Metal Hawk Advancing Drilling at Yarmany Project

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Metal Hawk (ASX: MHK) has been busy, exploration wise, at the company’s Yarmany project on the outskirts of Coolgardie in Western Australia.

Metal Hawk has already established the Yarmany project to host 50 kilometres of strike along the Ida Fault, a major regional structure on the western margin of Kalgoorlie Terrane, which is host to the Goldfields’ most significant lithium deposits including Delta Lithium’s Mt Ida project and Liontown Resources’ Kathleen Valley deposit.

The company’s completed its maiden aircore (AC) program of 148 holes for a total of 5,865 metres at the F-camp prospect area, designed to determine the orientation and the depth of weathering of several sparsely outcropping pegmatite units.

Although results from the aircore program are still to be received, Metal Hawk is already in site preparation mode getting set for deeper reverse circulation (RC) drilling, which will aim to effectively test a number of F-camp pegmatite target units beneath the weathering profile.

“Following the recent successful capital raising, we are very excited to get RC drilling underway this week,” Metal Hawk managing director Will Belbin said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“The aircore drilling program went very well and we believe it has helped us define the best parts of the large F-camp pegmatite swarm for bedrock testing.

“We are also very excited to be ramping up our extensive regional exploration program.

‘An extensive auger geochemical sampling program is now underway focusing on the southern half of the Yarmany project and this will help us quickly develop regional lithium targets for drilling in Q1 2024.”

Metal Hawk Identifies New Lithium Targets at Yarmany

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Metal Hawk (ASX: MHK) reported identification of new lithium targets along the Ida Fault within the company’s Yarmany lithium and nickel project near Coolgardie in Western Australia.

Metal Hawk noted the targets from a review of historical data it is currently undertaking for the Yarmany lithium and nickel project.

One target to emerge is the Reptile Dam prospect situated at the northern end of the Yarmany project, which Metal Hawk has labelled a priority target area for RC drilling testing for both lithium and nickel sulphide mineralisation.

Historic diamond drilling was carried out at Reptile Dam in 1973-74, with four diamond holes drilled for a total of 2,110 feet (643 metres) designed to test beneath surface gossanous material interpreted to represent highly weathered and potentially mineralised ultramafic rocks.

“We have identified new walk-up lithium targets from historical diamond drilling which we’ll be testing with our first campaign of RC drilling at Yarmany,” Metal Hawk managing director Will Belbin said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“We are in the process of systematically mapping, sampling and prioritising drill targets for lithium and nickel sulphide mineralisation.

“The favourable lithologies present at Reptile Dam are very encouraging and warrant more drilling.”
