Lithium-lusting eyes are on WA\u2019s Lake Johnston region today, with:\u00a0
\nRubix Resources, Charger Metals and Bryah Resources all in the frame, jostling for attention
\nMeanwhile TechGen Metals and Arizona Lithium are also surging<\/p>\n

Lithium-hunting junior Rubix is turning heads, having made its way to the top of the ressie gainers on the ASX today with a +58% surge at the time of writing.<\/p>\n
It has news regarding its pegmatite-poking action down in southern WA at Lake Johnston. Rubix has announced it\u2019s about to begin a Cultural Heritage Survey at the site, in collaboration with the registered Native Title Holders, the Ngadju People.<\/p>\n
And what this essentially means is the company will be moving ahead on November 30 to review the area for new access track potential and drillholes. A Program of Works for the company\u2019s maiden Lake Johnston drilling has already been approved.<\/p>\n

Bryah has been keeping one eye very much on its neighbouring competitors, noting it has \u201cfurther reason to fast track its exploration on Lake Johnston lithium targets following the recent success by TG Metals south of Bryah\u2019s tenure\u201d.<\/p>\n Bryah\u2019s aim is to get cracking on lithium exploration and have a soil program completed by the end of the year with drill targets identified over January and drilling following approvals in Q1 2024.<\/p>\n\n Bryah CEO Ashley Jones said:<\/p>\n \u201cTG Metals\u2019 recent success has put a strong emphasis again on Bryah\u2019s Lake Johnston area.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have already shown that we have LCT type pegmatites on Bryah\u2019s tenements with 403ppm Li2O at the Roundbottom Prospect. So we know the potential. A small orientation soil program was completed with results due mid-late November and a large soil program is being fast tracked.\u201d<\/p>\n Jones also noted the completion of a Down Hole Electro Magnetic survey at the company\u2019s Windalah VMS copper target, which also formed part of the company\u2019s projects update this morning.<\/p>\n BYH share price<\/strong><\/p>\n\n \ufeff<\/span>\ufeff<\/span>\ufeff<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n Gold\u2019n\u2019copper-hunting minnow TechGen has provided an update on its projects this morning, including stage-three drilling approved for its John Bull gold project in Glen Innes, NSW, and pegmatite mapping to kick off at Ida Valley, WA, with historic data identifying lithium and caesium in soils up to 144.5ppm Li (311ppm Li2O) along the Ida Fault.<\/p>\n TG1 also has great interest in its Station Creek copper project in the Ashburton Basin of WA.

With approximately 900 metres of unexplored soil gold anomalies, we anticipate that Stage 3 drilling will target the most promising geological and geochemical features revealed through our mapping, geochemistry, and petrology studies.\u201d<\/p>\n Source: TG1 ASX announcement<\/p>\n TG1 share price<\/strong><\/p>\n\n \ufeff<\/span>\ufeff<\/span>\ufeff<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n Arizona Lithium is heating up on news regarding its brine-based Prairie lithium project in Canada.<\/p>\n Pilot plant operations are now underway at the project, in order to process brine and produce lithium concentrate.<\/p>\n Essentially the pilot plant update regards testing of brine material that will complete the third and final phase of evaluating what the company believes to be very promising third-party supplied Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology.<\/p>\n AZL has form with this, previously producing high-purity lithium using the DLE tech.
