Eastern Resources Limited announced that it has commenced Phase 2 reverse circulation (RC) drilling at the Trigg Hill lithium project. In October a maiden RC drilling programme was completed. A total of 32 holes drilled of which 30 holes intercepted pegmatites, with numerous significant intercepts achieved. Though assays are pending, the Company is highly encouraged by the logged pegmatite intercepts at the Project, and based on geology and mineralogy, has commenced a phase 2 RC drilling programme to expedite the progress of the Project prior to the wet season. The Phase 2 drilling
programme, a minimum 2,000 metres, is designed to test extensional targets along strike and at depth of pegmatites intercepted in Phase 1, at the Curlew and Trigg Hill Prospects. Assay results from the maiden drilling campaign are pending analysis and will be announced when received. Trigg Hill Lithium-Tantalum Project The Trigg Hill Project is located in East Pilbara, Western Australia and approx. 75km SE of Pilbara Minerals Ltd.'s Pilgangoora Lithium mine. The Trigg Hill mine is an old tantalum and tin mine operated during 1960s and early of 1980s. A significant number of pegmatite outcrops have been mapped over an area of 3km strike by up to 1.2km in the Trigg Hill Lithium-Tantalum Project including the East Curlew Lithium-caesium-tantalum ("LCT") pegmatite, which extends for at least 1,800m. Rock-chip assays confirm extensive lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatites, with results up to 2.28% Li2O, 1,552ppm Cs2O, and 514ppm Ta2O5 from the Curlew East pegmatite swarm. The Company executed a binding Heads of Agreement to acquire 100% interest in the Trigg Hill Project and has recently given notice of exercise of the option.
