Flynn Gold Ltd (ASX:FG1) has defined lithium prospectivity at the Mt Dove Lithium-Gold Project in Western Australia, identifying seven priority zones of lithium anomalism confirmed with infill soil sampling.
The anomalies appear to be coherent bodies, stretching up to 3,100 metres in length within shallow sand-covered areas in the eastern section of the tenure.
At the highest priority lithium zone, Flynn has also identified outcropping pegmatites with high rubidium levels up to 0.14%.
"Exciting lithium potential"
“The Mt Dove infill soil sampling program has confirmed seven broad areas of lithium and associated pathfinder element anomalism, highlighting the exciting lithium potential of the project," Flynn Gold managing director and CEO Neil Marston said.
“Flynn has recently commenced an accelerated work program on its Mt Dove, Lake Johnston and Forrestania lithium projects in Western Australia.
“The projects are located close to world-class lithium deposits and some exciting new discoveries including the Tabba Tabba and Pippingarra projects in the Pilbara and the Burmeister, Jaegermeister and Mt Gordon prospects in the Lake Johnston region.
“The aim of our fieldwork has been to identify pegmatite bodies across our tenements from mapping, sampling and target generation for drill testing.
"We look forward to providing updates to shareholders on our exploration progress including the plans for our first drill program.”
Mt Dove also sits near several world-class mines, including the Pilgangoora (ore reserves of 4.75 million tonnes of lithium) and Wodgina (production capacity of 750,000 tonnes spodumene concentrate per year) lithium mines and Hemi gold deposit (mineral estimate of 9.5 million ounces gold).
Flynn intends to complete a first-pass aircore drilling program at Mt Dove once planning and permitting can be completed, targeting the high-priority lithium zones.
