m3
- MBRC0006, 3m @ 5g/t Au from 25m3
Assessment of the prospect space by the Firm’s geologists led to the identification of a sericite altered core to the granite with iron oxide pitting and minor quartz veins. A Dipole-Dipole Induced Polarisation (DDIP) survey was executed over the granite figuring out a big chargeable anomaly inside resistive granite, and several other RC holes had been drilled focusing on this. Disseminated pyrite (~1%) inside intensely sericite altered granite was intersected with the one important gold consequence being reported in a 4m composite pattern from MBRC0608 (4m @ 0.53g/t Au, 16.9g/t Ag from 220-224m)1.
GL1 has re-assayed the 1m samples from and round this intersection with a results of 5m @ 1.1g/t Au, 15g/t Ag, 0.3% Pb, 0.23% Zn from 219-224m. MBRC0608 additionally intersected elevated copper with an intercept of 40m @ 137ppm Cu from 156-196m in opposition to a background worth of 10ppm Cu in different much less altered areas of the granite. This zone additionally returned 36m @ 4.8g/t Ag from 164-200m.
To raised perceive the system two diamond drill holes, MWDD001 and MWDD002, had been accomplished with the purpose of higher visualising the alteration, any mineralisation, and supply samples for petrological research. Gap MWDD001 was drilled beneath the altered core of the granite whereas MWDD002 was profitable in intersecting the altered core in addition to minor mineralisation.
