Marquee Resources (MQR) has identified a 2.4-kilometre-long geochemical anomaly at the West Spargoville Project.

West Spargoville lies 20 kilometres southwest of Kambalda at the northern end of the Widgiemooltha Greenstone Belt in Western Australia.

Following recent drilling work and a geological review of the project, Marquee recognised the potential to identify lithium-bearing lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatites.

The anomaly is associated with a northwest-trending structural zone in an ideal location from a mineralised perspective.

Marquee has received results from the first batch of assays from a 3146-hole auger geochemistry program and all samples have been sent to the laboratory for analysis.

Final results are expected early next year and once received, Marquee will test high-prioirty targets in the first quarter of 2022.

Executive Chairman Charles Thomas is excited to have received the first batch of assay results.

“It’s exciting to get the first batch of samples back from the lab and identify a previously unrecognised soil anomaly,” Mr Thomas said.

“Particularly given the anomaly is associated with a prominent structural zone that can be tracked to the southeast and was identified in an area covered by transported clays and soils.

“As more results continue to come to light, our understanding of the project grows and the company is perfectly positioned to drill test some exciting targets early in the new year.”

Shares in Marquee were steady on the market and were trading at 11.5 cents each at 11:38 am AEDT.
