Yari Minerals (YAR) has re-commenced exploration activities at its South Wodgina lithium exploration projects in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

The company has kicked off a collection of worldview-three high-resolution satellite imagery and has approved an aeromagnetic and radiometric survey to start this quarter.

The Worldview-3 imagery will give a high-resolution ground cover and lithological information useful in geological mapping and the identification of alteration associated with pegmatitic mineralisation.

The aeromagnetic and radiometric survey will see a fixed-wing aircraft to be flown on 50-metre spaced lines at an altitude of 40 metres.

“The first stage of exploration at South Wodgina is to complete detailed high-resolution worldview-three and the aeromagnetic and radiometric survey to rapidly identify pegmatites in advance of commencing on ground soil and geochemical sampling to define and develop a drilling program,” YAR Managing Director Anthony Italiano said.

The aeromagnetic and radiometric surveys are said to provide valuable information for YAR to define additional structures hosting pegmatites.

The company requires mining access permits to be granted under the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act (ACHA) 2021 to commence the on-ground soil and geochemical program at South Wodgina.

Yari shares last traded at 1.5 cents.
