I'm not a geo, unfortunately.
So I'm looking for ways to compare.
Pilgangoora and Wodgina are not too far away on the map and also geologically.
Are the deposits geologically comparable?
Do the pegmatids have similar crystallization ages?
Pilgangoora "pegmatites have consistent grades of Li2O, with randomly orientated spodumene crystals in a groundmass of dominantly quartz and albite."
Wodgina "The contact zones are enriched in cassiterite, ixiolite and microlite; border zones reveal high concentrations of cassiterite, ixiolite and tantalite."
I don't understand texts about geology, it's more believing than understanding.
I do like some of the text though:
* It is key to note that pegmatite dykes can extend kilometres from the original parental magma.
I hope our zones have the right mineral assemblages, mother nature have made the right mix.
Everyone a nice weekend!
