At the Kamativi lithium project, covered by Exclusive Prospecting Order 1782, a reconnaissance mapping/sampling site visit is planned to commence soon.
Permitting work has been initiated to prepare for more advanced exploration in the coming weeks and months, which is aimed at facilitating early drill testing.
"At the Bulawayo gold project, the company has signed a contract with
"The survey will comprise 12 184 line kilometres of flying at 100 metres line spacing covering extensive greenstone belt rock formations that are host to many small to mid-size quartz reef gold mines and deposits in
It said flying had already commenced and was expected to take about four to five weeks to complete, including delivery of processed data.
The aim is mapping critical structures and belts linking the many known small-scale gold mines and deposits to help identify targets for the potential development of a medium to large scale mine.
The Kamativi lithium project is adjacent to the Kamativi tin mine, which hosts a substantial lithium tailings resource, mainly in the form of spodumene, which is the most sought-after lithium mineral globally.
"Primary lithium grades at the Kamativi mine could well be higher than reported in tailings."
Lithium is one of the minerals expected to contribute to the achievement of the

Bird said at their Bulawayo gold project airborne geophysical surveying is already well under way over a region with many small to medium-sized historic high grade gold mines.
"Our work will aim to fingerprint the structural settings of the known deposits and to identify potential extensions of these zones through our property, as well as locating new targets underneath thin cover hidden from the old prospectors," he said.
