Drilling intersected up to 1.14% lithium oxide within a near-surface 25 metre thick, vertical body of solid pegmatite, from a depth of just...

Aruma’s rubidium results at Mt Deans exhibit a strong relationship with the lithium results and has the potential to add significant value to the project, and will become a core focus, in parallel with lithium, in future exploration at Mt Deans. “The Mt Dean pegmatite is showing zonation with lithium grades up to 1.14% Li2O, and rubidium assays up to 1.05% which is high-grade, and our future work will target Mt Deans as a multi metal asset.” Aruma managing director Peter Schwann said: “The first phase of drilling at Mt Deans has delivered highly encouraging and positive results, returning strong lithium and rubidium grades in numerous intersections, some with significant widths. - 7 metres at 0.76% lithium oxide and 0.69% rubidium oxide from 31 metres; and - 1 metre at 1.14% lithium oxide at 36 metres in hole MDRC6 within a wider zone of 10 metres at 0.62% lithium oxide and 0.57% rubidium oxide from 22 metres; Aruma Resources Ltd (ASX:AAJ) has defined a thick vertical pegmatite with lithium grades up to 1.14% lithium oxide from its maiden drilling program at the Mt Deans Lithium Project in Western Australia.
