Maximus Resources Ltd (ASX:MXR) has undertaken a data review of historic work that highlights the lithium potential of the Lefroy prospect contained within its wholly-owned Spargoville gold tenements, south west of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.
The Spargoville Lithium Project lies in the vicinity of two major Lithium projects- Neometals Ltd’s (ASX:NMT) Mt Marion Lithium project and Lithium Australia NL’s (ASX:LIT) Lepiodolite Hill project.
As reported to the ASX in February 2016, the Lefroy prospect lies along strike and 4 kilometres south of several historic tantalum, niobium and lithium workings within pegmatites.
Maximus also completed a preliminary reconnaissance rock chip sampling program at the Landor prospect yielding up to 0.09% Li2O.
The Lefroy and Landor prospects appear to be situated within a similar structural setting to that hosting the Mt Marion lithium project.
Maximus is encouraged by the initial results and will now conduct a follow-up program of detailed surface sampling at the Landor and Lefroy prospects. The company is currently advancing plans for a maiden drilling program.
The share price has kicked in April.
