Tambourah Metals (TMB) has been granted the E46/1409 (Bonney) and E46/1410 (Noreena) tenements at its Russian Jack project by the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety

The tenements are located 40 kilometres south of Nullagine and span an area of more than 230 square kilometres, which is regarded as prospective for lithium.

The company has commenced a data review of historic geochemical sampling with reported anomalous values of up to 72 parts per million (ppm) and 42ppm of Rubinum (Rb) at Bonney South.

Tambourah has executed an Aboriginal Heritage Agreement (AHA) with the Palyku group, allowing for exploration activities to commence.

There is limited historic sampling data, and no records show drilling has occurred within this large project area. Tambourah proposes to commence follow up of historic stream sediment samples with elevated lithium results at the Bonney Prospect.

Tambourah Executive Chairperson Rita Brooks stated that there are plans “to commence on ground exploration activities are e in progress aimed to identify additional pegmatite hosted targets across [the company’s] extensive portfolio”.

The planned regional work program will focus on generating priority targets with mapping, soil and rock chip sampling. Hyperspectral data is currently being compiled for this underexplored area of the East Pilbara.

Tambourah said that the ongoing review highlights the prospectivity for pegmatite hosted mineralisation such as lithium, tin and tantalum.

TMB shares were up 4.88 per cent, trading at 21.5 cents as of 12:40 pm AEDT.
