Indigo Exploration Inc. announced that lithium mineralization in the form of abundant spodumene crystals has been discovered on the Djimbala Permit in southern Mali, West Africa. Surface exposures of pegmatite with 25-40% coarse-grained spodumene crystals have been located. Spodumene is a lithium-rich mineral that can be converted into battery-grade lithium products. Lithium has become one of the world's most in-demand commodities the rising popularity of electric vehicles powered by lithium-ion batteries. This occurrence lies approximately 50 km west of Firefinch Ltd.'s high grade Goulamina lithium (spodumene) resource. Since 2017, a dozen lithium exploration permits have been delivered to companies, all located in the mining area of Bougouni about 150 km south of Bamako which is the main area of the lithium deposits that trend east-west. This new occurrence on Djimbala may extend the southern Mali lithium district to the west. The new spodumene pegmatite occurrences which to date are seen over an area of 15 metres by 4 metres, lie on the western edge of the Djimbala permit. A new 22 km2 permit, Kona Sud, has been applied for adjacent to Djimbala to cover the western projection of the new spodumene occurrence. The Kona Sud permit application has received all approvals from the Mali Department of Geology and Mines and should receive a signed copy of the Convention shortly. While the rights to the concession are pending the issuance of the arreté, all required application and administration fees have been paid and there is no reason to believe that the final arreté will not be issued within a reasonable period of time. The Company plans to commence a mapping and trenching program to evaluate the size and quality of the lithium mineralization. In addition, results from the aircore drilling program on the gold target on Djimbala are nearly all in and will be reported soon. Indigo Exploration has an option to earn 100% interest in Djimbala and Kona Sud from Desert Gold Ventures.
