Charger Metals NL (ASX: CHR, “Charger” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update for its planned drilling program and exploration at the Lake Johnston Lithium Project.
Highlights
- The Medcalf spodumene pegmatite swarm is being prepared for drilling during the December 2022 quarter:
- Spring flora survey completed.
- DMIRS Programme of Work (POW) application submitted.
- Heritage Protection Survey confirmed for the final week of October.
- The Company’s preferred drilling contractor is available for a November start.
- Drilling will target outcropping spodumene pegmatite dykes that form a cluster at least 800m long within a 300m-wide corridor.
- Rock-chip assays from Medcalf pegmatites range between 1.51% and 7.15% Li2O with the predominant lithium mineral being spodumene
- Target generation continues at the Mount Day Prospect
