iTech Minerals (ASX: $ITM) confirms spodumene presence at Reynolds Range project

iTech Minerals Ltd (ASX: $ITM) has confirmed the presence of spodumene, the primary lithium-bearing mineral, at the GMF1 Pegmatite within the Reynolds Range project in the Northern Territory. The Quantitative X-ray Diffraction (QXRD) analysis of two lithium-bearing samples from the GMF1 Pegmatite revealed spodumene content of 84% and 83%. This confirmation marks a significant development in iTech's exploration for battery materials and critical minerals.

Executive Commentary on Spodumene Confirmation

iTech is pleased to confirm the positive identification of spodumene as the primary lithium-bearing mineral at the GMF pegmatite at Reynolds Range in the NT. Spodumene is the main commercial mineral of importance due to its high lithium concentration and well-established processing techniques. With over 60km of outcropping pegmatites across the tenement package, we are just starting to scratch the surface of what could be a new large-scale, lithium mineralized system in the Northern Territory. - Managing Director, Mike Schwarz

Summary of Reynolds Range Project Development

iTech Minerals' confirmation of spodumene at the GMF1 Pegmatite in the Reynolds Range project signifies a significant milestone in the exploration for battery materials and critical minerals. The presence of spodumene, with high lithium concentration, holds the potential for a large-scale lithium mineralized system in the Northern Territory. The project covers a total of 375 km2 of the Aileron Province, part of the Paleoproterozoic North Australian Craton, and has the potential to be a substantial lithium mineralized system. With additional spodumene occurrences at nearby pegmatites, iTech Minerals is poised for further exploration and potential developments in the region.
