Trek Metals Limited announced that it has received highly encouraging results from an independent evaluation of available stream sediment, rock chip and soil data from its Tambourah Lithium Project in WA which confirms the significant prospectivity of the project to host a greenfields lithium discovery. The evaluation was undertaken by highly regarded geochemist Dr Nigel Brand, with his report based on an evaluation and classification of stream sediment, rock chip and soil data according to their fertility and Lithium (Li) Caesium (Cs) Tantalum (Ta) (LCT) prospectivity. Encouragingly the review has upgraded the prospectivity of the Central Prospect Area due to the apparent fractionation trends defining classic LCT pegmatite zonation within soil data.

These soil samples were selected for geochemical analysis due to the abundance of mapped pegmatites, the anomalous lithium values in stream sediment samples, and the fertility ratios. The review included classification of all rock chips from the Project which show the Central Prospect Area as being dominated by Fertile Pegmatites, a highly fractionated pegmatite that is likely proximal to the lithium-bearing zone of an LCT pegmatite There was one pegmatite rock chip classified as a weathered LCT pegmatite within this zone, adding confidence that the pegmatite swarm in this area is a high-ranking lithium target and should be drill tested.
