TG Metals Encounters Further High-Grade Lithium at Burmeister

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.”
