LNR sampling for lithium next to one of Australia’s biggest mine
Our exploration Investment, Lanthanein Resources (ASX: LNR), just kicked off a soil sampling program across its Lady Grey lithium project in WA.
LNR’s project sits ~400m to the west of the Early Grey deposit (Mt Holland) lithium project owned by Wesfarmers and SQM which Wesfarmers purchased in a $776M deal back in 2019.
Wesfarmers are currently developing the project and expect first production next year.
Today, LNR kicked off a soil sampling program over its entire project
LNR will be collecting over 1,400 samples and expects the prgoram to take ~2 weeks to complete.
The purpose of the program is to generate drill targets that LNR can drill in the coming months.
LNR already has a drill program approved for 50 RC holes and ~193 AC holes.
