MetalsGrove Mining Limited announced that a pre-drilling detailed surface mapping program is underway at the Company's Upper Coondina Lithium Project in Western Australia. Upper Coondina Project: With Upper Coondina never been explored for lithium, the pegmatites at Upper Coondina may be part of the same system that hosts the major lithium discovery announced by Global Lithium at its Archer Project to the north east of the ground, which further underpins the lithium perspectivity of the Project. Surface mapping and soil sampling is to help define drill targets for the upcoming drilling programme.

Highlights: Pre-drilling detailed surface mapping is underway at the Company's lithium project covering approximately 50% of the project area. Surface sampling program is complete with ~2500 samples dispatched to laboratory and results pending. A 590-line kilometre helicopter borne magnetic and radiometric survey will commence this month to assist target generation.

Upper Coondina is highly prospective for lithium-tin-tantalum and is located in the Pilbara Tier-1 lithium mineral field. Drilling is planned following completion of the heritage survey, the airborne magnetic and radiometric survey and surface mapping.
