Kodal Minerals PLC said that its exploration drilling at the Bougouni lithium project in southern Mali highlights the potential of the project, which is split into two concessions such as Marigo and Mafele. At Marigo, the programme drilled holes targeting outcropping pegmatite veins. The pegmatite intersected in drill holes showed a maximum intersection of 22 metres from shallow depth. Drilling tested strike length exceeding 300 metres and geological mapping indicates pegmatites continue to East and West, according to the company. At Mafele concession, reconnaissance drilling targeting prospects identified in geological mapping and geophysical surveys. The programme is ongoing, with six drill holes completed to date. Pegmatite intersected in drill holes with a 15 metres intersection recorded at shallow depth. Drilling is wide spaced and testing various geological and geophysical targets, noted the company.
