Sayona Mining (ASX:SYA) has assayed up to up to 3.55% lithium from rock chips at the Eastern No.2 Pegmatite, which is part of its Mallina spodumene pegmatite project in the Pilgangoora district of Western Australia.
Adding to the prospectivity, mapping at the Eastern No.3 Pegmatite has identified pegmatite over 1400 metres in strike extent, with rock chips up to 1.98% lithium.
This fieldwork has enhanced the potential of the project.
Corey Nolan, chief executive officer, commented:
"The company is encouraged that the new results confirm the robust grade, thickness and strike extent of the new pegmatite discoveries.
"The Mallina prospect now contains two parallel pegmatite systems with more than 1000 metres of strike length each.
"Drilling will commence next week to test their potential."
