Azure Minerals Encounters More Broad High-Grade Lithium at Andover

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Azure Minerals (ASX: AZS) has continued its run of high-grade lithium mineralisation hits from the company’s Andover project (Azure 60% / Creasy Group 40%), located in the West Pilbara region of Western Australia.

Azure Minerals reported recent drilling activities encountered broad zones of lithium mineralisation, which the company declared to demonstrate continuity over 1,000 metres of strike extent and from surface to over 350m down-dip.

Mineralisation is open along strike and down-dip where Azure currently has five drill rigs undertaking both extensional and in-fill drilling along the project’s AP0011 / AP0012 / AP0014 pegmatite corridor.

Latest drilling results received include intersections of:

ANDD0214
90.2 metres at 1.23 per cent lithium oxide (Li2O) from 172.1m, including 8.1m at 1.91 per cent Li2O from 172.1m, and 25.8m at 1.53 per cent Li2O from 210.4m, and 7m at 1.58 per cent Li2O from 250.5m; and

ANDD0210
63.7m at 1.15 per cent Li2O from 218.8m, including 34.7m at 1.59 per cent Li2O from 220.2m, which includes 8m at 2.65 per cent Li2O from 220.2m, and 7.8m at 2 per cent Li2O from 235m.

“It’s very pleasing to confirm that as we step out our broad-spaced drilling along strike and down-dip, we’re continuing to intersect substantial widths of high-grade lithium mineralisation,”

“The 50 metres to plus-100 metres mineralised widths confirm that the AP0011 / AP0012 pegmatite corridor, which extends over a strike length of more than two kilometres, has potential to host sizable volumes of lithium mineralisation.

“Our confidence that Andover has the potential to host lithium resources of world-class scale continues to grow, particularly as we consider the abundance of pegmatites within the overall project area that have demonstrated similar high-grade lithium mineralisation at surface that are yet to be drilled.”
