Sayona Mining Defines High Potential Tabba Tabba Pegmatites

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Sayona Mining (ASX: SYA) has completed its first exploration drilling campaign at the company’s 100 per cent-owned Tabba Tabba lithium project in Western Australia.

Sayona Mining reported the drilling identified high potential pegmatite systems containing caesium and tantalum.

Based on these results, Sayona plans to conduct deeper drilling along a 7.5km prospective corridor located immediately south of the historic Tabba Tabba tantalum mine, where recent exploration by Wildcat Resources (ASX: WC8) has also identified lithium mineralisation.

An orientation ground gravity geophysical survey has commenced to identify the prospective gabbro – sediment contact for targeting, as this is an important control for lithium mineralisation within the area.

Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling is planned after the completion of the gravity survey to test existing and new gravity defined targets within fresh rock at depth.

“We are pleased with the results of the drilling program so far, which delineated a prospective lithium corridor, as we advance our wholly owned Western Australian lithium assets,” Sayona Mining director and Interim CEO James Brown said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“These encouraging drill results at Tabba Tabba identified high potential pegmatites and provide a strong basis for us to proceed to a deeper RC drilling program.

“Given the recent discoveries in neighbouring tenements, we are excited to progress the exploration for lithium mineralisation in Western Australia.

“We look forward to continuing our exploration program in both Québec, Canada and Western Australia as we expand and diversify our global lithium portfolio.”
