  • Tungsten-lithium-tantalum exploration project
  • Granted exploration licence (E57/1017) of 9 sq km held 100% by Meridian 120. Licence valid to 2025
  • 80 km south east of Mount Magnet
  • High grade tungsten (scheelite) mineralisation is scattered along a 1600 metre length of an epidote-altered structural zone within a layered mafic intrusion
  • One mineralised shoot is at least 80 m long and up to 4 m wide, with selected rock assays up to 16.5% tungsten oxide
  • Another is 70 m long and up to 20 m wide with composite rock chip values up to 2.3% tungsten oxide
  • The licence also contains a swarm of highly fractionated pegmatite dykes
  • Pegmatite composite rock chip samples show lithium values up to 2.1% Li2O and have highly anomalous values of tin, tantalum (to 258 ppm Ta) and rubidium (to 1.4% Rb).
  • Lepidolite is present. Other lithium minerals (petalite?) may also occur
  • The project is now sold.
