Charger Metals (ASX:CHR) has signed a drilling contract to conduct a 3,000m diamond and reverse circulation drilling program at the Xmas gold discovery, Medcalf lithium deposit, and Medcalf West target within the Lake Johnston Project.
Drilling will begin this month at the Western Australian-based project, testing extensions of the Medcalf Spodumene Deposit further down plunge and down dip and following up on the Xmas gold discovery.
CEO Bryan Dixon says the company is excited about the next phase of drilling to come at Lake Johnston.
“We now have drilling approvals in place and a drill rig is expected to mobilise shortly to follow up on our virgin gold discovery hole at the Xmas gold discovery, where we intercepted 12m @ 6.55 grams per tonne gold from 132m and 8m @ 1.57g/t gold only 4m further downhole,” Dixon says.
“The Xmas gold discovery has over 2,000m of trend that has not been drill tested previously.
“Charger’s Lake Johnston Project has several highly prospective gold targets including the Richard gold prospect with significant gold drill intercepts including intercepts of 5m @ 7.15g/t gold from 24m and 8m @ 0.86g/t gold from 60m.”
Charger Metals is an exploration company targeting battery metals and precious metals in three emerging battery minerals provinces in Australia.
