Cavalier Resources Commences Drilling at Ella’s Rock Lithium Project

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Cavalier Resources (ASX: CVR) has mounted its first drilling campaign at the company’s Ella’s Rock lithium-nickel-gold project located in Forrestania, Western Australia.

Cavalier Resources has an initial program of 2,500 metres of aircore drilling planned to test the Fitzgerald and Baché lithium-caesium- tantalum (LCT) targets it has previously identified via geochemical surveys conducted in 2023.

These surveys identified 277 Deep Ground Penetrating Radar (DGPR) targets through a follow-up survey with signals that correlated to those surveyed at the Mt Cattlin lithium project, which had revealed coarse-grained lithium-bearing pegmatites.

“This maiden drill program over the untested Fitzgerald and Baché LCT anomalies marks a major milestone for the Ella’s Rock lithium-nickel-gold project,” Cavalier Resources executive technical director Daniel Tuffin said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“The project, which is located between the world-class Mt Cattlin and Mt Holland lithium projects, has remained largely unexplored due to its remoteness and challenges associated with access.

“This initial campaign is the first step towards drill-testing some of the 277 LCT signals identified by UltraMag via their DGPR survey.

“UltraMag’s findings were promising as the signals not only exhibited correlation with the company’s previous geochemical surveys, but also matched historic signals that led to the discovery of further coarse-grained lithium-bearing pegmatites at the Mt Cattlin lithium project, located 90 kilometres to the south.”
