The results include a 22m section grading 1.58% lithium oxide from 110m, 20m at 1.43% lithium oxide from 34m, 15m at 1.19% lithium oxide from 70m and 13m at 1.76% lithium oxide from 123m.

“These prospects will form the basis of our initial project assessment and potential for the development of a ‘mining hub’ at Bougouni.”

A strike length of more than 1,400m was confirmed in drilling and assay results are pending for an additional 22 drill holes.

Aylward also stated that the company has undertaken exploration drilling at Bougouni South and regional testing at Ngoualana.

The pegmatite bodies intersected by the drilling are rich in spodumene with consistent width and tenor of mineralisation.

Kodal is planning to carry out diamond drilling during the next phase of exploration at Sogola-Baoule.

This will enable the company to incorporate detailed geological logging, metallurgical testwork and geotechnical review of ground conditions in a mining assessment.

Additionally, exploration drilling will continue to test for extensions to the target zone.
