Charger Metals has confirmed high-grade lithium intersections from 14 of 17 holes targeted in the first round of drilling at the Medcalf Spodumene Discovery, part of the Company’s Lake Johnston lithium prospect in Western Australia.

It is an exciting development for the Company, considering Lake Johnson’s location on the doorstep of the world-class Earl Grey Project, lying just 70 kilometres to the west.

The production-friendly Medcalf spodumene pegmatites revealed grades up to 4.19% within a 100m-wide zone, with an aggregated thickness of up to 12 meters.

The first very encouraging drilling results are now to hand, and drilling is continuing to intersect similar multiple-sheet pegmatites within a plunging, 100m-wide, structural zone,” Charger’s Managing Director David Crook said.

“The drill holes reported here confirm high-grade lithium from surface down to a vertical depth of 210m, and the ongoing drill programme is expanding the extent of the spodumene-pegmatites along the strike direction and at progressively greater depths.”
