Cadence Minerals plc portfolio company Evergreen Lithium Ltd has identified priority pegmatite targets within the Bynoe project in the Northern Territory of Australia.
BLIND PEGMATITES
Evergreen used ambient noise tomography (ANT) to measure the seismic velocity of the subsurface in three dimensions.
The survey aimed to identify potential lithium bearing pegmatites at depth, otherwise known as blind pegmatites, which were found within Bynoe Northern area 1.
Interpretation and analysis of ANT data in survey area 1 continues, with analysis of survey areas 2, 3 and 4 to follow.
Cadence, which is Evergreen’s largest shareholder, added that geochemical sampling and mapping were also underway at Bynoe.
