Ann: High Grade Lithium at Jaegermeister, page-21

While superficially this a bunch of thin peg's, there are some things to like about the Jaegermeister drilling.

Pegmatites are not a surface forming formation. They are a magma sourced formation. Their origin's are therefore kilometres below the surface. That path of travel from melted magma to near surface rocks can cause them to split apart into lots of separate seams. Sometimes mineralisation continues down for many hundreds of metres. Sometimes it ceases nearer the surface. Most of the time pegmatites are not mineralised which is why despite all the exploration, particularly over the last couple of boom periods the number of JORC resources is in Australia is still limited. TG6 hit mineralised peg's at Jaegermeister.

Context - early drilling at LTR's Kathleen Corner
While its easy to forget the early stages of projects that became big, the following drill results were put out by LTR on 19 Feb 2018. The report focused on drill holes 27 to 31 as LTR had started to dial in on areas of medium thickness but initial holes 1-14 were a thin, stacked pegmatite system with good mineralisation.


A week later with more assay's back, Kathleen Corner cross sections were released on 26 Feb 2018.


Back to Burmeister / Jaegermeister
While its not the same geology (Geologically Mt Holland has been noted as a closer equivalent), this behaviour of pegmatites to split out into many thinner seams is not uncommon. The question is, do these thinner peg's combine and do they have a thicker source? What KV had at Kathleen Corner at this stage was a series of good grade thinner peg's. From the graphics it looks as if the pegmatites were typically mineralised most if not all the way through, typically with good grades.

At this stage for Jaegermeister, TG6 are also finding nearer to horizontal than vertical peg's with multiple thinner peg's but typically good grades within those thinner peg's. TG6 at Jaegermeister hasn't yet dialed into thicker areas but suspects they are to the west and north. TG6 at Burmeister may be in the process of dialing into thicker areas. At Jaegermeister TG6 have just done the first set of exploratory drilling as 3+2+3 in Target A and 3+3 in Target B.

The table below looks at the drill holes for Target A / Target B. The highlighting represents the western end of each string. Across the 3 Target A strings and the northern Target B string, the highest grades are at the western end of the string. The total metres of pegmatite is often increasing and the incidence of lower grade pegmatites is often decreasing. The drill holes say go west my friend and that is TG6's intention. RC1014 is the oddity being the most eastern hole in Target B and having one of the highest assay's returned (2.61%).


If the drill hole results are combined, where the pegmatites are 0.6% or higher the average grade is 1.35%. While instances did occur of below typical cut-off pegmatite mineralisation, there were only 7m of intercepts below 0.6%. There were an equal number of intercepts of 2.0% or higher. An intercept was just as likely to be under 0.6% as it was 2.0% or higher. Despite the thin seams, pegmatite assay grades are strong at Targets A and B.
