Highlights:
- Field geochemical exploration programme advancing on schedule.
- The first target area in the vicinity of the historical spodumene bearing trench at Knockeen East is being targeted by a closely spaced deep overburden sampling programme.
- The area is also undergoing intensive prospecting which is consolidating the extent of the spodumene pegmatite boulder train as well as significantly enhancing the resolution of the dispersion zone and therefore the target potential drill target areas.
- A total of 46 rock samples and 233 deep overburden samples along with 13 QAQC samples have been collected to-date and submitted to ALS Laboratories for analysis.
- Deep overburden sampling and prospecting is continuing across the survey grid area, and will migrate to the second target area at Carriglead in due course.
- This work is being carried out to help determine specific areas for follow up drilling.
Alex Stanbury, CEO of Technology Minerals, said:
“We are pleased the exploration campaign at the Leinster project in Ireland is progressing well, where previous work has confirmed high-grade lithium in spodumene pegmatites. The current programme, which is expected to be completed by the end of November, will help to determine target areas for follow up drilling and we look forward to receiving the assay results in due course.”
