Auroch Minerals Confirms Kangaroo Hills LCT Pegmatites

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Auroch Minerals (ASX: AOU) reported assay results from pegmatite rock chip samples taken at the company’s 80 per cent-owned Kangaroo Hills Lithium Project (KHLP) in Western Australia (Lodestar Minerals 20%).

Auroch Minerals said the results achieved had exceeded its expectations, returning 2.37 per cent lithium oxide (Li2O) and 0.17 per cent Li2O.

The company made note that the mineralised outcrops it encountered are located over 600 metres south-east of drill hole NPRC084 that provided the first hit of lithium mineralisation observed at KHLP (6m at 1.38 per cent Li2O from 198m) in November 2022.

Auroch considers the latest results could potentially expand the mineralised footprint of the project.

“The discovery of outcropping mineralised pegmatites at a different location to the earlier November 2022 discovery at the Kangaroo Hills project is extremely exciting,” Auroch Minerals technical director Robin Cox said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“Just as exciting are the elevated pathfinder elements for LCT pegmatite in the weathered outcrops across the project.

“The company now has confirmed three high priority targets that present the potential for significant strike length mineralisation and will be tested in the first phase of drilling at Kangaroo Hills.”
