Voltaic Strategic Resources (ASX:VSR) has begun exploration activities with a maiden drilling campaign at the Andrada prospect, within the Ti Tree Project in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia.
The company reports the aim of the drill campaign is to expedite Volatic’s understanding of the project’s geology and vector towards prime lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) targets in subsequent campaigns.
Additionally, the resulting data will be used to understand the continuity, geochemistry, and structural orientation of the LCT pegmatites within the project, along with potentially unlocking several more prospective targets across Ti Tree’s extensive 212km-square tenement package.
Commenting on the exploration activities, Voltaic Strategic Resources Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Michael Walshe says: “This lithium focused drill campaign is geared towards a two-fold objective: deepening our understanding of the geology at Ti Tree, and identifying our next level of targets.
“We have a substantial amount of pegmatite outcrop across the project and are using the drill bits as the most effective exploration tool to further unlock the regional geological puzzle as we vector towards a discovery”
We have a substantial amount of pegmatite outcrop across the project and are using the drill bits as the most effective exploration tool to further unlock the regional geological puzzle as we vector towards a discovery.
With several hundred pegmatites identified to date and over 200km-square of highly prospective ground to explore, it is imperative to understand the structural controls, host rock setting and zonation features that are unique to the regional pegmatites at Ti Tree.”
Additionally, the company reports it will be conducting several surveys including airborne magnetics / radiometrics, photogrammetry, and gravity, which is expected to ‘significantly’ increase the number of drill targets at the project.
Voltaic Strategic Resources is an ASX-listed company with a strategically located critical metals portfolio led by lithium, rare earths, base metals, and gold across 2 of the world’s most established mining jurisdictions, which are Western Australia and Nevada, US.
