By GlobalDataThe initial programme at the Falcon West project will focus on mapping and sampling the extent and orientation of the known lithium-caesium-tantalum pegmatites.
In a press statement, Volta Metals said: “Documented Li pegmatites, based on historic data, occur over a 150m x 600m area, and mineralisation remains open for expansion. The company considers the property to be underexplored with good-to-excellent potential to expand and/or discover additional lithium-enriched pegmatites.”
Volta Metals is planning to undertake the initial mapping, prospecting and sampling at the 32km² Crescent Lake Property.
The project covers the potential northward extension of the Crescent and Zig Zag pegmatites.
Located 1.5km east of the lithium-bearing Swole Lake pegmatite boulder field, the 38km² Junior Lake property covers a portion of the evolved Summit Lake batholith.
