Venus Metals Corporation Limited (ASX:VMC) has commenced an RC drilling programme that will test recently identified lithium (Li) soil and rock chip anomalies for pegmatite-hosted lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) mineralisation in the bedrock near the Youanmi gold mine in Western Australia.
Three east-northeast trending lithium (Li) anomalies in the northern part of E57/983 were delineated by a geochemical soil survey at a historical beryl occurrence reported in MINEDEX (S0017351). Rock chip samples from sub-cropping pegmatite nearby have up to 2.11% Li2O.
The Manindi North Li prospect is located within the granite – greenstone contact zone at the Youanmi greenstone belt that is considered prospective for LCT pegmatite mineralisation.
