Trigg Mining Limited announced to report very encouraging initial assay results from the partially completed maiden air-core drilling program at its highly prospective 100%-owned Lake Throssell Sulphate of Potash (SOP) Project, located east of Laverton in Western Australia. The maiden air-core program commenced at Lake Throssell in late November 2020, with a total of 16 holes for 1,806m completed (representing ~50% of the proposed program) before inclement weather temporarily postponed field activities in mid-December 2020. The drilling, which was confined to the northern half of the project area, has confirmed the presence of a broad palaeovalley at least 1km wide and potentially up to 3-4km wide in places. The palaeovalley is typically around 100m deep with multiple potential aquifers identified in places. A total of 74 brine samples collected during this first phase of drilling were submitted before Christmas for analysis, with results returning high grades of up to 11,519mg/L SOP (11.5kg/m3) with an average grade of 9,772mg/L SOP. The brine chemistry also suggests favorable characteristics for solar evaporation concentration and lower waste salt levels, with a low Na:K ratio and high SO4 concentration. Of the brine results returned so far from the air-core drilling targeting the basal aquifer system, 93% returned grades exceeding 9,000mg/L SOP with 32% of samples returning grades over 10,000mg/L SOP. These results, combined with the previously reported surficial aquifer results, confirm the high-grade tenor of the Lake Throssell SOP project. Preliminary interpretation based on visual inspection of drill samples suggests that the palaeovalley system comprises multiple aquifer zones with a thick upper sequence of lacustrine clays and sequences of polymictic medium-coarse grained rounded to angular lithic clasts (e.g., gravels and rock fragments) occurring towards the base of the sequence. This is significant because these zones will have the highest porosity/permeability within the palaeovalley sequence and are therefore likely to host the most significant brine resources. These lithic zones, located in the deepest parts of the palaeovalley tested to date, range in thickness from a few metres up to 9m and, in some instances, there are multiple lithic horizons within the one drill hole ­ for example, LTAC008 (72-79m and 99-105m) and LTAC006 (88-93m and 96-99m). Brine production was also reported from some drill holes either at the contact with the basement metasediment (for example, LTAC005 @ 102m, at contact with basement shale) or within the basement metasediments (for example LTAC016, within basement quartzite and mudstone). Air-core drilling is scheduled to recommence in late January 2021 (weather permitting), with assay results from the remainder of the drilling expected by early March. A maiden JORC Mineral Resource Estimate is expected to be released next Quarter once the air-core drilling is complete and all results have been received and analysed. The Company's exploration team, with assistance from independent consultants, has commenced work to estimate a maiden JORC Exploration Target for the Lake Throssell Project, based on all available data gathered to date. This Exploration Target is expected to be published next month and will provide investors with an initial indication regarding the scale of this first stage of the project with additional surrounding tenement applications to be included in future drilling programs, once granted.
