All your lithium news, Thursday July 13.
Mark Creasy and SQM-backed Azure Minerals (ASX:AZS) is hitting more outrageous 100m-thick lithium intersections at Andover.
What a monster.
AZS says these intercepts, like a highlight 100.2m @ 1.24% Li2O from 101.5m, are close to true width.
This super thick mineralisation now extends for more than 1,200m along strike, and down-dip from surface to vertical depths more than 350m – and remains open.
All up, the peggie swarm extends over an area of 9km (east-west) and up to 5km (north-south).
A 100km drilling program continues in efforts to find the edges of this behemoth, which the company believes could hold 100Mt of lithium resources.
An exploration target is due out in the current quarter, ahead of a maiden resource in Q1 next year.

Who else has news out?
Drilling is underway at Wildcat Resources’ (ASX:WC8) Tabba Tabba lithium project in the Pilbara, a stone’s throw from a 10Mt-15Mt resource surreptitiously drilled out by mining major FMG (ASX:FMG).
The 30 hole, 4600m program will target outcropping pegmatites (rocks that can contain lithium) in the northern and central mining leases.
“It is a great feeling to see Wildcat drilling at Tabba Tabba, a project that last saw drilling activity in 2014, when tantalum was prized far more than lithium,” managing director Samuel Elkins says.
“Our exploration team has done a great job to get us in this position so soon after announcing the deal to acquire this amazing asset.”

Near term Malian miner Leo Lithium (ASX:LLL) has awarded an open pit mining contract worth $520m over 5.5 years to “specialist West African operator” Corica.
“With the mining contractor now in place, Leo Lithium has taken another major step towards realising its target of first spodumene concentrate production in H1 2024,” LLL managing director Simon Hay says.
“We look forward to working with Corica over the long term, commencing with DSO activities this quarter.”
LLL says the 506,000tpa (ramping up to 830,000tpa) Goulamina project –- a 50/50 JV with Ganfeng — represents the next lithium project of significant scale to enter production.
More assays are in from advanced, hard drilling lithium stock Green Technology Metals (ASX:GT1) as it looks to bolster the size of its 8.1Mt @ 1.32% Li2O Root project in Canada.
New results include several hits between 16-20m thick at 1.6-1.78% Li2O. The mineralised trend is now 2.7km long, the company says.
45 holes for 7,668m have been completed from the planned 22,000m program, with assays pending for 36 holes.
In short:
Yari Minerals (ASX:YAR) — formerly zinc play Consolidated (ASX:CZL) — has refocused efforts on an early stage lithium portfolio in the Pilbara.
Drilling continues at Pan Asia Metals (ASX:PAM) Bang I Tum lithium prospect ahead of a maiden resource due later this year. An additional rig has been mobilised to accelerate the program.
Gascoyne explorer Odessa (ASX:ODE) has unearthed four “well defined and compelling” lithium drill targets at Lockier Range, ~8.5km from Delta Lithium’s (ASX:DLI) Jameson lithium discovery.
