Galan Lithium Surveys Positive Anomalous Soil Assays at Greenbushes South
THE DRILL SERGEANT: Galan Lithium (ASX: GLN) recently completed the first exploration sampling and mapping work undertaken by the company at its Greenbushes South lithium project in Western Australia.
The Greenbushes South lithium project is a Joint Venture between Galan (80%) and Lithium Australia (ASX: LIT) (20%).
Galan Lithium has received the results of a completed geochemical survey covering 425 soil samples and 14 rock chip samples taken at the northern edge of its E70/4790 tenement and at the mapped location of the Donnybrook-Bridgetown Shear Zone (DBSZ).
The DBSZ a primarily associated with syntectonic emplacement of the lithium-bearing pegmatites of the Greenbushes mine to the north.
After the raw data from the survey has been processed it will be sent to Southern Geoscience Consultants, who have been contracted to interpret results for potential lithium targets.
Pathfinder elements such as arsenic and antimony have been demonstrated in elevated levels in soil samples near the trace of the DBSZ.
When combined with historical data in the area, Galan believes this indicates the strong potential for pegmatite targets within pending applications to the north.
Other pathfinder elements such as tin and rubidium show a broad lag signal east of the DBSZ.
“We are excited with the prospectivity at our Greenbushes South lithium project and are encouraged with the new soil sample results that continue to indicate that the tracing elements that are found within the Donnybrook sheer zone may well host lithium pegmatites the same as in the Greenbushes mine bordering to the north of our tenements,” Galan Lithium managing director JP Vargas de la Vega said in the company’s ASX announcement.
“Galan looks forward to further strengthening its geological data and knowledge within its tenements as soon as the report from our consultants is completed.
“The results will formulate our next exploration phase when we will be able to generate and prioritise specific exploration targets in the area.”
