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.

Patagonia Lithium advances drilling at its Cilon project, achieving 200 metres depth with promising packer test results showing good aquifer strength and lithium brine characteristics. Environmental assessments confirm no impact, while further pump testing and resource updates are planned.

Anson Resources has applied for 17 additional SITLA blocks adjacent to its Green River Lithium Project, potentially boosting its JORC resource by 18.4% without further drilling. The move aligns with plans to update the resource estimate by Q3 2026 and supports upcoming project financing efforts.

Core Lithium has kicked off open pit mining at Grants and underground development at BP33, backed by strong cash reserves and strategic asset divestment plans.

Black Bear Minerals' re-assay of historic drill core at its Shafter Silver Project in Texas reveals significantly higher silver grades and new polymetallic mineralisation, underpinning plans to expand the resource and advance mine restart studies.

Charger Metals has completed the unconditional sale of its Bynoe Lithium Project to Core Lithium’s subsidiary for $3.75 million upfront, with further payments tied to resource milestones and a capped royalty. The deal frees capital for Charger’s Lake Johnston lithium exploration and development plans.

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.

Wildcat Resources has delivered promising early metallurgical results from its Bolt Cutter Central lithium discovery in WA’s Pilbara, showing spodumene recoveries averaging 82.5% using flotation methods from its Tabba Tabba project. Exploration drilling has extended the mineralised footprint to over 2.3km with multiple significant lithium intercepts.

Patagonia Lithium has reached 38 metres in drilling Well 8 at its Cilon project in Argentina, with encouraging early core porosity and community approvals progressing.

Pursuit Minerals has kicked off diamond drilling at the Mito tenement, aiming to unlock a vast lithium brine system that could significantly boost its Rio Grande Sur resource. The drill program follows advanced geophysical work and a recent resource upgrade, positioning the project for potential long-term growth.

Charger Metals reports strong metallurgical results from its Medcalf lithium deposit, lifting lithium and tantalum grades significantly while slashing iron content. The company’s recent 34% resource upgrade and proximity to processing infrastructure underpin plans for a scoping study.
