Monaro Lithium Project area \u00a9 Oceana Lithium<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe team includes Oceana\u2019s Senior Exploration Manager and experienced lithium explorationist, James Abson, and in-country senior geologist, Uwe Naeher. The Explo-Logik crews include two experienced geologists assisted by four support field technicians working on a rotational basis.<\/p>\n
The team plans to sample over 60 locations. These samples will be sent to ALS in Val-d\u2019Or, Qu\u00e9bec, for analysis.<\/p>\n
Field exploration work is expected to continue until mid to late September.<\/p>\n
Data from the Monaro project has been acquired and analysed<\/h3>\n Sentinel 2 visible\/near infrared (VNIR), shortwave infrared (SWIR), and Aster Multispectral and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data have been acquired for the field exploration work of the Monaro project area. This data has been analysed.<\/p>\nFigure 2: Linear satellite imagery targets (yellow) and spectral targets (red diamonds); and identified pegmatites (SIG\u00c9OM pegmatite data \u2013 red star, and Tilly pegmatite suite – red polygon) within the Monaro Lithium Project area \u00a9 Oceana Lithium<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nSpecific analysis of the emission spectra with a focus on dihydrogen or helium, has generated targets. This could be indicative of the mineral zeolite, common in pegmatites, and cookeite, a weathering product of the lithium mineral lepidolite.<\/p>\n
26 spectral targets, excluding four targets previously reported, have been generated from these data sets.<\/p>\n
This method has been applied with great success in lithium exploration in Western Australia.<\/p>\n
High-resolution satellite imagery has been purchased<\/h3>\n Oceana has purchased high resolution PNEO 30cm 6-Band satellite imagery for the tenement area.<\/p>\n
A LiDAR survey contractor has also been appointed to gather additional high resolution topography data and imagery to further assist pegmatite identification and accurate delineation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
