Large Lithium Soil Anomaly Outlined at Lake Johnston

Flynn Gold Limited (“FG1” or “Flynn Gold”) (ASX: FG1) is pleased to announce that assay results from first-pass soil sampling completed in late 2023 have identified a large, high priority lithium target at its 100% owned Lake Johnston Lithium Project in Western Australia.


Highlights

  • Soil sampling outlines a large, high priority lithium anomaly at Flynn Gold’s Lake Johnston Project in Western Australia
  • Priority Target 1 presents as a large scale (4km x 1km), strong anomaly with twenty-three samples returning assay results over 100ppm Li2O
  • Anomaly remains open to the south and covers lithologies considered favourable to host pegmatites
  • Priority Target 1 anomaly supported by geology and pathfinder element geochemistry
  • Additional lithium targets identified near recently mapped pegmatites
  • Planning underway for follow-up infill and extensional soil program

The target is located 11km southeast of the Burmeister1 lithium pegmatite discovery held by TG Metals Limited (ASX:TG6) and just 5km southeast of the Mt Gordon Prospect2 held by Charger Metals NL (ASX:CHR) (see Figures 1 and 2).

Pegmatites were identified at the project3 on E63/2190 during an initial reconnaissance field trip in 2023. This soil sampling program was designed to provide first-pass geochemical coverage over this main trend.

Managing Director and CEO, Neil Marston commented,

“We are very pleased to report outstanding assay results from our first soil program at Lake Johnston, which is rapidly emerging as WA’s newest lithium hotspot.

“Flynn has outlined a 4km-long strong lithium soil anomaly, along strike from the recent high-grade lithium discoveries at the nearby Burmeister, Jaegermeister and Mt Gordon prospects. This anomaly extends to the limit of the sampled area and has potential to be extended to the south by further sampling.

“Over the last few months, Flynn has successfully outlined significant lithium soil anomalies at its Western Australian lithium projects. The company’s Lake Johnston and Parker Dome projects in the Yilgarn region and Mt Dove project in the Pilbara are all well located near existing lithium deposits or operating mines.

“Flynn will now systematically advance these targets at Lake Johnston with value-adding, low-cost infill and extensional soil sampling and geological mapping.”

Lake Johnston Soil Sampling Program

The results from a soil geochemistry program at the Lake Johnston project have been received and have outlined three substantial lithium soil anomalies, including one large-scale (4km x 1km), high priority, lithium anomaly with supporting associated pathfinder geochemistry (Priority Target 1, Figure 2). Priority Target 1 occurs in an area of shallow transported sheetwash alluvium overlying a thick sequence of high-magnesium and tholeiitic basalts, lithologies considered favourable to host pegmatites.

Flynn’s exploration licences at Lake Johnston were granted in July 2023 and during an initial reconnaissance field trip, three previously unmapped pegmatite outcrops4 were successfully identified on E63/2190. In addition to the Priority Target 1, the soil sampling program has subsequently outlined a 2km long by 400m wide lithium anomaly (Target 2) in the vicinity of the mapped pegmatites (Figure 2).

What Was the Highest Price for Gold?

Gold has long been considered a store of wealth, and the price of gold often makes its biggest gains during turbulent times as investors look for cover in this safe-haven asset.

The 21st century has so far been heavily marked by episodes of economic and sociopolitical upheaval. Uncertainty has pushed the precious metal to record highs as market participants seek its perceived security.

And each time the gold price rises, there are calls for even higher record-breaking levels.

High-Grade Gold Confirmed at Bronzewing South

Initial assays returned for visible gold zone logged in diamond drill core~40m south of the Bronzewing Mining Lease, with drilling continuing

Hammer Metals Ltd (ASX: HMX) (“Hammer” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on recent exploration progress at its 100%-owned Yandal Gold Project in Western Australia. Diamond drilling continues with the first batch of assays now received for the zone of visible gold reported to the ASX on 2 September 2025. Drilling of the diamond tail to drill-hole BWSRCD081 was completed a depth of 561.7m.

The diamond drilling program has continued with two diamond tails completed at the Bronzewing Central Target, located approximately 1.7km to the south of the Eastern Target Zone. A follow-up diamond tail will commence shortly at the Eastern Target, with drilling anticipated to conclude towards the end of September. Results from this program will continue to be submitted to the laboratory in batches, with results anticipated to be received throughout September and into mid-October.
