Another hole (DDH PL-078-22) intersected 104.9 metres of pegmatite from 120.4 to 225.3 metres averaging 1.58% Li2O, and a second 33.5-metre pegmatite zone from 246.7 to 280.2 metres averaging 1.63% Li2O.
“We are pleased with the drilling results from the 2022 drill program to date, with the Spark deposit remaining open in all directions. The focus continues to be at depth and to the west where the grade and thicknesses of the deposit remain robust.” stated VP exploration Garth Drever.
