Critical minerals explorer Firering Strategic Minerals has appointed Canada-headquartered FTE Drilling to conduct a 3 000 m reverse circulation (RC) drill programme on its lithium and tantalum assets, in Côte d'Ivoire, from mid-January.

The 18-hole drill programme will be conducted in conjunction with Firering’s joint venture partner Ricca Resources.

The company estimates that drilling will be completed during February and that assay results will be available towards the end of the first quarter next year.

All RC holes will be logged and sampled at 1 m intervals with all fresh pegmatite samples sent to Intertek Laboratories in Côte d'Ivoire, for sample preparation, after which the prepared samples will be sent to Intertek Laboratories, in Australia, for assaying.

The drilling is planned to intersect fresh pegmatite beneath the weathered pegmatite identified during Part 1 of the auger drilling campaign and to test the potential lithium mineralisation of the pegmatites.
