Arkle Resources plc said survey analysis across its two Makgadikgadi blocks indicated the presence of a conductive layer, expected to be brines, averaging 30 metres deep.
SAMPLING
Four wide spaced transient electromagnetic lines were completed across the near 1,000 km2 area in the salt pans of northeast Botswana, with results pending.
Samples of the brines will be collected and analysed for lithium content.
“We are very pleased with this outcome,” said chairman John Teeling.
“All indications are the structure is composed of brines.
“Sample collecting will commence shortly.”
Arkle was awarded PL075/2023 and PL0148/2023, covering 312 and 525km2 respectively, in December 2023.
