- Galan Lithium (GLN) kicks off its first round of drilling at its Greenbushes South lithium project in WA following successful soil sampling and ground geophysics
- The project lies just three kilometres south of the Greenbushes lithium mine
- The company says its sampling work highlighted multiple minerals associated with lithium-bearing pegmatites near the surface of the project
- GLN says these results, alongside the area’s proximity to the Greenbushes mine and the mineralising Donny-Brook Bridgetown Shear Zone, are “encouraging”
- GLN shares are trading at $1.17 at 11:37 am AEDT
Galan Lithium (GLN) has commenced maiden drilling at its Greenbushes South lithium project in Western Australia.
The project lies just three kilometres south of the Greenbushes lithium mine, and GLN plans to test its drilling targets in the area through a 2500-metre program.
The drilling work follows soil sampling and ground geophysics in the area that Galan said highlighted multiple minerals associated with lithium-bearing pegmatites near the surface of the project.
GLN said that these results, paired with the project’s proximity to the Greenbushes lithium mine and the mineralising Donny-Brook Bridgetown Shear Zone, were “very encouraging”.
Further geological mapping, soil sampling and geophysical investigations are being used to determine drill targets within the Greenbush tenement.
In March 2022, pegmatite targets were established using airborne geophysics.
GLN is continuing to apply these surveying methods to other tenements in the region.
The Greenbushes south project covers 317 square kilometres and lies approximately 250 kilometres south of Perth, WA.
GLN shares were trading at $1.17 at 11:37 am AEDT.
