Essential Metals Limited announced outstanding assays including 23.7m @ 1.26% Li2O from 3.6m (PDD599) in the Cade deposit and 31.95m @ 1.24% Li2O from 45.4m (PDD601) in the Davy deposit. Cade Deposit assay results include: 19.2m @ 1.44% Li2O from 15m (PDD596); 9.6m @ 1.42% Li2O from 14.4m (PDD598); 23.7m @ 1.26% Li2O from 3.6m (PDD599); 18.9m @ 1.24% Li2O from 21.1m (PDD600); 14.7m @ 0.90% Li2O from 11.6m (PDD595). Davy Deposit assay results include: 31.95m @ 1.24% Li2O from 45.4m (PDD601); 17m @ 1.32% Li2O from 97.1m (PDD605); 18.7m @ 1.05% Li2O from 17m (PDD603); 11.1m @ 1.70% Li2O from 99.2m (PDD604). The diamond drilling (DD) programme undertaken in the March quarter consisted of six holes drilled into the first ~40m from surface of the Cade Deposit and seven holes drilled into the Davy Deposit for a total of 909m of drilling. Three composite samples will now be selected to represent the upper zone of the Cade deposit, the upper zone of the Davy deposit and the fresh rock zone of the Davy deposit for metallurgical test work. This will complement the
successful test work already completed on the fresh rock zone of the Cade deposit. The test work is expected to be completed in early September. The 450km2 Pioneer Dome Project (ESS: 100%) is located in the core of Western Australia's lithium corridor in the Eastern Goldfields, approximately 130km south of Kalgoorlie and 275km north of the Port of Esperance. A Mineral Resource 1 of 11.2Mt @ 1.21% Li2O has been defined at `Dome North' in
the northern area of the Project. The southern Yilgarn area is recognised as being well-endowed with spodumene deposits, including the Bald Hill Mine, the Mt Marion Mine and the Buldania Project, all of which are located within 80km of the Pioneer Dome Project. The world-class Greenbushes Deposit, the Mt Holland Mine and the Mt Cattlin Mine are located further west, south-west and south-south-west, respectively.
