400m wiiiiiiiiiiiide!!
Extra pegmatites 10km in length!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOW!
Booooooooooom!!!
The Manono pegmatite extends for a strike length of at least 13kms, with potential extensions to south west and north east of up to an additional 10kms. Individual pegmatites in areas are up to 400 metres in width, with an average width being approximately 250 metres. Pegmatites extend to at least 240 metres depth. o Surface sampling and trenching of the Manono pegmatite over a strike length of some 5,000 metres mainly within the Kitotolo mine area has confirmed presence of lithium, tin and tantalum mineralisation. Moderate to highly weathered material has reported grades of up to 1.22% Li2O. o Visible spodumene (up to 60% of the rock volume in limited areas but usually between 5% and 25% of the rock volume) and minor cassiterite (tin) and coltan (tantalum) have been recorded in diamond drill core and in outcrop mapping. o The Manono Project has the potential to host one of the world’s largest lithium rich LCT (Lithium Caesium Tantalum) pegmatite deposits.

Thats a lot of trucks trains and automobiles they are going to need to get it out of the place.......
Seriously, we are excited over highly weathered material at 1.2% ... hmmmmmm, I'll wait for Happy's take on that because apparently that was crap when similar was reported by another company...
