Thor Mining plc Provides an Exploration Update on the Lithium Prospectivity at the Ragged Range Project
Project. The Pilbara Craton is highly prospective for lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) enriched
pegmatites and hosts two World Class deposits at Wodgina and Pilgangoora that
formed close to the Split Rock Supersuite (2.85 to 2.83Ma). Prospective LCT ground adjacent to the Split Rock Supersuite has been identified in three areas covering the northern portion of Thor's tenure. The lithium potential on the Ragged Range Project area has not been previously considered. E46/1393 tenement located in the northeast over the Kelly copper-gold workings has now been granted, with this structurally complex region favourable for lithium enriched pegmatites. With E46/1393 granted Thor plans to complete airborne magnetics and radiometrics over the north-eastern portion of the tenement package, with detailed geological mapping, pXRF analysis and rock chip sampling over the lithium targets, to determine pegmatite mineralogy and identify any lithium-caesium-tantalum minerals.
