AVZ Minerals hits 282.95m* of spodumene bearing pegmatite at
Manono Lithium Project
HIGHLIGHTS
• Drill-hole MO18DD002 intersected 282.95m* of pegmatite, containing a similar
proportion of spodumene reported from holes MO17DD001 and MO18DD001.
• Sampling of MO18DD002 is now completed and awaiting despatch over the next few
days to the laboratory.
• Samples from drill-hole MO18DD001 have been despatched for assaying.
• Three drill rigs now on-site.
• Assay results of rock-chip samples collected from outcrop of the Carriere de l’Est
Pegmatite include assays of up to 4.33% Li2O and up to 5930ppm Sn.
AVZ’s Executive Chairman Klaus Eckhof said, “Resource drilling at the Roche Dure
pegmatite is gaining momentum with the number of drill rigs onsite increasing and four rigs
to be operational at site by mid-March. A fifth rig has been mobilised from South Africa.
This additional drilling ability will allow us to complete the initial 20,000m program of
resource drilling in a timely manner. Core recovery has been excellent to date with nearly
100% core being recovered. Geological logging has proven that Manono is substantial in
size and recent surface rock chip assay results from the southern extension of the Carriere
de l’Est Pegmatite confirms additional potential within this area.”
