Global Lithium Resources Drills Manna Lithium Deposit Extension

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Global Lithium Resources (ASX: GL1) timed the release of new drilling results nicely with the annual Diggers and Dealers Conference a weekend away.

Global Lithium Resources announced results from recently completed exploration drilling undertaken at the company’s 100 per cent-owned Manna lithium project on the outskirts of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.

The assay results came from some 6,261 metres of RC drilling, which the company declared to confirm an undercover Southwest extension to the Manna lithium deposit over a 600m strike length.

Drill results within this extension include:

MRC0468
13 metres at 0.96 per cent lithium oxide (Li2O) from 187m;

MRC0481
8m at 0.81 per cent Li2O from 86m; and

MRC0467
7m at 1.03 per cent Li2O from 78m.

Global Lithium acknowledged the grades achieved were lower compared to earlier results from the Manna Central area, but explained the CY24 drilling has highlighted potential to build on the current Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of 51.6 million tonnes at 1 per cent Li2O at Manna and delineate further open pit mineable mineral inventory.

“The 2024 exploration drill program at Manna has confirmed a new zone of spodumene hosting pegmatites and increased the team’s geological understanding of the project area,” Global Lithium Resources general manager – geology Logan Barber said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“The extension expands the footprint of the mineralised pegmatites at Manna and highlights the discovery upside that still exists following more than 100,000m of drilling completed to date.

“The results of this program have added further momentum for GL1’s exploration team following the recent increase of the Manna MRE.

“We look forward to further analysing the results and providing an update on planning regarding our next drill program at Manna.”
