Thick High Grade Lithium Assays Returned From Maiden Morrison Drillhole

Green Technology Metals Limited (ASX: GT1) (GT1 or the Company), a Canadian-focused multi-asset lithium business, is pleased to announce further high-grade lithium assay results returned from its 100%-owned Root Project, located approximately 200km west of the flagship Seymour Project in Ontario, Canada.


HIGHLIGHTS

  • Maiden assays received for the first diamond hole at Morrison, Root:
    • RL-22-0364: 10.6m @ 1.25% Li2O from 54.0m (incl. 8.0m @ 1.62% Li2O from 55.0m)
    • 12 additional holes completed and awaiting assays.
    • Drilling continuing day/night to complete initial 20 hole/2500m programme.
  • Assays received for a further 17 diamond holes at McCombe, Root including:
    • RL-22-0532: 53.2m combined down hole pegmatite intersections, including:
      • 11.7m @ 0.91% Li2O from 90.1m (incl. 9.8m @ 1.05% Li2O from 92.0m)
      • 20.7m @ 1.08% Li2O from 113.0m (incl. 8.0m @ 1.76% Li2O from 113.0m)
      • 20.8m @ 0.83% Li2O from 156.0m (incl. 14.0m @ 1.23% Li2O from 157.0m)
    • RL-22-0387: 9.8m @ 1.30% Li2O from 31.7m
    • RL-22-0499: 7.2m @ 1.31% Li2O from 90.6m (incl. 3.2m @ 2.78% Li2O from 90.6m)
    • RL-22-0501: 8.4m @ 1.23% Li2O from 53.7m (incl. 4.3m @ 1.63% Li2O from 56.3m)
  • Maiden Root Mineral Resource Estimate, on track for Q1 2023
  • Another 16km of strike at the Root Project as yet untested
Drilling at Root was initially focussed on the McCombe LCT pegmatite system, targeting rapid delineation of a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate, exploration has now been expanded to the Morrison prospect, situated 1 km east. An aggressive drill program is actively underway with two drill rigs working day and night shifts at the Root Project.

“Morrison is the second target on the Root Project that hosts multiple lithium bearing pegmatites and it’s great news to receive a near surface 10m wide Spodumene intercept from the very first hole”

- GT1 Chief Executive Officer, Luke Cox

McCombe Deposit (Root Project)

 

The McCombe LCT (Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum) pegmatite is currently the most advanced prospect at the Root Project. Historical drilling completed by previous owners from 1950 to 2016 intersected numerous pegmatites, generally dipping to the south and striking east-west. Drilling by GT1 has now demonstrated McCombe to be a simpler mineralised system consisting of:

 

  • one major pegmatite averaging 10m true thickness (ranging 2m to 19m), striking east-west with shallow dip approximately 30 degrees to the south, open along strike and down dip
  • four pegmatites striking north-east with shallow to moderate dip to the south located in the northeast quadrant, all open along strike and down dip (see figure 2 cross section for geospatial location)
  • all pegmatites appear to be connected and truncate against each other, forming a swarm
  • there are several drill intersections that haven’t been assigned to a pegmatite (wireframe) allowing further potential for additional pegmatite discoveries within the system.

Phase 1 drilling at McCombe has been completed, comprising of twenty-two (22) resource definition diamond holes with assays returned for all holes intersecting thick and continuous high grade spodumene pegmatites from surface. The Phase 1 drilling has delineated, extended, and simplified the historical mineralised pegmatites in all directions, Phase 2 drilling now underway will continue to explore the pegmatites along strike and down dip in the coming weeks for incorporation into the maiden Mineral Resource Estimate.

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.
