Wolfsberg Lithium Project
European Lithium continues to focus on its flagship Wolfsberg Lithium Project in Austria, where it recently increased its JORC lithium resource estimate by 50%.
As a result of the recent successful deep drilling program, the resource now stands at 10.98 million tonnes grading 1.00% lithium oxide.
The current resource, which is located in Zone 1 has potential to be further increased by drilling at depth and along strike.
Furthermore, results from initial drilling in Zone 2 show wide high grade intersections, which confirm the potential of this area to mirror the resources of Zone 1.
The current Measured and Indicated resource will form the base data for the upcoming prefeasibility study (PFS).
Further drilling will be needed to upgrade the Inferred resource category to at least Indicated before it can be used in the PFS.
However, it shows the potential for production capacity increase and mine life extension, which in turn can add value to the project.
