Flynn Gold Ltd (ASX:FG1) is poised to kick off on-ground lithium exploration activities at its Lake Johnston Lithium Project in Western Australia.
The company's exploration strategy encompasses an extensive mapping and sampling program, targeting high-priority areas in anticipation of drilling operations in this emerging lithium district.
With this approach, the company will target the recently identified pegmatites across a 5-kilometre corridor within the Lake Johnston Project.
Prospective neighbours
Lake Johnston is to the east of and adjacent to TG Metals ground, just seven kilometres southeast of its recent Burmeister lithium discovery.
The project is also 3.5 kilometres southeast of and adjacent to Charger Metals' Mt Gordon Prospect, where multiple lithium soil anomalies have been identified
Flynn managing director and CEO Neil Marston said: “TG Metals’ discovery of high-grade lithium in pegmatites at the nearby Burmeister Project highlights the prospectivity of the Lake Johnston region.
“This exciting discovery is particularly significant because a recent reconnaissance program completed by Flynn identified three previously unmapped pegmatites on our adjoining licence.
“Charger Metals’ announcement of significant lithium soil anomalies at its Mount Gordon Prospect, which is adjacent to and northwest of our ground further reinforces the lithium potential of the Lake Johnston region."

Fast track exploration
In the coming days, Flynn will deploy a geological team to the Lake Johnston Project to undertake a geological mapping and orientation soil sampling program, prior to a more extensive soil sampling program aimed at identifying targets for drill testing.
Exploration will initially target a 5-kilometre zone along strike, to the north and south of pegmatites delineated on E63/2190
Marston adds: "Flynn intends to fast-track its exploration efforts at this high-priority project.
“Over the coming days, we will deploy an exploration team to undertake mapping and soil sampling over a highly prospective 5-kilometre-long corridor over the mapped pegmatites to assist with target generation for follow-up drill hole planning.
“These exploration activities will be followed by similar activities across the company’s broader exploration tenure at Lake Johnston and Forrestania.”
Further ahead
Initial aircore and RC drilling programs will be undertaken subject to the results of the early-stage assessment programs.
In the meantime, further interpretation of multi-client aeromagnetic and gravity data will be undertaken to assist with interpretation of the geology and the identification of additional target zones.
Furthermore, a detailed gravity survey may also be considered to assist with targeting and interpretative work.
