TG Metals puts Burmeister on the fast track

TG Metals (ASX:TG6) has delivered its maiden lithium resource at Burmeister, giving the company a clearer path towards a potential direct shipping ore (DSO) operation at the Lake Johnston Project in Western Australia.

CEO David Selfe says the resource comes in at 6.7 million tonnes at 1.2% lithium oxide, with a larger exploration target still to be tested and converted over time.

  • Maiden milestone: First lithium resource defined at Burmeister
  • DSO focus: TG Metals is assessing a direct shipping pathway
  • Location matters: The Port of Esperance and operating lithium concentrators are within reach
  • Clean product: Spodumene dominates the lithium mineralogy
  • Next move: Diamond drilling will provide samples for potential buyers and offtakers

The resource is in.

Now TG Metals wants to see who wants the rock.

About the guest and company:
David Selfe is the CEO of TG Metals, an ASX-listed exploration and development company focused on lithium and gold in Western Australia. Its flagship Lake Johnston Project hosts the Burmeister lithium deposit, while the Van Uden Project provides a parallel gold development opportunity.

🎥 Watch the full interview to see how TG Metals plans to move Burmeister from resource to potential production.
