Pan Asia Metals (ASX: $PAM) KT East Lithium Prospect Update

Pan Asia Metals Limited (ASX: $PAM) is pleased to report the expansion of the KT East Lithium Prospect, with abundant lepidolite pegmatite zone identified over a 1.5km X 500m area. The prospect continues to show strong potential, with rock-chip sampling enhancing prospectivity and highly elevated Li pathfinder elements such as rubidium (Rb) and ceasium (Cs) being identified. The Managing Director, Paul Lock, expressed optimism about the extensive prospect and the impressive Li2O mod grades, indicating the potential for an extended project life and/or increased annual LCE production.

Executive Commentary on KT East Lithium Prospect

The KT Lithium Prospect is proving to be extensive, and the Li2O mod grades continue to impress. PAM's field team has begun a grid-based soil and rock-chip sampling and geological mapping program, with soil sampling being conducted on a 100m X 25m grid. Initial gridding reports have been very encouraging, and we await formal results before providing an update on the program in a week or so. We are also investigating drill sites, with several walk-up drill targets identified. Drilling is expected to start later this year. KT presents PAM a substantial extension to RK and BT prospects and, with the KT footprint already larger than RK and BT combined, KT has the potential to add substantial tonnes, which means potential for an extended project life and/or increased annual LCE production. These results are feeding into discussions with strategic partners, so the KT exploration success is timely.
