Evergreen Exploration Manager Andrew Harwood commented: “Following the receipt of the approved MMP, our exploration team is now in the field undertaking the planned exploration program. The active auger program will help us explore under the thin cover layer and assist us to locate extensions of the pegmatite units identified by Core Lithium to our west.”
“With field conditions continuing to dry out following a record wet season, the team is also keen to get the RAB/AC drill rig into the field in the coming weeks. This drilling unit is quick and efficient at testing large areas of our high potential ground and will also be used to delineate shallow LCT pegmatite targets.”
