Special Report: <\/em><\/strong>Phase 3 auger<\/strong> drilling has commenced at Western Yilgarn\u2019s Bulga project in WA, where neighbouring projects are proving the potential of the Ida Fault.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The region is a hotbed of activity. Most recently, \u00a0Western Yilgarn\u2019s (ASX:WYX)<\/a> recently arrived neighbour TechGen Metals (ASX:TG1)<\/strong><\/a> caught an absolute rocket after identifying high levels of lithium and other pathfinder elements, such as caesium tantalum and rubidium, in historical data.<\/p>\n

This greenstone belt also contains Delta Lithium\u2019s (ASX:DLI)<\/strong><\/a> advanced 12.7Mt @ 1.2% Li2O Mt Ida deposit, 50km to the south, while another recently arrived neighbour in Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO)<\/strong><\/a> also has tenure adjoining WYX.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Drilling continues<\/strong><\/h2>\n

WYX\u2019 Bulga project is comprised of four contiguous exploration licences and two applications which cover a combined area of ~477km2.<\/p>\n

Geologists are currently undertaking mapping and ground truthing of Ni-Cu-PGE and lithium pegmatite targets with an intensive auger drilling campaign.<\/p>\n

WYX says drilling is advancing, with ~600 of a total 1,338 planned holes in this round completed to date.<\/p>\n

Once completed, the total number of holes drilled on the E36\/1010, E36\/1011, E36\/1025 and E36\/1028 licenses rises to a whopping ~3,684.<\/p>\n

The infill program will provide an auger grid of 200m x 100m spacing across identified targets, with additional infill to 100m x 50m planned before an RC drilling campaign kicks off.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Additional leases<\/strong><\/h2>\n

WYX says it expects to apply the same auger geochemistry exploration to two additional Bulga leases, which currently remain under application.<\/p>\n

E36\/1065 is a ~136km2 lease contiguous to existing leases and sharing northern, eastern, and western boundaries of the current tenements, while E36\/1066 covers 138km2 lease and shares southern, eastern, and western boundaries.<\/p>\n

The selection of the additional licenses is \u201cpredicated on prospectivity arising from first-pass exploration activities\u201d.<\/p>\n

WYX chair Peter Lewis says Bulga continues to grow and develop as a strategic asset.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are encouraged by our exploration results to date which we believe have contributed to the heightened exploration activity in the Yilgarn region of Western Australia,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 100%-owned Bulga exploration licences are a strategic asset which together with the Company\u2019s Julimar West, Boodanoo and Sylvania projects position the company as a fast growing exploration company in one of Australia\u2019s most prospective exploration regions.\u201d<\/p>\n
