ENRG Elements Limited (ASX: $EEL) has announced the positive results from the initial 30 rock chip samples collected from the Tarouadji 2 Exploration Permit in the Agadez region of Niger. The project, which is prospective for lithium and tin minerals, covers an area of approximately 500km2 and is located 70km east of the Company's Agadez Uranium Project. The recent rock chip sample program aimed to test historic geochemical data, and the results have confirmed the earlier work, identifying multiple pegmatite veins and dykes with strong correlations between lithium, rubidium, and tin minerals.
We are pleased by these results as they not only confirm the historic data but have also improved our understanding of the earlier anomalies. This is particularly pleasing as Tarouadji is a true greenfield prospect having little work or data completed to date to assist our exploration efforts. So far, we have only looked at a very small part of the permit and we can now advance our work with greater confidence, knowing that the historic samples have been validated.
The rock chip sample program at the Tarouadji lithium project has yielded positive results, confirming historic data and identifying multiple pegmatite veins and dykes with strong correlations between lithium, rubidium, and tin minerals. The project's next phase of work will focus on geological mapping and surface sampling to locate additional pegmatites and enhance the recently identified anomalism. With the project being a greenfield prospect, these results provide ENRG Elements with greater confidence to advance their exploration efforts. The Company's focus on the exploration and development of uranium and lithium projects aligns with the increasing demand for clean energy sources, positioning them well for future opportunities in the energy sector.
