E63/2050 Cat Camp
Operator: BOA
Location: Eastern Goldfields, Western Australia
Cat camp exploration advancing
The Cat Camp lithium-nickel project is located 425km east of Perth, Western Australia in the lithium regions of Lake Johnston and Lake Percy.
BOA has an agreement with the Marlinyu Ghoorlie Native Title Claimant Group to progress exploration activities on the Cat Camp tenement.
Lithium targets in the Cat Camp tenement will be drilled as part of the BOA 2024 drilling campaign.
BOA is planning approximately 21 holes for 1800m of drilling.
Geochemical survey
BOA Resources completed a 707-sample geochemical survey to identify the prospective nature for lithium mineralisation of pegmatites identified within historic regional aircore (AC) and reverse circulation (RC) drilling, primarily targeting nickel.
Sampling was completed on a 200 x 100m grid pattern, primarily focusing on areas of greenstone lithologies identified from mapping, historic drilling and geophysical interpretation
Results of the auger geochemical program identified two anomalous lithium zones within the Cat Camp tenement. Maximum values for lithium were 61.4ppm with supporting coincident rubidium (Rb) anomalism to 245.3ppm. Other pathfinder elements including caesium (Cs) and beryllium (Be) also displayed coincident low-level anomalism. The largest anomaly covers an area of approximately 2 x 2km. Significantly, the largest anomaly is open to the north and east within the tenement and has the potential to increase in size.
Both anomalous lithium zones are spatially associated with known greenstones and coincident with previous regional drilling that identified numerous shallow pegmatite units up to 17m thick.
