SensOre Ltd (ASX: S3N) (“SensOre” or the “Company”) is pleased to advise that it has completed geophysical surveying at Stelar Metals Ltd’s (ASX:SLB) (“Stelar”) 100% owned Lithium Trident Project in the north of Broken Hill, NSW. The co-funded geophysical survey is a collaboration between SensOre and Stelar and is designed to pilot test SensOre’s potentially new ground-breaking techniques for the direct detection of candidate Caesium signatures of potential LCT-bearing pegmatites. An important part of the program is taking data and knowledge from Western Australia and directly applying it at continent scale to NSW. This is possible using SensOre’s Australia data cube.
Highlights
- 2,147 line-km high-resolution, low-level airborne magnetic and radiometric surveying completed at Stelar Metals' Trident Project in Broken Hill, NSW
- Survey forms part of development of SensOre's next generation litho-geochemical and geophysical tools for exploration targeting of critical minerals across NSW and Australia wide.
- High priority technology development project to be rapidly integrated and deployed into SensOre’s growing AI ML predictive toolbox for discovery.
- Airborne campaign co-funded under NSW Government's Critical Minerals and High-Tech Metals Activation Grants worth $322,000
SensOre CEO Richard Taylor said: "We are reviewing the data and looking forward to the results. Lithium direct detection techniques are less developed than for other metals due to a combination of factors. Expanding the exploration toolkit to accelerate new discoveries has the potential to increase lithium resources in Australia and contribute to lower battery prices in the future."

Stelar has previously identified multiple pegmatite swarms along ~15km of prospective strike length where tin and tantalum have been exploited for over 140 years. Mapped individual pegmatites, confirmed as lithium-rich LCT-type fractionated pegmatites in the area, measure over 1km in length and up to 100m in width. Rock chip sampling from multiple historic mines in the area has further confirmed the potential for high-grade lithium- bearing pegmatites of the project.
The survey completed on 28 May and is expected to be followed up with a ground campaign as part of further geological and geochemical studies as SensOre looks to harness its advanced AI – Machine Learning technology approach to assist accelerated minerals exploration programs.
