Metals Australia Limited announced that it has significantly increased the area of interest for exploration of lithium-bearing pegmatites through a compilation of historical geological mapping information and newly obtained remote sensing images. The Company has previously announced that significant widths of high-grade lithium-bearing pegmatites up to 25 m wide assaying up to 2.14% Li2O occur in historical diamond drill core from the Mulgara Prospect area. Furthermore, limited rock chip sampling of exposed pegmatites in the Mulgari-Warabi Prospect areas has returned high-grade lithium results of up to 2.84% Li2O. For full details, refer to Metals Australia ASX announcement dated 21 March, 2017. The Manindi Project is a significant undeveloped zinc deposit located in the Murchison District of Western Australia, approximately 20 km southwest of the Youanmi gold mine. The project comprises three granted mining leases. The Manindi base metal deposit is considered to be a volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) zinc deposit, comprising a series of lenses of zinc-dominated mineralisation that have been folded, sheared, faulted, and intruded by later dolerite and gabbro. The style of mineralisation is similar to other base metal sulphide deposits in the Yilgarn Craton, particularly Golden Grove at Yalgoo to the west of Manindi, and Teutonic Bore-Jaguar in the Eastern Goldfields.
