Shares in Enterprise Metals (ENT) were up as much as 46.4 per cent today after encountering elevated lithium values over the Matheson Pegmatite on the Bingin Peninsula.

The Bingin Peninsula is situated within the Bullfinch North Project which lies in the Southern Cross Greenstone Belt of Western Australia.
