Torque Metals Ltd (ASX:TOR) MD Cristian Moreno tells Proactive the company is eagerly awaiting the results of an inaugural diamond drilling campaign at the New Dawn Lithium Project in the Goldfields of Western Australia, where the company has been testing known pegmatite bodies for spodumene (hard rock lithium) and tantalum. TOR has already doubled down on the project area, acquiring three new tenements nearby – two adjacent to the Paris Gold Project and one with lithium potential along strike from the existing New Dawn Project. The company believes the latter tenement is prospective for lithium-caesium-tantalum or LCT pegmatites, the source of some 44% of all hard rock lithium minerals.
