Cazaly Resources (ASX:CAZ) has kicked off a 1,200m reverse circulation drilling campaign at the Ohevanga lithium prospect, part of the Kaoko Lithium Project in northern Namibia.
The drilling campaign serves as the initial test for a larger staged drilling campaign, which will target subsurface lithium mineralisation across the lithium geochemical anomaly.
Cazaly Resources, which has a market capitalisation of $6.45 million, says the lithium target at Ohevanga measures 120km2, and was originally uncovered in broad 1km spaced surface samples.
Infill surface sampling confirmed the continuity of anomalous lithium mineralisation — more than 110 parts per million — and is currently interpreted to be stratiform in nature.
The company adds the continuity of lithium anomalism between the original 1km surface samples is a strong indication that elevated lithium will be contiguous within the sedimentary units across the entire 12km strike length of the initially defined anomaly.
After renewing the environmental clearance certification for exploration licence EPL6667 during the June quarter, field preparations began to accommodate drilling activities.
The company employed a team of local workers to conduct line clearing and site preparation activities and will continue to provide support during the drilling campaign.
The Kaoko Project lies 800km by road from the capital of Windhoek and 750km from the port of Walvis Bay.
Cazaly Resources is a mineral explorer focused on its diverse portfolio of critical mineral projects providing essential resources for the future. The company’s projects lie in Canada, Namibia, and Australia.
