Trigg Mining (TMG) has completed the helicopter-supported shallow rotary drilling program at its Lake Throssell Sulphate of Potash Project ahead of schedule.

Lake Throssell lies approximately 170 kilometres east of Laverton in Western Australia and covers an area of 868 square kilometres.

This rotary drilling forms the first phase of a thorough exploration program that is aiming to target a maiden JORC resource.

This recently completed program was designed to target near-surface brine mineralisation to depths preferable for potential trench-based extraction methods.

The majority of the 26 completed holes encountered brine endowment with increased gypsum (sulphate mineral comprising of calcium sulphate) content and silty sand (sand mixture with coarse and fine grains).

Gypsum is known to have high absorbency and the potential to contain significant brine volumes with good flow rates.

Additionally, an in-fill gravity survey has been completed and data processing is currently underway.

Results from this will allow Trigg to locate and refine drilling targets for an aircore drilling program that is scheduled to begin in the current quarter.

Trigg is currently steady on the market and shares are trading for 9.3 cents each at 11:51 am AEDT.
