Stelar Metals Ltd (ASX:SLB) is progressing a range of exploration activities at its Trident Lithium Project in preparation for its inaugural drilling program scheduled to be completed this quarter.

During the program, the company’s research collaboration with SensOre has identified new areas of high lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) prospectivity with the help of AI and machine learning tools.

Meanwhile, Stelar has engaged expert structural geologists from PGN Geoscience (PGNG) to define the structural controls on the orientation and morphology of the lithium-bearing pegmatites in the Euriowie Pegmatite Field.

Later this month, AeroMetrex will fly high-resolution ortho-imagery and LiDAR over the entire Euriowie pegmatite Field.

Moving forward, Stelar anticipates drilling approvals will be granted in the coming weeks and is on track to complete its inaugural drill program this quarter.

Trident lithium project

The Trident Lithium Project extends over the 20-kilometre strike length of the Euriowie Tin Pegmatite Field and is highly prospective for hard-rock lithium mineralisation.

Mapped LCT-type pegmatites vary in size but can be up to 100 metres wide and extend in outcrop for over 1 kilometre in length.

Trident was one of the first lithium and tin mining provinces in Australia, which highlights both the fertility and large scale of Stelar’s lithium-rich pegmatite system.

Forward plan

PGNG is currently mapping with Stelar’s geologists the pegmatites that will be tested in the inaugural drill program as well as defining in more detail the large new pegmatite systems recently discovered nearby by Stelar Metals in August at Typhoon and Carnival (NYSE:CCL).

Meanwhile, AeroMetrex will collect high-resolution ortho-imagery and LiDAR over the Euriowie Pegmatite Field to assist in pegmatite mapping and drilling logistics this month.

A range of ongoing exploration programs are being coordinated to build a series of strong hard-rock lithium pegmatite targets for subsequent drill programs.
