Wildcat Resources Claims New Tabba Tabba Lithium Discovery

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Wildcat Resources (ASX: WC8) claimed another lithium discovery at the company’s Tabba Tabba lithium project, near Port Hedland, in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

Wildcat Resources reported discovery of the Luke pegmatite as well as further results achieved at the Leia pegmatite from ongoing drilling at Tabba Tabba.

The company made the Luke pegmatite discovery, described as “a thick lithium mineralised repetition” while conducting exploration drilling beneath the Leia deposit.

Intercepts include:

TARC111D
41 metres at 1 per cent lithium oxide (Li2O) from 267m (downhole width), including 24m at 1.3 per cent Li2O from 276m within 80.3m at 0.8 per cent Li2O from 232.7m.

Diamond drilling at Leia continued to return impressive results including:

TADD015
68m at 1.4 per cent Li2O from 337m (est. true width), including 50m at 1.5 per cent Li2O from 338m; and

TADD011
58.7m at 1.3 per cent Li2O from 333.1m (est. true width), including 11.8m at 2.3 per cent Li2O from 362.2m.

Wildcat said the discovery of Luke had delivered much encouragement for the company to continue its aggressive exploration campaign across the Tabba Tabba tenements.

“The blind discovery of another thick mineralised pegmatite at Luke confirms the ongoing exploration potential at Tabba Tabba,” Wildcat Resources geology manager Torrin Rowe said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“It is pleasing to see our exploration team’s efforts in developing and testing geological theories being rewarded.

“We look forward to delineating the scale of the exciting Luke pegmatite and continuing to test the developing exploration model with the aim of making further discoveries.”
