Forrestania Resources Ltd (ASX:FRS) is gearing up for a maiden drilling program at the highly prospective Breakaway Dam Lithium and Copper Project in Western Australia’s Eastern Goldfields.
With an Aboriginal heritage survey in hand – completed with the help of the Nyalpa Pirniku Native Title Group – FRS will now plan an exploration drilling program, targeting zones that produced rock chips up to 0.4% lithium and 26.7% copper within the project area.
Drilling planned for early 2024
“We are pleased to have concluded a heritage survey and thank the Nyalpa Pirniku representatives for their assistance in completing the survey,” Forrestania Resources chair John Hannaford said.
“This now clears the way for preparations for the company’s first drill campaign on this highly prospective area.
“This will be the first lithium-focused drilling in the Breakaway Dam area where a 20-kilometre monzogranite/granite/greenstone contact has the potential for significant lithium bearing pegmatites.
“Our extensive ground position in this area and the lack of previously targeted lithium exploration, underline the potential significance of a future discovery.
“Our team’s ongoing review of previous exploration data and results continues to enhance prospectivity and assist with planning the drill program, currently planned for early in 2024.”
FRS considers its sixteen Eastern Goldfield tenements to be highly prospective for large scale, multi-commodity discoveries, including lithium, copper, rare earth elements and gold.
