Kingston Resources (ASX:KSN) has intersected promising lithium mineralisation from the first phase of reverse circulation drilling at the Bynoe project in the Northern Territory.
A programme at the Lei prospect intersected lithium mineralisation, with a best result of 12 metres at 1.43% lithium.
Subsequent surveys using Deep Ground Penetrating Radar technology (DGPR) indicate that this pegmatite has a north-easterly strike, and a second large pegmatite may be located 180 metres east.
Follow up drilling is now being planned to continue testing the Lei area.
Further north at the Cai prospect, drill testing beneath a north-south soil anomaly intersected pegmatites, returning assays of up to 0.3% lithium.
These results, as well as high tantalum values of up to 915 ppm tantalum, support the company’s view that Cai remains a prospective area.
Work is already underway to obtain the necessary approvals to recommence drilling at the Bynoe project.
The company is also finalising approvals for a drill programme to test two targets at the Spotted Wonder project within the Arunta region in the Northern Territory.
Kingston holds an attractive portfolio of lithium exploration tenements covering four key project areas.
In Western Australia, the Mt Cattlin and Greenbushes projects are adjacent or near existing lithium mines.
In the Northern Territory, the Bynoe project area is home to some exciting new discoveries and the Arunta project lies within a significant pegmatite field.
