Hard Rock Lithium Pilbara, Western Australia
01 Early-stage exploration
Focused on lithium-bearing pegmatites
The Turner River Lithium Project is focused on lithium-bearing pegmatites, particularly lepidolite and spodumene mineralisation. Initial rock chip sampling returned high-grade lithium results, including:
- Up to 4.90% Li₂O in lepidolite samples
- Additional samples with 1.6% and 1.1% Li₂O at the Carbonate Hill prospect (E45/6042)
- Further samples up to 3.8% Li₂O and 1.3% Rb₂O (Sept 2023)
- Two RC drilling programs (22 holes, 2,296m) conducted in Dec 2022 and Feb/March 2023 confirmed a lithium mineralisation halo with spodumene and lepidolite. Key drill results include:
- 1m @ 0.38% Li₂O from 4m depth (within 3m @ 0.26% Li₂O)
- 4m @ 1,693 ppm TREO from 18m, including 1m @ 369 ppm Nd₂O₃
Location:
Pilbara, Western Australia
(15 km southeast of Mineral Resources’ Wodgina Lithium Mine)
Commodity:
Lithium
Project Size:
Over 350 km² across four project areas
Licences:
Turner River: E45/6042 & E45/6065
Split Rock: E46/1367
Yule River: E45/6159
Status:
Early-stage exploration with completed rock chip sampling and two RC drilling programs.
02 Historical Exploration:
Confirmed lithium mineralisation.
Rock chip sampling and drilling confirmed lithium mineralisation at surface and shallow depths. Airborne geophysics (magnetics, radiometrics) completed in late 2023.
03 Project Strategy
Prioritising drill targets.
Trenching, sampling, and geophysical interpretation to define extensions under shallow cover.
