Eastern Resources (EFE) has identified spodumene in drill samples from its maiden reverse circulation (RC) program at the Trigg Hill project in Western Australia.
The company said a recent mineralogical review of samples from several intercepts confirmed an “abundant” spodumene presence by multiple methods, including logging and XRD scans.
Executive Director Myles Fang said the spodumene confirmation was an “exciting development” for the company.
“We look forward to the assay results from our phase one drill samples,” Mr Fang said.
“In the meantime, our phase two drill program is underway to accelerate exploration at Trigg Hill.”
Though assays for phase one drilling are still pending, Eastern Resources’ phase two drill program has been expanded to approximately 2500 metres.
The Trigg Hill mine is an old tantalum and tin mine operated during the 1960s and early 1980s.
The company intercepted thick pegmatites through its maiden drilling program in the area, which consisted of 32 RC holes for 1972 metres.
Shares in Eastern Resources were up 9.09 per cent and trading at 3.6 cents at 1:03 pm AEDT.
