Eastern Resources (EFE) has intercepted thick pegmatites in its maiden reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at the Trigg Hill project in East Pilbara, Western Australia.

The company drilled 32 generally shallow wide-spaced RC holes for 1972 metres at the East Curlew and Trigg Hill prospects, intersecting pegmatites in 30 out of the 32 holes drilled.

Eastern said it struck multiple thick downhole intervals, with the best results including a single pegmatite interval of 65 metres from surface in a 68-metre hole.

“We are highly encouraged with the discovery of significant wide LCT pegmatites at the Trigg Hill project,” EFE Executive Director Myles Fang said.

“The drill data information collected provides us significant information to progress the
geological and metallurgical characterisation of the pegmatites at the Trigg Hill project.”

The company has now transferred 642 drill samples to a Perth lab for analysis.

Eastern plans to use the results of this drilling to support further drill planning and targeting at Trigg Hill

The project is around 75 kilometres southeast of Pilbara Minerals’ Pilgangoora lithium mine.

Shares in Eastern Resources were up 30 per cent and trading at 3.9 cents at midday AEDT.
