PERTH (miningweekly.com) – ASX-listed NickelSearch has joined forces with lithium miner Allkem to evaluate the lithium potential at the Carlingup nickel sulphide project, in Western Australia.
Allkem will review the lithium-related data for Carlingup and advise on target generation and prioritisation.
“NickelSearch is excited to commence working in technical collaboration with Allkem, the owner and operator of the Mt Cattlin lithium mine in Ravensthorpe, located just 10 km away from Carlingup,” said NickelSearch MD Nicole Duncan.
“Given the similar geology between Mt Cattlin and Carlingup, the companies have agreed to work together to assess the lithium potential of our project.
“The exploration team at Mt Cattlin is sharing its vast technical expertise on greenfield lithium exploration and NickelSearch is sharing the data from the work completed to date. These discussions are based on the spirit of partnership, where success sets both companies up well to negotiate further steps in the relationship.”
