Venus Metals Corporation Ltd has identified multiple outcropping lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatites from reconnaissance sampling at its Henderson lithium-gold-nickel project in Western Australia.
According to the company, the prospective pegmatites are noticeably enriched in tantalum and niobium, returning maximum grades of 426 parts per million tantalum pentoxide and 392ppm niobium oxide.
In addition, many showed elevated lithium compositions with a maximum of 3.5% lithium oxide.
