Some 23 of these 54 samples have reported +50ppm Li, of which 13 samples have recorded +60ppm Li. These anomalous lithium samples are predominantly clustered over and around two parallel pegmatite intrusives which have been identified by mapping of outcrops and interpretation of soil and vegetation trends in detailed imagery. Duplicate soil samples were sent to
Labwest's UltraFine+ analysis process involves collecting the reactive 2-micron clay fraction from soil samples, with microwave digestion and then using the latest low detection level ICPMS technology. This process avoids analysing the generally large volume of wind-blown sand particles which can act as a dilutant in soil located in low lying areas adjacent to weathering granites.
UltraFine+ - Labwest The anomalous Labwest lithium and associated L-C-T elements are clustered just west of the southern apex of the Radio Granite. Refer Figures 1 and 2 overleaf which display the location of the Radio Lithium Anomaly and the Radio Granite. A Stage 2 detailed soil sampling program over the Radio Lithium Anomaly has been planned for mid August on fourteen 100m spaced east-west lines, with sample spacing of 25m along lines.
Rationale for Detailed Grid Soil Sampling over +60ppm Lithium Anomalies
Enterprise considers that the geological setting of the Radio Lithium Anomaly has some similarities with the geological setting of the Earl Grey lithium deposit some 100km south of Southern Cross. The Earl Grey deposit is described as being a pegmatite with an albite-spodumene-quartzmicrocline dominated composition, with accessory muscovite, biotite, petalite and tourmaline. The albite spodumene pegmatite hosts rare metal lithium-cesium-tantalum (L-C-T) mineralisation. The published Measured and Indicated Resource for
