Metal Hawk Identifies New Lithium Targets at Yarmany
THE DRILL SERGEANT: Metal Hawk (ASX: MHK) reported identification of new lithium targets along the Ida Fault within the company’s Yarmany lithium and nickel project near Coolgardie in Western Australia.
Metal Hawk noted the targets from a review of historical data it is currently undertaking for the Yarmany lithium and nickel project.
One target to emerge is the Reptile Dam prospect situated at the northern end of the Yarmany project, which Metal Hawk has labelled a priority target area for RC drilling testing for both lithium and nickel sulphide mineralisation.
Historic diamond drilling was carried out at Reptile Dam in 1973-74, with four diamond holes drilled for a total of 2,110 feet (643 metres) designed to test beneath surface gossanous material interpreted to represent highly weathered and potentially mineralised ultramafic rocks.
“We have identified new walk-up lithium targets from historical diamond drilling which we’ll be testing with our first campaign of RC drilling at Yarmany,” Metal Hawk managing director Will Belbin said in the company’s ASX announcement.
“We are in the process of systematically mapping, sampling and prioritising drill targets for lithium and nickel sulphide mineralisation.
“The favourable lithologies present at Reptile Dam are very encouraging and warrant more drilling.”
