Essential Metals Limited announced the Pioneer Dome Lithium 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 lithium Mineral Resource of 11.2Mt @ 1.21% Li2O has been defined at Dome North in the northern part of the Project area. The southern Yilgarn area is recognized as being well-endowed with spodumene deposits, including the Bald Hill Mine, the Mt Marion Mine and the Buldania Project. The world-class Earl Grey deposit and the Mt Cattlin Mine are located further west and south of Pioneer Dome, respectively. CADE UPPER ZONE DRILL RESULTS: The 5,934m Reverse Circulation (RC) drill programme within the Dome North area at the Pioneer Dome Project was completed end-August. Four holes were drilled into the upper zone of the Cade Deposit to test the lithium grade and mineral assemblage and to ascertain the degree of weathering and near surface lithium depletion. An air-core hole drilled in June 2020 intersected 21m @ 1.79% Li2O from 4 metres (Hole PDAC386)2, indicating no discernible lithium depletion in that area. The mineralization at Cade consists of two main pegmatites that are sigmoidal in shape, trending north-north- east and dipping steeply to the east. These pegmatite bodies are hosted in metamorphosed felsic volcaniclastics and metasediments. Lithium mineralization in the fresh rock is associated with spodumene with rare petalite and lepidolite observed. At the centre of the pegmatite bodies the spodumene zone almost makes up the entire width of the pegmatite with wall zones 0.5 to 2m either side of it. At the margins of these pegmatites they are composed completely of unmineralised granitic pegmatite. Majority of previous drilling tested the pegmatite in fresh rock, however, in this drilling both PDRC589 and PDRC590 collared in mineralized pegmatite. For the first two to three metres (down hole depths) the pegmatites are weathered but still mineralized and this transitions to fresh rock at approximately 50 metres (down hole depth). Spodumene is discernible throughout most of the mineralized pegmatite except for the first two to three metres. Mineralogy tests will be conducted to confirm that the host mineral is spodumene, which is expected given that visual spodumene was observed when the holes were drilled. Preparations are being made to undertake a diamond drilling programme to obtain samples suitable for conducting metallurgical test work and bulk density analysis on both the Cade and Davy Deposits.
