Charger Metals NL (ASX: CHR, “Charger” or the “Company”) is pleased to advise that its maiden drilling campaign at the Lake Johnston Lithium Project, initially targeting the Medcalf Spodumene Prospect has now commenced.
- Drilling has commenced to test out-cropping Medcalf spodumene-pegmatites at the Lake Johnston Lithium Project.
- Recent acquisition of E63/1883, near the Medcalf Spodumene Prospect, increased Charger’s land position by 33km2.

Charger’s Managing Director, David Crook, commented:
“Charger Metals has commenced drilling its maiden drilling programme into the Medcalf Spodumene Prospect. The initial programme aims to test a 300m by 800m outcropping pegmatite swarm.”
Drilling the Medcalf Spodumene Prospect
As previously reported, a programme of up to 40 reverse circulation drill holes will test the Medcalf Spodumene Prospect. Fieldwork previously identified a spodumene-pegmatite swarm, comprising about 20 anastomosing pegmatite dykes that outcrop in an area 800m long within a 300m wide corridor. Ongoing mapping continues to identify additional spodumene- pegmatite outcrops in this area.
About the Lake Johnston Lithium Project
The Lake Johnston Lithium Project is located 450km east of Perth, Western Australia. Charger’s predominately 70% interest is through a Joint Venture, with the remaining 30% held by Lithium Australia Ltd.
Lithium prospects occur within a 50km long corridor along the southern and western margin of the Lake Johnston granite batholith. Key prospects include the advancing Medcalf Spodumene Prospect and much of the Mount Day lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatite field, prospective for lithium and tantalum minerals.
