Flynn Gold Ltd (ASX:FG1) has returned to exploration licence E45/5055 at its 100%-owned Mt Dove Project in Western Australia’s Pilbara region to follow-up on lithium and gold anomalies identified last year.
An infill surface sampling program has commenced on the anomalies identified during an ultra-fine fraction (UFF) soil sampling in 2022, a first at Mt Dove, trialled for its ability to “see through” shallow cover.
The latest sampling program aims to infill the original sample spacing at 500 selected sites to increase confidence in the continuity of the anomalies and geochemical trends.
Defining drill targets
Apart from lithium anomalies, the 2022 UFF soil program also delineated niobium, beryllium, caesium, rubidium and tin towards the east-northeast margin of the survey.
The Mt Dove Project is about 25 kilometres north-northwest of the Wodgina Lithium Mine, 34 kilometres west-northwest of the Pilgangoora Lithium Mine and 12 kilometres southeast of the Hemi gold deposit.
Meanwhile, the gold results from the 2022 UFF program outlined a number of low-level discrete gold anomalies, which appear to be associated with regional structures or discrete intrusive bodies, similar to the intrusion-related style gold system of the Hemi deposit.

Speeding up exploration
“Flynn has recommenced exploration at its Mt Dove Lithium-Gold Project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia,” Flynn Gold managing director and chief executive officer Neil Marston said.
“This infill soil program should significantly refine our broad soil anomalies and focus our follow-up lithium and gold exploration effort in the area.
“Flynn intends to accelerate its lithium and gold exploration on its well-located and under-explored projects in Western Australia over the coming months.
“The start of lithium-focused fieldwork in the Pilbara follows on from the recent grant of exploration licences and identification of pegmatites at the company’s other lithium-focused projects at Lake Johnston and Forrestania.”
