Kairos expands, refines lithium portfolio
JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – ASX-listed Kairos Minerals has expanded and refined its lithium portfolio in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
It has secured three new prospective lithium exploration projects – the 182.4 km2 Croydon, the 383.7km2 Southern Pride and the 108.9 km2 Taipan projects – to complement its flagship Mt York and Wodgina East projects.
The projects were identified through the use of advanced modelling techniques in consultation with Perth-based consultants Geochemical Services.
To assist in the exploration process, Kairos engaged Geochemical Services which, under the direction of its principal Dr Nigel Brand, has successfully delineated lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatite targets for a number of lithium explorers.
Kairos MD Joshua Wellisch said the company had made significant progress in advancing its lithium strategy in the Pilbara region with the input and assistance from Brand.
“In conjunction with Dr Brand, our exploration team has been able to develop an impressive scientific method of locating and determining the fertility of areas for potential mineralised LCT pegmatites.
“This has allowed the company both to evaluate and prioritise our existing tenure and to access unpegged areas and apply for tenure if it meets the strict geological/geochemical criteria, enabling us to either keep or release ground depending on its calculated fertility,” he noted.
He added that this model enabled Kairos to apply a more cost-effective approach to exploration and targeting while taking full advantage of the developing lithium market, which is still in its infancy with respect to geological targeting and understanding.
