Riversgold Ltd (ASX:RGL) has completed a heritage survey and received approval for its maiden drilling at Bengal and Lion/Ragdoll prospects at the 100%-owned Tambourah Lithium Project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
The heritage survey was completed over the majority of the 40 lithium-bearing pegmatites covering a combined 2.7 kilometres of interpreted lithium-bearing pegmatites at Tambourah.
Approval has also been received from DMIRS for two Programs of Work (PoWs) covering drilling on Tambourah’s prospects where rock chip samples graded up to 3.14% Li2O.
Ready to mobilise
“We are now in a position to commence drill site preparation and mobilise the drill rigs to site at Tambourah,” RGL chief executive officer Julian Ford said.
“The drill program planned for this quarter will test the grade, width and extent of the LCT lithium mineralisation over the cumulative 2 to 3 kilometres of strike length.
"There are still a number of months of the drilling window left this year and we anticipate a substantial amount of drilling can be completed on this exciting LCT project.”
It was just over a month ago that RGL increased the number of interpreted lithium-bearing pegmatites from 12 to 40 at Tambourah, doubling the prospective strike of the project from 1.3 kilometres to 2.7 kilometres in total length.
