Tyranna Resources Ltd (ASX: TYX) has received positive assay results from the 50 rock-chip samples collected in July at the Namibe Lithium Project in Angola.
The results confirm that high quality lithium mineralisation is present within the Namibe Lithium Project with sufficient abundance to warrant continued investigation of the rest of the pegmatite field, which is greatly underexplored.
Key highlights
- Average grade of 50 samples = 3.21% Li2O, including maximum of 9.74% Li2O
- High grade spodumene present; average grade 7.49% Li2O, maximum of 7.88% Li2O
- High quality spodumene; undegraded and very low concentrations of contaminants
- Widespread occurrence of spodumene at site 21n confirms the potential for economically significant lithium mineralisation
We are very excited by these results which provide further encouragement and confirmation that the Namibe Lithium Project contains substantial high grade spodumene mineralisation and justifies Tyranna’s acquisition of what is proving to be a valuable project,” Executive Director, Paul Williams, said.
“We have defined a larger drill- target area at the site known as 21n, and these results in particular provide further confidence in designing our maiden drilling programme. We are looking forward to the next phase of exploration to test these areas at depth.”
Rock-chip sampling results
A key objective of the recently completed fieldwork was a more in-depth investigation of the currently known sites of lithium mineralisation, focussing upon sites 19a, 19b, 21g, 21k and 21n.
While travelling to reach site 21g, a small beryl-rich pegmatite was seen and sampled, and this site has been allocated site code 22a. A total of 50 samples were collected.
