Youanmi Lithium Project RC Drilling Commences
Perth, Feb 16, 2023 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Venus Metals Corporation Limited (
ASX:VMC) is pleased to announce the start of a RC drilling program that will test recently identified lithium (Li) soil and rock chip anomalies for pegmatite-hosted lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) mineralization in the bedrock.
Three east-northeast trending lithium (Li) anomalies in the northern part of E57/983 were delineated by a geochemical soil survey at a historical beryl occurrence reported in MINEDEX (S0017351). Rock chip samples from sub-cropping pegmatite nearby have up to 2.11% Li2O (refer ASX release 24 January 2023).
The Manindi North Li prospect is located within the granite - greenstone contact zone at the Youanmi greenstone belt that is considered prospective for LCT pegmatite mineralisation.
Drilling will also test the interpreted down-dip extension of Li-bearing pegmatite at the Central Prospect.
