Minerals 260 (MI6) has confirmed that initial soil sampling assays have shown significant lithium potential at its Aston project in Western Australia.
Key findings from the sampling program revealed the presence of strong lithium anomalism at greater than 100 parts per million lithium oxide.
Notably, two large lithium anomalies were defined, a substantial 5.2 by 0.2-kilometre anomaly along the Jamesons-Malinda trend and a sizeable three by 1.9-kilometre anomaly north of the historic Nardoo Well mining centre.
The average lithium content within these anomalies is approximately 125ppm lithium oxide, with a maximum value of 232ppm lithium oxide, further underscoring the potential of the Aston project.
Both lithium anomalies show an exciting correlation with specific host rock formations.
The Jamesons-Malinda lithium anomaly aligns with the southern margin of the Leake Spring Metamorphics, which also hosts Delta Lithium’s Malinda and Jamesons prospects.
Similarly, the Nardoo Well mining centre anomaly is located within the Thirty-Three Supersuite granites, known for their past mining of tantalum, niobium, beryl, and mica.
Minerals 260 was down 4.17 per cent, trading at 69 cents at 1:14 pm AEST.
