Firering Strategic Minerals plc has released an operational update on its flagship Atex Lithium-Tantalum Project, in Côte d'Ivoire.

Highlights:

  • Pegmatite intersected in all eleven drill holes completed to date.
  • Potential new pegmatite field following the discovery of new pegmatites in the NNW of the Atex licence.
  • Visible observations of lithium mineralisation in 10 out of 11 drill holes.
  • All planned trenches completed and logged with each trench showing the presence of pegmatites with apparent widths of up to 56.5 m.
  • Strike of lithium bearing pegmatites now confirmed for 700 m and still open-ended along strike and down dip.
  • All initially planned pits for metallurgical test work completed and sampled with an additional three pits planned.

Yuval Cohen, Chief Executive of Firering, said:

“I am delighted to provide an update on our core drilling programme which is continuing successfully with pegmatites intersected in every hole. Lithium mineralisation was visually observed in ten out of the eleven holes drilled to date and we are eagerly awaiting the assay and XRD results. The discovery of yet another potential pegmatite field in the NNW of our licence area provides further support of the potential of Atex becoming the next lithium development project in West Africa. We look forward to providing the market with our ongoing exploration results.”
