Premier upbeat about drilling results at Zimbabwe lithium project
JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Aim-listed Premier African Minerals has received encouraging results from its 2 500 m drilling programme at the Zulu lithium project, in Zimbabwe.
The first diamond core hole intersected 9.5 m of visual spodumene petalite lithium mineralisation, from a down hole depth of 10.5 m.
CEO George Roach noted that the intersection of visible hard rock lithium mineralisation was “most encouraging”.
Core would now be transported to Premier’s in-house sample preparation facilities for logging, splitting and sample preparation and then sent to SGS South Africa for multi-element analysis.
“This is a positive early validation of our geological modelling and I look forward to reporting the lithium assays as soon as they become available,” Roach added.
Premier is drilling a series of 20 diamond drill holes designed to test for strike and depth extensions at Zulu, which currently has a strike length of 3.5 km. In addition, the drilling programme is designed to establish a maiden resource.
