Project Summary

  • The three Wapesi properties (Mining Creek, Altimeter Bay and Sunlight Bay) cover 2,109 hectares and are associated with the Wapesi Batholith in the English River Sub-Province, an area of intense lithium exploration.

  • The Wapesi Batholith is considered fertile and prospective for the generation of LCT-type deposits, and the batholith is known to contain multiple mapped but untested pegmatites.

  • The properties are located in areas of anomalous or very high lake sediment1,2 assays resulting from elements associated with LCT pegmatites3.

  • Mining Creek and Sunlight Bay lie at the interface between the granitic intrusion and the metasedimentary country rocks, a prospective location for LCT3 pegmatites.

  • Altimeter Bay is in the centre of the intrusion over elevated lithium in lake sediments.
