Among the highlights were three holes that contained multiple intersections, including 3.57 metres at 1.61% lithium oxide (Li2O), 5.27metres at 1.45% Li2O.
Assay results are still pending from a significant number of holes from the current drilling programme.
These initial assay results confirm the high-grade and tonnage potential of both the Main Zone as well as the recently discovered New Zone,” said chief executive George Roach.
