Lithium news roundup, Tuesday October 31.

 

Krakatoa bubbles up as the drills spin

Krakatoa Resources (ASX:KTA)

If an absolute eruption of price hasn’t quite hit yet for critical minerals hunting junior Krakatoa, a boom of activity is certainly taking place. It’ll definitely take the simmering +26% price action this afternoon, however.

We have full details in today’s special report about what’s happening at the company’s priority 42km2 King Tamba project in WA’s Mid West, but just quickly:

• The $10.4m market-capped company has begun a reverse circulation (RC) drill program to test high-grade lithium targets at King Tamba.

• Grades of up to 4.3% Li from rock chip samples are being targeted.

• Drilling will be conducted across the Wilsons, Loader and MGM prospects…

• … with 12-15 RC holes, spanning 1,200 metres, to be drilled as part of the campaign.

• All three prospects have previously returned high-grade lithium results.

Some 80km northwest of Mount Magnet, King Tamba is within the Dalgaranga greenstone belt that’s known for enriched gold, zinc, base metals lithium and rare earth deposits related to pegmatites.

Lithium is now front and centre on Krakatoa’s radar, after it defined a 1.3km-long by 500m-wide mineralised zone including at the Wilsons prospect where 250m of continuous outcrop has been identified with results of up to 4.3% Li2O, 1.7% rubidium and 0.5% caesium.

Krakatoa’s drill program is slated to be finished within 10 days, with samples to be sent to a lab in Perth.

PAT is taken higher… oh yes

Patriot Lithium (ASX:PAT)

PAT has rocked down to Electric Avenue, and that might take it higher. Oh no yes.

Don’t blame me for the ye olde lyrical referencing – our editor insisted. It’s all his fault… honest.

Fact is, though, PAT is up today on the back of the acquisition of an additional 536km2 of highly prospective claims in the “Electric Avenue” lithium district, in North-West Ontario, Canada.

This will make Patriot Lithium the largest claim holder in the lithium-rich district. That might take it higher, indeed.

The company notes:

“Upon exercise of its relevant option, Patriot will have a semi-contiguous regional claim packag eexceeding 890km2. The newly acquired claims cover several unexplored lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatite occurrences up to 40m wide.

“Patriot’s claims now adjoin and partially surround Frontier Lithium’s (TSXV: FL) claims to the south east that contain the world-class PAK-Spark Project, one of the largest and highest-grade lithium deposits in North America and which has announced intercepts including 398m at 1.88% Li2O2.

And, in other major ASX-housed lithium news…

A beleaguered Liontown Resources (ASX:LTR) has noted today that its Kathleen Valley project is more than 50% complete, with a clear line of sight to first production mid-2024.

During the September quarter, Liontown awarded the final major mining and construction contracts for Kathleen Valley, bringing capital costs committed to approximately 90% and de-risking the pathway to first production.
