Colina Lithium Prospect Mineralised Strike Extends to Over 1KM

Latin Resources Limited ( ASX: LRS) (“Latin” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide the latest assay results from diamond drilling at the Company’s 100% owned high-grade Colina Lithium Prospect (“Colina” or the “Project”) in Brazil, where latest results have extended the known high-grade lithium pegmatites to over one kilometre along strike. Mineralisation remains open to the south.


HIGHLIGHTS

  • The latest results from diamond drilling in the northern limits of the Colina Prospect have extended the mineralised strike length for Colina to over one kilometre.
  • Recent assay results include:

  • Logging of drill core has confirmed that the high-grade pegmatites at Colina remain open to the south, with over 14.68m and 14.41m of spodumene-bearing pegmatite logged in the southernmost holes drilled to date.

Latin Resources’ Exploration Manager, Tony Greenaway, commented:

“These latest assay results from Colina are very pleasing, extending our zone of high-grade lithium by roughly 250m to the north. We are continuing to get excellent high-grade results in from our sampling, and now have confirmed high-grade lithium intercepts over a strike length of approximately 900m and combined with drilling further to the south showing good spodumene mineralisation in drill core, we now have a strike of over one kilometre to test with our resource definition drilling.

“The more we drill at Colina, the more confident we are becoming that we are on to something very significant. We are working with a range of consultant groups, including mining and metallurgical groups to commence preliminary study work

Colina Prospect – Resource Definition Drilling Latest assay results from diamond drilling at the Company’s 100% owned Colina Lithium Prospect have extending the known high-grade lithium pegmatite mineralisation to over 900m (Figure 1). Results include:

Logging of drill core from holes SAD014 and SADD015, which are the southernmost holes drilled to date, have confirmed the presence of significant widths of spodumene bearing pegmatites (Table 1), extending the known occurrence to over one kilometre along strike, with mineralisation remaining open to the south.

The current close spaces resource definition drilling will aim to test this fill strike extent, to approximately 400m down dip, with 100m x 50m drill spacing. Data from this drilling will be used in the calculation of the Maiden JORC Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE), for the Colina Prospect. Discussions with suitably qualified independent resource consultant groups have commenced, with an anticipated delivery timeframe of December 2022.

Drilling Targets Defined – Bananal Valley tenement, Lithium Valley, Brazil

Gold Mountain Limited (ASX: GMN) (“Gold Mountain” or “the Company” or “GMN”) is excited to announce it has received 224 soil samples from the southern section of the Salinas II Project in the Bananal Valley in Brazil. This new data has helped the team define a 14-hole drill program to test 10 high-priority lithium anomalies, some of which are coincident with outcrops of weathered pegmatite. The potential of this emerging Lithium district is highlighted by Latin Resources Collina Lithium Deposit (70.9Mt @ 1.25% Li2O), which lies along regional structural strike from GMN’s Salinas II Project.

Inside Billionaire Gina Rinehart's Key Mining Investments (Updated 2025)

Australian billionaire Gina Rinehart has become a formidable force in the global mining industry.

After taking the helm of her father’s iron ore mining firm Hancock Prospecting in 1993, Rinehart embarked upon a diversification strategy that has vastly expanded her resource empire. Now Australia’s richest person, Rinehart has investments in many of the world’s most strategic commodities such as lithium, rare earths, copper, potash and natural gas.

One of those investments is Arafura Rare Earths (ASX:ARU,OTC Pink:ARAFF), which even in a low price environment for rare earths has managed to secure nearly AU$1.5 billion in debt financing in mid-2024 to advance its Nolans project in the Northern Territory. With a 10 percent equity stake, Rinehart’s Hancock Prospecting is Arafura's largest shareholder.
