The Kula Gold team undertook a recent field reconnaissance trip as part of due diligence to acquire and add the Kirup Project to its existing portfolio.

With an area of 117km2, the Kirup Project (E70/5452) is within 25km of the world-class Greenbushes Lithium Mine and increases Kula Gold’s (ASX:KGD) existing lithium exploration ground.

It also complements its existing Brunswick Lithium Project further to the north, where the company recently mapped a large 2km by up to 300m wide pegmatite on the same Donnybrook-Bridgeton shear zone, which hosts Greenbushes.

“This is the best place to explore for lithium,” Kula chief executive officer Ric Dawson says.

“Right near the biggest hard rock lithium mine in the world – sampling has been completed and we look forward to the results.”

Kula recently acquired a 70% interest in Kirup, which is subject to the completion of financial, legal, and technical due diligence to the satisfaction of Kula, the purchase of 100% of Merchant Ventures (owned by Stowell) by Sentinel via an option agreement, and regulatory approvals.

What’s next?

KGD’s due diligence team visited Kirup to check out the 11 previously identified pegmatites localities.

Ground truthing of some of these previously identified occurrences show outcrops to be generally offset where encouraging lithium bearing rock types have been spotted and sampled.

Kula believes the very strong anomalous signature (red outline) provides a good target for the technical team to explore in the acquisition tenement.
