The Gorge Lithium Project comprises of 12 claims covering 45.1 km2 of ground with two known pegmatite occurrences, Nelson and Koshman, identified by historical works during the mid-1950s. The project geology consists of favourable structures along contacts between granite intrusions and metasediments which is a host rock of spodumene pegmatites.The pegmatite dykes observed at both Nelson and Koshman occurrence are simple, non-zoned, albite-type spodumene pegmatites with trace amounts of oxides and apatite.
Exploration Results
Five grab samples were collected in 2018 for a previous operator and analysed for lithium returning values of up to 3.22% Li2O (and an average of 2.24% Li2O).
During the Due Diligence, from five samples, four samples included Li2O values above 3.78%, with the 2 highest results returned at 5.75% and 6.80%.
High-grade lithium assays from channel samples taken from the Koshman and Nelson pegmatite showings at the Gorge lithium project, including 1.8m @3.75% Li2O, confirm significant project potential.
