Azure Minerals Encounters Further Broad High-Grade Lithium Intersections at Andover

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Azure Minerals (ASX: AZS) reported further broad intersections of high-grade lithium mineralisation from diamond drilling undertaken at the company’s Andover project (Azure 60% / Creasy Group 40%), located in the West Pilbara region of Western Australia.

Azure Minerals’ rlatest drilling efforts produced broadest mineralised intersections of:

ANDD0215
112.4 metres at 1.05 per cent lithium oxide (Li2O) from 263.3m, including 30.3m at 1.18 per cent Li2O from 263.3m, including 13.5m at 1.55 per cent Li2O from 280.1m and 59m at 1.24 per cent Li2O from 316.7m, including 10.1m at 1.7 per cent Li2O from 330.4m and 16.5m at 1.57 per cent Li2O from 353.5m; and

ANDD0210
52.5m at 1.36 per cent Li2O from 14.1m, including 28.3m at 1.83 per cent Li2O from 14.8m, including 3.6m at 3.21 per cent Li2O from 14.8m.

Azure Minerals said its latest drilling had confirmed lithium mineralisation extends from pegmatite outcrops down-dip for more than 350 metres.

A broad, high-grade, lithium-rich pegmatite has been confirmed over 400m length with drilling extending mineralisation further to the west with large step-outs.

“As our drill holes step out to the west, we’re encountering very broad widths of mineralised pegmatites containing high grades of lithium,” Azure Minerals managing director Tony Rovira said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“It’s also pleasing that these latest assay results correlate closely with the presence of spodumene, supporting the company’s exploration model and allowing us to accurately plan and execute our drilling in advance of receiving assays.

“Given the substantial widths and strike lengths of individual pegmatites, and the overall scale of the Andover pegmatite swarm with hundreds of outcropping pegmatites, we’re confident that our project has the potential to host lithium resources of world-class scale.”
