ASX / MEDIA ANNOUNCEMENT WEDNESDAY 23 JUNE 2021
EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT DRILLING ALONG THE SOUTHERN
CORRIDOR AT PILGANGOORA DELIVERS FURTHER EXCEPTIONAL
RESULTS
PROGRAM TO PAVE WAY FOR NEW INTEGRATED RESOURCE IN THE SEPTEMBER QUARTER
KEY POINTS
• Strategic exploration and resource extensional drilling program adjacent to the
historical Altura tenement boundary identifies further defined zones of highgrade pegmatite mineralisation.
• 10,158 drill metres completed with an extension to the initial program currently
underway.
• Further promising assay results received for the first 32 Reverse Circulation holes
of the 62-hole program, with select new intercepts indicating:
• 20m@ 1.83% Li2O and 36 ppm Ta2O5 from 28m (PLS1328)
• 12m @ 1.84% Li2O and 67 ppm Ta2O5 from 5m (PLS1330)
• 21m @ 1.28% Li2O and 62 ppm Ta2O5 from 25m (PLS1337)
• 32m@ 1.44% Li2O and 79 ppm Ta2O5 from 159m (PLS1337)
• 44m@ 1.49% Li2O and 76 ppm Ta2O5 from 146m (PLS1341)
• New near surface pegmatite domain identified, suggesting a lower strip ratio
within the potential mine pit inventory of the combined South Pit.
• Drilling continues, with an update to the Pilgangoora Project Mineral Resource
on track for delivery in the September Quarter 2021.
Australian lithium producer Pilbara Minerals Limited (Pilbara Minerals - ASX: PLS) is pleased
to report further significant assay results from the current exploration and resource
extension drilling program underway at its 100%-owned Pilgangoora Project in Western
Australia.
The drill program is targeting the under-explored region on the tenement boundary
adjacent to the former Altura Lithium Operation (now known as the Ngungaju Plant and
associated facilities), with the intention of optimising and growing the future pit inventory.
Initial results from the program have identified zones of high-grade pegmatite
mineralisation adjacent to the tenement boundary and future South Pit expansion area
which is outside of the previously identified Mineral Resource.
Geological modelling is currently underway and on track for the delivery of an updated
Pilgangoora Project Mineral Resource (including the compilation and integration of the
former Altura Lithium Operations’ Mineral Resource) in the September Quarter 20211
