ASX-listed ENRG Elements has been awarded a co-funded grant of up to C$180 000 from the Manitoba Mineral Development Fund (MMDF) to assist with the advancement of its lithium projects in Canada.
Launched by the government of Manitoba, the MMDF aims to jump-start mineral and economic development initiatives across the province.
ENRG has recently been granted three mineral exploration licences over potential lithium targets at Handle Lake, Split Lake and Unwin Lake, with a fourth application at Beaver Hill Lake remaining pending.
The funding will support the 2024 exploration programme to advance the Manitoba project. First pass exploration activities will include focused prospecting, outcrop stripping, surface geochemical surveys, geological mapping, reprocessing of available geophysical data and targeted drone-assisted magnetic and LIDAR surveys.
