Charger Metals Claims Confirmation of High-Grade Lithium at Medcalf

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Charger Metals (ASX: CHR) reported assay results from drilling targeting spodumene-pegmatites at the Medcalf spodumene discovery within the company’s Lake Johnston lithium prospect in the Yilgarn province of Western Australia.

Charger Metals encountered high-grade lithium intersections in 14 of 17 holes drilled in 2022 with a further 23 holes scheduled to be drilled during January and February 2023.

Results show drilling in 2022 intersected multiple stacked spodumene-pegmatites within a 100 metres-wide zone, with an aggregated thickness of up to 12m.

Lithium intersections include:

22CRC002
5 metres at 2.55 per cent lithium oxide (Li2O) from 68m, including 2m at 4.19 per cent Li2O;

22CRC005
3m at 1.25 per cent Li2O from 6m and
6m at 1.52 per cent Li2O from 26m and
3m at 1.21 per cent Li2O from 40m; and

22CRC007
5m at 1.86 per cent Li2O from 24m and
2m at 1.12 per cent Li2O from 47m and
4m at 1.83 per cent Li2O from 56m and
3m at 1.79 per cent Li2O from 71m.

“The first very encouraging drilling results are now to hand and drilling is continuing to intersect similar multiple-sheet pegmatites within a plunging, 100 metres-wide, structural zone,” Charger Metals managing director David Crook sad in the company’s ASX announcement.

“The drill holes reported here confirm high grade lithium from surface down to a vertical depth of 210 metres, and the ongoing drill program is expanding the extent of the spodumene-pegmatites along the strike direction and at progressively greater depths.”
