Drilling To Commence At Greenbushes South Lithium Project

Galan Lithium Limited (ASX: GLN) (Galan or the Company) is pleased to advise that the Program of Works (PoW) has been approved by the Department of Mines, Industry, Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) for the initial planned drilling activities at its 100%-owned Greenbushes South Lithium Project in Western Australia. Key Greenbushes South Project tenement, E70/4790, is located approximately 3 km south of the Greenbushes Lithium Mine (Figure 1).


Highlights:

 
  • Program of Works (PoW) approved for maiden diamond drilling campaign at Greenbushes South Lithium Project in Western Australia.
  • Drill pads built and ready, with drilling scheduled to commence this week.
  • Key targets located only 4.5 km south of Greenbushes Mine open pit.
  • Initial campaign of 2,500 metres set to test the first of several key targets identified within the project area.
  • Further 550+ soil samples submitted to delineate new pegmatite targets within the project area.
  • New ground geophysics underway over high trace element soil anomalies.
  • Four large target areas identified over the Kirup Project to the north.
The initial campaign (approximately 2,500 metres drilling planned) is set to test the first of several key targets identified within the highly prospective Greenbushes South. Construction of requisite drill pads is complete and drilling is scheduled to commence on 1 March 2023.

Ground geophysics also commenced earlier this month on previously identified targets within E70/4790. These targets were defined by high concentrations of lithium and other trace elements in soil samples. The new ground geophysical results are expected later this quarter.

Additionally, a further approximately 550 soil samples have been collected and submitted for analysis. These soil samples were collected around the multiple new pegmatite outcrops identified across recent months and are expected to assist in targeting and delineating mineralisation beneath the subsurface.

The Kirup Project (E70/4777, E70/5680, and E70/4690) (Figure 2), located to the north of Greenbushes South, has undergone extensive target generation based on the processing of Galan’s aerial geophysics. Four (4) large target areas demonstrate strong prospectivity for blind lithium pegmatites. Field mapping and soil sampling are planned within these target areas.

Galan Managing Director, JP Vargas de la Vega, commented:

“Well done to the Galan team in advancing us to this exciting point. We look forward to testing our hypothesis, via this maiden drilling campaign, that significant lithium mineralisation exists south of the Greenbushes Mine. We are extremely encouraged by all data collected to date that demonstrates the strong potential for this to be the case. This includes having multiple observations of minerals associated with pegmatites only one metre below the sub-surface in the area we are about to drill.”

Ekin Ober on Why AI Could Be Mining’s Most Valuable Tool Yet

For Ekin Ober, bringing generative artificial intelligence (AI) to the critical metals sector through her work at Aethos Labs wasn’t just about technological innovation — it reshaped how she thinks about strategy and sustainability in mining.

Now a principal at Kinterra Capital, Ober applies that broad, cross-disciplinary lens to investment decisions, emphasizing the importance of digital fluency, stakeholder alignment and long-term viability.

Her experience helps her identify operational bottlenecks and social license challenges early — essential in guiding assets like nickel and copper projects from concept to production.

Chris Berry: The West Must Invest in Refinement Now or Fall Further Behind

China’s grip on the battery metals sector has drawn increasing scrutiny in recent years as nations confront growing concerns around supply chain risk and resource security.

Through a blend of domestic output and aggressive overseas investment, particularly in Africa and South America, Chinese companies now command a significant share of upstream supply.

The country is responsible for roughly 60 percent of global rare earths production and controls over 70 percent of cobalt supply through its stakes in mines across the Democratic Republic of Congo.
