WA Lithium & Gold Tenements
Applications for seven (7) exploration licences covering 96.12 km2 in the highly prospective Southern Cross Greenstone Belt.
The applications are strategically positioned between the Earl Grey Lithium Mine (189Mt @ 1.53% Li₂O) and the Marvel Loch Gold Centre, within the richly mineralized Archean Yilgarn Craton. The Archean Yilgarn Craton is renowned for its lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatites and high-grade gold deposits.

The Southern Cross Greenstone Belt, known for its prolific gold production from over 150 mines, is also emerging as a key lithium region for LCT pegmatites. Notable nearby gold mines include:
Priority Exploration Targets (Upon Grant)
- E77/3088 – Flagged as a high-potential target for both gold and lithium and will be the initial focus for exploration.
- E77/3274 – Contains the Gem rubellite bearing pegmatite and has gold exploration potential. The tenement lies within the mafic greenstone belt, which hosts the Earl Grey lithium deposit and Bounty gold deposit.
- E77/3076 & E77/3078 – Prospective for pegmatite hosted lithium, with potentially favourable structural settings.
