Voltaic Strategic Resources have confirmed lithium-bearing geology across its entire Ti Tree project neighbouring Red Dirt’s world-class Yinnietharra lithium discovery in the emerging Gascoyne region of Western Australia.
Assays support the expansion of Ti Tree’s Volta corridor to a 40km strike length while confirming three priority drill targets.
Anomalous tantalum (Ta) and caesium (Cs) from rock chips have also been shown to be the same chemical composition and texture as typical LCT pegmatites (highly fractionated and containing Cs, Ta and tourmaline).
Voltaic CEO Michael Walshe said this finding further strengthens the prospectivity of hosting an accurate LCT system.
Through the use of established best practices in lithium exploration, Voltaic have clearly demonstrated that the granites (and associated schists) within our tenure are fertile and the respective pegmatites are of comparable calibre to those at the neighbouring Yinnietharra project,” Mr Walshe said.
“The Ti Tree project has never been systematically explored for Li, providing Voltaic with an outstanding opportunity to make a ‘greenfields ‘discovery in a region that has become a Li exploration hotspot.
“Indeed, it could be argued that the TTS granites that underlay Ti Tree and Yinnietharra are comparable to those at world-class lithium deposits such as Pilgangoora in Western Australia, in terms of both fertility and fractionatio, and the Gascoyne region could soon emerge as Australia’s next major lithium supply hub.”
