Recent drilling in the Main dyke intersected 1.17% lithium oxide and 165.3 ppm tantalum over 8.0 metres, 2.07% Li₂O and 214.0 ppm Ta, and 2.82% Li₂O and 143.3 ppm Ta over 7.0 metres. The company has also drilled two spodumene pegmatite dykes discovered down hole of the Main dyke at the end of the 2017 drilling program. The first new hole returned 0.99% Li₂O and 88.3 ppm Ta over 3.0 metres; 0.85% Li₂O and 94.1 ppm Ta over 1.2 metres; and 1.11% Li₂O and 73.0 ppm Ta over 6.42 metres. Initial results from the second dyke contained <343.8 ppm Ta, although more drilling is needed to understand its structure.
