Widgie Nickel's lithium exploration update at Mt Edwards Project

Widgie Nickel Ltd (ASX: $WIN) has announced the extension of the lithium trend with the discovery of a new high-grade lithium occurrence at the Gemini prospect, located 600m north of Atomic 3. The visible spodumene identified in the field, supported by high-grade rock chip assays, suggests the presence of a substantial feeder system in close proximity.

Executive commentary on lithium exploration program

Widgie's lithium exploration program is starting to paint a bigger picture of endowment. Hot on the heels of the Farson discovery, we have identified another new high-grade lithium occurrence at a new prospect named 'Gemini' with indications that there may be a substantial feeder system in close proximity. Boots on the ground geology is paying dividends with these additional results from our 2024 field program re-evaluating the whole of Widgie's tenure for lithium. The systematic approach starting with grassroots mapping and sampling has been validated by these high-grade lithium results. This is only the beginning. Widgie is well positioned to make further discoveries in the highly prospective Lithium Corridor and is ideally set to build on an already established lithium resource base of 13,500t of contained Li2O and its substantial nickel endowment of 190,300t of contained nickel.
