Here’s an analysis of the provided drilling highlights for Andover South:Key FindingsDrilling Overview:A total of 28 diamond drill holes completed, with 7,041m drilled in the maiden program.Two distinct pegmatite systems identified:North-West Trending System (Target Area 6 & 7)East-West Trending System (Target Area 1, 2, 3, 4)Mineralisation Insights:High-Grade Lithium (Li₂O):Significant results from Target Areas 1 and 2 show mineralisation >2% Li₂O, indicating economically viable lithium potential.Specific assay results include:ASDD019: 6.23m @ 1.16% Li₂OASDD022: 4.56m @ 1.16% Li₂OTarget Area 7: No Li₂O mineralisation identified in current assays.Observations suggest mineralisation in Target Areas 1, 2, 3, and 4 may indicate proximity to a larger untapped system in the "Southern Corridor."Geophysical & Structural Observationsrill core data and magnetic surveys suggest that the known mineralisation could represent the periphery of a more extensive system to the south.Future PlansStructural and Geological Evaluation:A deeper structural and geological analysis will guide the next phase of drilling.The focus will be on refining the understanding of both the East-West and North-West systems.Exploration Focus:Assessing the large pegmatite outcrop on tenement E47/4061.Potential follow-up drilling in the Southern Corridor target area to test the hypothesised larger system.Analysis and RecommendationsHigh-Grade Lithium Zones:The identified high-grade zones (>2% Li₂O) are promising for economic lithium extraction, particularly in Target Areas 1 and 2.Follow-up exploration in these areas could expand the known resource.Untested Potential:The Southern Corridor presents a compelling target, with current data suggesting it could host a more significant resource.Strategic Explorationrioritise drill testing of the Southern Corridor while continuing detailed analysis of the East-West trending system.Include detailed geochemical and structural mapping for a better understanding of the regional system.Data Integration:Use the results from geophysical and assay data to model the 3D geometry of the pegmatite systems for targeted drilling.SignificanceThe findings suggest a promising lithium potential in Andover South, particularly in the East-West trending system. With systematic follow-up exploration, this region could emerge as a significant resource base for lithium production.
