  • 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
