Latest Lithium Exploration News

Critical Resources' 2026 field program at Mavis Lake identifies highly fractionated lithium-caesium-tantalum pegmatites in newly acquired northern claims, sharpening drill targets and bolstering its multi-deposit lithium district ambitions.

Pursuit Minerals has reported promising early results from its DDH-3 drillhole at the Mito tenement, recovering highly saline brines consistent with its geological model and supporting the potential for significant lithium resources.

Chariot Resources has secured additional exploration licence transfers in Nigeria and increased its convertible loan to fund regulatory costs, pushing its Nigerian lithium acquisition closer to completion.

Li-FT Power has reported robust lithium intersections from 20 diamond drill holes at its Yellowknife Lithium Project, confirming and expanding known spodumene mineralisation across multiple pegmatite complexes.

Patagonia Lithium has ramped up pumping rates at its Formentera-Cilon lithium brine project with a 58% increase from Well 2, while advancing drilling and testing at Wells 7 and 8. The progress supports ongoing resource upgrades and operational efficiencies.

LE Minerals has significantly expanded its White Plains Lithium Brine Project in Utah by securing an additional 2,340 hectares of mineral leases, boosting its total landholding to around 8,520 hectares. The company now holds exclusive rights to explore lithium and other mineral salts for three years, with the option to enter a 10-year extraction lease thereafter.

Ore Resources Ltd has revealed new assay results from a 3,300m RC drilling program at its Kangaroo Hills Lithium Project, confirming significant extensions at the Big Red and Potoroo pegmatites and advancing near-term commercialisation options.

Patagonia Lithium’s Well 7 at Formentera delivered a lithium assay of 270ppm at 282m, close to the project average, alongside encouraging porosity and specific yield results that underpin production potential. Drilling will now shift to the Cilon concession, targeting a high-grade lithium zone.

Delta Lithium Limited has acquired key tenements at its Yinnetharra Project, gaining full control over 170 km2 of lithium prospective ground. The company also reports a notable gold occurrence at Mason’s prospect and continues extensive exploration across its large tenure.

Critical Resources has identified 14 pegmatite bodies, including six new ones, at its Mavis Lake Lithium Project, setting the stage for targeted drilling in 2026 as part of its multi-deposit lithium district strategy.

Chariot Resources, through its U.S. subsidiary FMS Lithium Corporation, has significantly expanded its lithium tenure at the Resurgent project in the McDermitt Caldera, staking 573 new claims and nearly doubling its footprint amid improving lithium market conditions.

Patagonia Lithium's latest passive seismic survey at the Formentera Lithium Project has uncovered basement depths up to 800m, doubling previous drilling depths and suggesting expanded lithium brine volumes. Ongoing pump tests confirm strong aquifer flow, underpinning an imminent resource upgrade.
