Australasian Metals announced on July 1 that it has identified high-grade tantalum and tin mineralisation at the Barrow Creek Lithium Project in the Northern Territory, associated with highly anomalous values of lithium and caesium.
The drilling returned results including up to 1,018 ppm tantalum, which was taken from a highly weathered, almost ground-level outcrop.
Follow-up soil sampling is now underway in the area to expand the potential footprint of mineralisation, with the company now awaiting results.
The company said it has also begun preliminary discussion with concentrate processers in Asia to test its material.
