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

Lithium prospects occur within a 50km long corridor along the southern and western margin of the Lake Johnston granite batholith.
