TG Metals’ Metallurgical Work Produces Quality Lithium Concentrate

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: TG Metals (ASX: TG6) reported preliminary results from recent metallurgical testwork undertaken on the Burmeister deposit, within the company’s Lake Johnston lithium project in Western Australia.

TG Metals had Initial Heavy Liquid Separation (HLS) work carried out applying dry magnetic separation technology that produced quality concentrate with a lithia grade ranging from 5.34 per cent lithium oxide (Li2O) to 6.31 per cent Li2O from three drill core representative composite samples recovered from the Burmeister deposit.

“These initial sighter metallurgical testwork on the Burmeister pegmatites are outstanding and support the potential to achieve a SC6 (6.0% Li2O spodumene concentrate) concentrate utilising HLS processing technology that supports our initial assumptions,” TG Metals CEO David Selfe said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“Simple mineralogy equals simple processing.

“As we progress Burmeister, we aim to demonstrate a mineral resource conducive to open-pit mining and simple metallurgy, providing favourable economics for a spodumene lithium hard rock mining and processing operation.

“A combination of Ore Sorting and HLS technology is the preferred processing method, over other more complex mineral processing flowsheets to produce a course, quality spodumene concentrate.

“Flotation batch testwork is progressing on the combined fines and middlings size fractions of the crushed ore, and once complete, the company will have the basis of a preliminary flowsheet which is consistent with a low capital intensity approach.”

TG Metals Encounters High-Grade Lithium at Jaegermeister

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: TG Metals (ASX:TG6) has again hit high-grades of lithium at the company’s Lake Johnston lithium-nickel-gold project in Western Australia.

TG Metals’ latest lithium encounter is at the Jaegermeister prospect that sits near the company’s initial Burmeister discovery.

The company recently concluded a 19 hole Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling program at Jaegermeister, from which most assays have been received confirming multiple intersections of spodumene bearing pegmatites with high lithium oxide (Li2O) grades and widths up to 10 metres.

Highlighted results include:

10 metres at 1.19 per cent Li2O from 73m, including 2m at 2.07 per cent Li2O from 77m;

6m at 1.38 per cent Li2O from 76m, including 2m at 2 per cent Li2O from 76m; and

3m at 1.22 per cent Li2O from 49m and 3m at 1.24 per cent Li2O from 63m, including 1m at 2.68 per cent Li2O from 50m.

TG Metals believes Jaegermeister has the potential to be of similar size and scale to Burmeister.

The company compared the discovery drilling at Burmeister in 2023 that initially intersected up to 9m pegmatite widths to the first drilling at Jaegermeister producing 10m widths and +2% Li2O assay intervals declaring this to be an encouraging indication of a strong lithium pegmatite system.

“These are outstanding results for the initial drilling on Jaegermeister,” TG Metals CEO David Selfe said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“It provides confidence that we have at least two areas of high-grade lithium mineralisation at Lake Johnston and further enhances the potential for a standalone spodumene lithium project for TG Metals.

“Multiple lithium pegmatites have been defined at Jaegermeister, at relatively shallow depths displaying size characteristics very similar to the nearby large Burmeister deposit.

“These pegmatites appear to be thickening towards the west, an area that will be a priority target for the next round of drilling at Lake Johnston.”

TG Metals to Commence Drilling at Lake Johnston Lithium Project

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: TG Metals (ASX: TG6) is gearing up for the next round of drilling to be undertaken at the company’s Lake Johnston project in Western Australia.

TG Metals has had Program of Work (PoW) applications approved by DEMIRS for infill drilling to 100m x 100m at the Burmeister lithium deposit and for a maiden drilling program to be carried out at Jaegermeister.

Two RC drilling rigs will be deployed to Jaegermeister Targets A and B and Burmeister infill drilling.

The company has had to hurry things along to make up for delays experienced due to inclement weather interruptions and a longer than expected environmental approval process.

Previous infill soil sampling at the Jaegermeister prospect resulted in the definition of a new anomaly, Target E.

This anomaly lies to the north of Target A and has been included in the coverage of the recently acquired seismic field data.

Consequently, the number of priority drilling targets has expanded to five (5) at Jaegermeister.

“The team is excited to recommence drilling,” TG Metals CEO David Selfe said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“In particular, the first holes into the priority targets at the Jaegermeister prospect, are greatly anticipated.

“Further soil sampling has grown and improved the Jaegermeister targets, which contains multiple soil anomalies bigger than the Burmeister lithium deposit initially presented.

“With such a large area of lithium soil anomalism to drill test, we’re confident that the use of seismic geophysics will fast-track our targeting.

“We’ve completed two reconnaissance 2D seismic lines; one along the Burmeister trend and a longer one along the Jaegermeister trend.

“If successful, this technique will not only minimise the drilling required for further discovery and resource definition, but it will also provide a very good understanding of the pegmatite system at Lake Johnston and its size potential.

TG Metals Encounters Further High-Grade Lithium at Burmeister

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: TG Metals (ASX: TG6) has continued to hit high-grade lithium while drilling at the Burmeister prospect at the company’s Lake Johnston lithium-nickel-gold project in Western Australia.

TG Metals’ latest drill campaign consisted reverse circulation (RC) and diamond core drilling at the Burmeister lithium discovery.

Results from the diamond drilling were reported in February and now final assays have been received from the RC program, which the company said had continued to confirm intersections of spodumene bearing pegmatites with high lithium oxide Li2O grades and widths up to 20 metres.

Better results from the RC drilling include:

20 metres at 1.38 per cent Li2O from 120m, including 1m at 2.04 per cent Li2O from 124m and 1m at 2.02 per cent Li2O from 135m;

20m at 1.13 per cent Li2O from 129m, including 1m at 2.71 per cent Li2O from 133m and 1m at 2.47 per cent Li2O from 146m; and

5m at 1.61 per cent Li2O from 56m, and 2m at 0.97 per cent Li2O from 144m and 2m at 2.17 per cent Li2O from 167m, including 1m at 3.09 per cent Li2O from 167m.

“These RC drilling results continue to add thick, high grade lithium mineralisation to the previously reported diamond drill results at Burmeister,” TG Metals CEO David Selfe said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“It is pleasing that this program has confirmed the continuity of these pegmatites up dip and the mineralisation remains open.

“The next phase drilling at Burmeister is to infill to a closer spaced pattern as we progress to defining a maiden resource, which will demonstrate the scale and quality of the Burmeister spodumene pegmatites.

“In the meantime, we are ensuring all the approvals are completed at several other high priority drill targets both at Jaegermeister and further south along the greenstone belt at Tay.

“We feel there is a real opportunity to make further discoveries as we progressively test the 50 kilometres of greenstone belt within our project area.”

TG Metals Expands Lake Johnston Lithium Soil Anomaly

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: TG Metals (ASX: TG6) talked its way out of a speeding ticket from the ASX by providing an update on lithium exploration activities at the company’s Lake Johnston lithium-nickel-gold project in Western Australia.

TG Metals informed the market of having conducted infill and extensional soil sampling (400m x 50m spacing) over the area immediately east of the company’s recent spodumene rich pegmatite discovery at Burmeister.

The company said the results from the sampling defined a new area of lithium in soils anomalism, which has been identified as the Jaegermeister prospect that is larger in scale than the Burmeister soil anomaly.

“Since the discovery of the spodumene pegmatites at Burmeister, the deposit models we have been considering have been based on the Earl Grey lithium mine area,” TG Metals CEO David Selfe said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“With this in mind, the lithologies at Jaegermeister, were always going to be a target.

“The current drilling at Burmeister, targeting up dip, down dip and along strike of the known high-grade lithium pegmatites, will provide knowledge we can apply to the Jaegermeister area and provides us with another quality drill target for early 2024.

“We are eagerly anticipating the next drilling results from Burmeister which we expect assays back in the next 2 weeks.”

TG Metals indicated further soil sampling to infill and test extensions to the Jaegermeister anomaly is to be carried out over the coming weeks and drill testing will be designed as a first pass over the defined high tenor lithium contours.

The company is continuing Phase 2 RC drilling at the Burmeister lithium discovery with samples to be dispatched to the laboratory regularly with a diamond drill rig is deployed as required for drill hole extensions.

Aboriginal heritage surveys will be conducted over proposed drill lines as they are designed and targeted flora and fauna surveys will be completed in conjunction with a Program of Work (POW) to be submitted for the proposed drilling program.

Full approvals are expected in Q1 2024.

TG Metals Recommences Drilling on Burmeister Lithium Discovery

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: TG Metals (ASX: TG6) wasted little time returning to drill on the recent Burmeister lithium discovery within the company’s Lake Johnston lithium-nickel-gold project in Western Australia.

The drilling return is set to commence with RC drilling on the Burmeister lithium soil anomaly with a Phase 2 program to follow the Phase 1 program that yielded high-grade spodumene pegmatite intercepts.

The Phase 2 program will entail 13 RC drillholes on extensional positions and an initial 30 to 40 metres of diamond core tail on previously drilled RC hole TGRC0009.

Drilling is designed to target up dip and down dip extensions of known pegmatite positions and to test along strike and extensional positions in the north, south and west within the 4.5km x 1.7km Burmeister lithium soil anomaly.

“We are in a unique position of being able to move on quickly to this second phase of drilling,” TG Metals CEO David Selfe said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“It’s critical that we continue with our targeted approach to exploring this significant newly discovered lithium pegmatite system and enhancing our understanding of its size and quality.

“The company looks forward to updating shareholders with ongoing drilling results and other Lake Johnston project exploration for the remainder of this year.”

TG Metals Encounters High-Grade Lithium at Lake Johnston

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: TG Metals (ASX: TG6) joined the ranks of currently hot lithium exploration companies after reporting on exploration drilling activities at the company’s Lake Johnston lithium-nickel-gold projecin Western Australia.

TG Metals conducted a RC drilling program designed as the initial test of the Burmeister lithium soil anomaly it had previously defined.

The Burmeister lithium soil anomaly covers an area of approximately 4.5km by 1.7km, with the Phase 1 drilling testing a higher tenor area of anomalism.

Drilling intersected spodumene bearing pegmatite with high-grades up to 2.28 per cent lithium dioxide (Li2O).

Better results include:

9m at 1.35 per cent Li2O from 30m, including 1m at 2.03 per cent Li2O from 32m and 1m at 2.21 per cent Li2O from 37m; and

9m at 1.62 per cent Li2O from 87m, including 1m at 2.28 per cent Li2O from 87m

“These are exceptional initial drilling results especially since we have only tested such a small part of the soil anomaly,” TG Metals CEO David Selfe said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“There appears to be multiple pegmatites with consistent widths of between 8 to 12 metres, that are completely mineralised with spodumene.

“The targeted soil geochemical anomaly is very large and remains open, particularly to the east.

“The next phase of drilling will begin shortly and is proposed to test both the lateral and depth potential of this lithium pegmatite system.

“We are planning for an immediate follow up drilling campaign.”

TG Metals Encounters High Grade Nickel Mineralisation at Lake Johnston Project

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: TG Metals (ASX: TG6) reported results of an initial aircore drilling program conducted in August on the Burmeister nickel laterite prospect at the company’s Lake Johnston nickel-lithium-gold project in Western Australia.

TG Metals, aircore drilling on the Burmeister nickel laterite deposit produced numerous high-grade intercepts of +1 per cent nickel and up to 3.23 per cent nickel.

Highlights include:

TGAC0027
from 18m to 31m, 13m at 1.12 per cent nickel;

TGAC0024
from 17m to 23m, 6m at 1.27 per cent nickel;

TGAC0017
from 20m to 22m, 2m at 1.43 per cent nickel; and

TGAC0011
from 28m to 29m, 1m at 3.23 per cent nickel.

TG Metals explained the drilling was widely spaced, effectively testing a large area of nickel laterite mineralisation, with a future proposed infill drilling (Phase Two) required to better define the continuity of this mineralisation.

“This initial aircore drilling program was designed to evaluate the presence of high-grade nickel within the laterite profile,” TG Metals CEO David Selfe said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“The results have exceeded our expectations and yielded valuable insights into factors influencing the +1% high grade nickel laterite mineralisation.

“This mineralisation has the potential to serve as direct feed for third party laterite nickel processing facilities.

“We are also keen to potentially take advantage of the extensive lower grade material, with the aim of identifying an initial resource that may perform favourably to an on-site beneficiation up-grade.”

TG Metals to Commence Drilling on Lake Johnston Nickel Targets

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: TG Metals (ASX: TG6) is gearing up for drilling programs to be carried out on the company’s Lake Johnston nickel-lithium-gold project in Western Australia.

TG Metals received final Program of Works (PoW) approvals for drilling programs on the Bremer Burmeister nickel laterite and nickel sulphide targets.

The company explained the drilling will entail multiple phases of drilling allowing follow-up infill and extensional drilling based on in-field observations as the drilling is conducted.

Drill samples will be collected from the Bremer Burmeister nickel laterite deposit to assess mineralisation suitability for beneficiation and grade suitability for third party processing.

Aboriginal heritage survey field activities were completed on the Burmeister lithium soil anomaly in preparation for proposed RC drilling programs.

TG Metals has already completed infill and extensional soil sampling over the Burmeister lithium prospect and initial multielement soil sampling over the distal projects of Lake Percy, Pagrus Hill and Wellstead Rock, from which samples are currently in the lab for analysis with results expected in July.

“We are excited to be preparing our first drilling programs on our combined nickel sulphide and laterite oxide targets,” TG Metals CEO David Selfe said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“Whilst it has been a long time coming, we have been able to define compelling nickel and lithium targets that are backed up by geochemistry and geophysics, that we expect to yield tangible results which will flow into the second half of 2023.”
