EV Resources (EVR) is releasing the results from a sampling program it undertook at the Shaw River Project as part of due diligence.
The company, formerly known as Jadar Resources, acquired the Shaw River Exploration Licence earlier this year.
The licence covers 22 sub-blocks or 70 square kilometres of land in WA’s Pilbara region, including several areas of historical tin-tantalum workings.
EVR carried out initial sampling at the site and noted a number of pegmatite outcrops were observed.
Additionally, 31 samples were collected from predominantly outcropping pegmatite, with four stream sediment and one float sample collected.
Two samples returned maximum lithium values of 212 parts per million, confirming EVR’s belief the project could hold significant lithium-tantalum mineralisation.
EVR’s sampling was only carried out in a small area within the project, roughly 20 per cent of the wider landholding, with further work to now be undertaken.
The company plans to undertake geological mapping and systematic channel sampling across pegmatite outcrop, particularly in the Hillside and Upper Five Mile Creek areas.
Following today’s update, EVR shares were down 3.64 per cent at 5.3 cents each at 11:48 am AEDT.
