“We are extremely pleased to see a persistence in the tenor of the mineralisation over the entire length of the pegmatite zone identified to date,” GRE Executive Director Thomas Reddicliffe said.

“GreenTech has a strong foothold in one of WA’s exploration hotspots and with high-quality lithium and copper projects in its portfolio.”

A total of 65 samples have been assayed from the site to date.
