Zenith Minerals has announced it has begun drilling to test a large-scale lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatite target at the Waratah Well joint venture project in Western Australia.

According to the ASX Announcement, the drilling program will target conceptual deeper lithium (spodumene) bearing pegmatites below the surface tantalum-lithium rich pegmatite dyke swarm, akin to zonation observed in other lithium deposits in Western Australia.

The company plans to complete a total of 7 initial wide-spaced (1km spacing), 200m deep RC drill holes over a 2-week period with assay results anticipated 8 weeks thereafter.

Waratah Well is the first target to be subjected to a drilling program under the recently announced ZNC-EVM lithium joint venture.

“Following on from the announcement of a new partnership with the EVM Group to build a lithium business, I am pleased to advise that we have commenced the initial phase of our joint assessment work on the Waratah Well pegmatite field,” said CEO Mick Clifford.

“The first phase drill program will target lithium (spodumene) bearing pegmatites beneath the widespread, surface tantalum-lithium rich pegmatite dyke swarm, akin to zonation observed in other lithium deposits in Western Australia.”
