Lithium assay results from RAS’s NT projects
Our exploration Investment Ragusa Minerals (ASX: RAS) just released assay results from its most recent round of drilling at its Northern Territory lithium projects.
RAS's project sits in the same region as $1.8Bn Core Lithium's Mount Finnis lithium project.
RAS’s most recent drill program was targeting a set of outcropping pegmatites where historic drilling had hit lithium grades of 0.37%.
Today, RAS announced the assay results across the two targets with the best result being a 10m long intercept with lithium grades of 0.32%.
The highest lithium grades from the drill program were ~0.7%.
At a high level, the assays werent strong enough for RAS to declare a new major discovery but they are a positive sign that RAS’s project hosts lithium bearing pegmatites worthy of drill testing.
On that front, RAS is already planning its next stage of drilling:
What’s next for RAS?
RAS is planning a drill program for later this year.
The drill program will have ~17 RC drillholes and two diamond drillholes across five different prospects.
