Critical Resources Managing Director Alex Biggs said: “For 30 out of our first 32 holes to intersect spodumene bearing mineralisation is a significant achievement. We are focusing on the Pegmatite 6 zone initially which will form the basis of a JORC compliant Resource estimate and next we plan to be testing the strike extent of mineralisation to the east and north towards the Pegmatite 18 occurrence. We are very pleased with what we are seeing at Mavis Lake so far and are looking forward to more excellent drill and assay results”.
