Charger Metals Ups Exploration Efforts at Bynoe Lithium Project

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Charger Metals (ASX: CHR) has upped the exploration ante at the company’s Bynoe lithium project in the Northern Territory.

Charger Metals has commenced an Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) geophysical survey in the northeastern portion of its Bynoe tenure, which is a form of passive seismic surveying that uses ambient sound waves to detect contrasting rock units.

The technology has been used to successfully detect ‘blind’ pegmatite systems that cannot be seen at surface.

Elsewhere a ground gravity survey is being carried out over the northeastern portion of the Bynoe project where earlier petrophysical testwork completed on drill core from diamond drilling demonstrated a density contrast between the pegmatites and the metasedimentary country rock.

To complete an exploration trifecta, Charger has commenced infill surface geochemical surveys infilling to 200m line spacing over key prospective areas at Bynoe of no previous sampling or wide-spaced (400m) sampling.

“The company has completed a significant amount of drilling to-date at Bynoe across several key prospect areas, and we look forward to receiving the assay results for each of the target areas that have been drill-tested so far.” Charger Metals managing director Aidan Platel said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“In addition to systematically drill-testing seven of the numerous (>20) prospects already identified, the company has initiated simultaneous ANT, gravity and surface sampling surveys in key areas of the Bynoe project that are currently considered prospective yet underexplored.

“The surveys have the ability to delineate new high priority drill targets, including targets that are not apparent at surface, and we look forward to seeing the results and modelling of these surveys in October.”
