LCT pegmatites have been discovered at the Whitlock lithium project in Manitoba, Canada
\nPegmatites mapped over 70m and near surface
\nBlue Moon is just 8km from the high-grade Tanco LCT mining operation <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Special Report<\/em><\/strong>: Koba Resources has discovered a new set of stacked lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatites after laying eyes on assays from outcrop and channel sampling across a 5km-long structural corridor at the Blue Moon prospect.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a busy few months for Koba Resources (ASX:KOB)<\/strong><\/a> since discovering a series of LCT pegmatites at the Whitlock project in southern Manitoba, Canada \u2013 only 8km from the world-class Tanco LCT mine.<\/p>\n

Chinese-run Tanco is known for containing one of the largest commercially viable caesium deposits in the world.<\/p>\n

In September last year, KOB announced it had found pegmatites assaying 0.22% Li2O at Whitlock. This was followed by a further discovery 2.5km to the west at Blue Moon, which also contained peak caesium and tin assays of 0.38% and 0.63% respectively \u2013 both are deemed to be particularly high.<\/p>\n

Now there\u2019s three stacked pegmatites mapped over 70m at the prospect with an average thickness of 3m.<\/p>\n

Channel samples were collected and include 3,806ppm (0.38%) caesium, 731ppm tantalum, 1,498ppm (0.15%) Li2O and 6,259ppm (0.63%) tin \u2013 all of which are highly anomalous.<\/p>\n

Inaugural drilling to prove up pegmatite discovery<\/strong><\/h2>\n

KOB chief executive Ben Vallerine says the discovery of highly anomalous outcropping pegmatites at the Blue Moon prospect is another exciting development for the Whitlock project.<\/p>\n

\u201cLCT mineralisation has now been identified over 5km of strike at and around the Blue Moon prospect \u2013 so there is certainly significant potential to discover a sizeable high-grade deposit,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

\u201cKoba is progressing plans for both a follow-up sampling program and an inaugural drilling program during the forthcoming Canadian summer.<\/p>\n

\u201cLithium, caesium and tantalum are all mined at the high-grade Tanco mine, which is less than 8km from the Blue Moon prospect \u2013 providing us with confidence that additional high-grade mineralisation will be discovered within our project area.\u201d<\/p>\n

The explorer is planning follow-up work at Whitlock in April\/May this year to assist in generating new auger drilling target areas, as well as undertaking additional sampling at the Beaver Tail, Fox, Marmot and 5 Eagles prospects.<\/p>\n
