Rooster Talk Episode 66 is with Julian Ford, CEO of Riversgold Ltd (ASX:RGL).
The exploration for lithium is now expanding to all corners of the Australian continent. The obvious places are now covered. The understanding of LCT pegmatites are now a common language.
In today's Rooster Talk, Julian Ford updates us on the mineralisation at Tambourah and discusses what the results mean for Riversgold and where management is taking the company.
There are some great notes on the LCT pegmatite science and the methods that are being employed by Riversgold in their search for discovery. The geological understanding of where more pegmatites can be found now lies in understanding the geological science that produces these geological bodies.
Take some time, listen to the episode and use the information as part of your DYOR process.

About Riversgold
Riversgold Ltd (ASX:RGL) is an ASX-listed exploration company focused on discovering and developing large lithium systems in the world-renowned Pilbara and Yilgarn cratons of Western Australia.
In early 2022, the company acquired a suite of four lithium-prospective exploration tenement applications covering 164 square kilometres in the Pilbara region. The key Tambourah Project is underexplored and has the potential to host a major lithium-caesium-tantalum system much like the nearby Pilgangoora and Wodgina deposits.
Further, the company has acquired a tenement package of 292 square kilometres prospective for lithium in the Southern Cross-Marvel Loch region of Western Australia as well as securing an option to acquire 80% of tenement E77/2784 immediately to the east of the globally significant Mt Holland lithium project in the same region.
The Riversgold portfolio also offers strong exposure to gold and nickel through its large landholding at the Kurnalpi Project in the Yilgarn.
