Krakatoa Resources Ltd (ASX:KTA) has identified a high-grade trend within a larger lithium pegmatite corridor at the King Tamba Project, some 80 kilometres northwest of Western Australia’s Mount Magnet.
Using a combination of soil geochemical and rock chip samples, KTA has sketched out an area of 1.3 kilometres by 500 metres as a higher-grade zone within a larger 3-kilometre lithium pegmatite corridor.

Drill testing to come
“The multi-element soil results reinforce the prospectivity at King Tamba,” Krakatoa Resources CEO Mark Major said.
“We are now starting to understand the geochemical and mineral nature of the pegmatites systems on show here and look forward to advancing our efforts over the zones of interest and drill testing in the coming month.”
All high-grade lithium rock chip samples previously identified at King Tamba were collected from within this enriched target zone, including the Wilsons Prospect where rock chips returned assays of 4.3% lithium, 1.7% rubidium and 0.5% caesium.
From here, KTS intends to conduct a 1,200-metre drilling program over the high-grade rock chip targets of the Wilsons, Loader and MGM prospect areas, to begin in early November.
