About Dundas
The Dundas Project area is situated near Norseman in Western Australia and comprises eight tenements totalling 454 square kilometres.
Historically, Norseman and the Dundas area have experienced mining in gold and nickel although the region has become an emerging lithium and critical minerals province in recent years, with multiple discoveries and significant exploration activity.
Lightning’s recent lithium expertise supports its exploration strategy for critical minerals in the Dundas region.
An exploration program is ongoing across the Dundas project, with soil sampling as well as geophysics interpretation underway.
