Spark Energy Minerals has secured a lithium ground position of ~ 34,000 hectares, with multiple anomalies targets defined within the prospective ‘lithium valley’
Drilling targets will be the focus for 2023 at the three lithium licenses to confirm the known potential for lithium in spodumene pegmatites in this region and over the lithium licenses
These licenses are in the most extensive exploration acreage of Brazil near by to producers Sigma Lithium and the government mine, CBL. The focus is on exploration for outcropping pegmatites in preliminary prospecting.
