Azure Minerals Encounters More Broad Lithium Intersections at Andover

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Azure Minerals (ASX: AZS) announced encounters with two further broad intersections of lithium mineralisation at the company’s Andover project (Azure 60% / Creasy Group 40%), located in the West Pilbara region of Western Australia.

Azure Minerals told the market recent drilling has confirmed broad mineralised zones extend for more than 1,200 metres along strike and down-dip from surface to vertical depths over 350m.

Mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth with the company continuing drilling activities to test along the northeastern and southwestern extensions of previously identified pegmatites.

Broad zones of lithium mineralisation were intersected in AP0011 pegmatite, including:

ANDD0223
101.3 metres at 1.21 per cent lithium oxide (Li2O) from 264.7m in (approx.95.5m True Width), including 64.1m at 1.63 per cent Li2O from 284.8m (approx.60.4m True Width); and

ANDD0221
100.2m at 1.24 per cent Li2O from 101.5m in (approx.92m True Width), including 28m at 1.86 per cent Li2O from 126.9m (approx.26m True Width), and 31.7m at 1.44 per cent Li2O from 170m (approx.29m True Width)

Another hole drilled near-surface mineralisation in the AP0012 pegmatite, returning:

ANDD0220
39.5m at 1.06 per cent Li2O from 2m (approx.33.6m True Width), including 9.9m at 1.7 per cent Li2O from 22m (approx.8.4m True Width)

Additional mineralised intersections included:

ANDD0224
13.6m at 1.12 per cent Li2O from 153.7m and 41.2m at 0.9 per cent Li2O from 177.4m; and

ANDD0225
32m at 1.5 per cent Li2O from 150.7m in, including 10.6m at 2.34 per cent Li2O from 160.2m.
