Highlights

  • Perpetual Resources acquires three new exploration licenses, tripling its presence in Brazil's Lithium Valley.
  • The region is home to top-grade spodumene occurrences and significant lithium mineralization with rock chips grading up to 7.6% Li2O.
  • The acquisition is adjacent to PEC's Isabella project and Sigma Lithium's large operations, with immediate plans for drilling.

Perpetual Resources (ASX:PEC) has made a strategic move by securing an agreement to acquire three promising exploration licenses in Brazil’s Lithium Valley. These areas significantly bolster Perpetual Resources' regional presence with 2559 hectares of highly prospective lithium land. The new project areas boast outcropping spodumene and artisanal mines, featuring historical rock chips grading up to 7.6% Li2O.

Strategic Location in a Thriving District

The newly acquired licenses are strategically positioned near Perpetual Resources' Isabella project and South America's largest hard rock lithium operation, Sigma Lithium. This proximity to established operations not only ramps up the prospectivity of the acquisition but also enhances operational synergies with existing projects.

Opportunities for Rapid Advancement

This acquisition comes with near-walk-up drill targets poised for advancement as the company prepares for maiden drilling. Early targets of focus include outcropping spodumene-bearing pegmatite with significant spodumene crystal formations. Perpetual Resources' exploration efforts will be managed by an on-site team, benefitting from insights and operational support from the vendor group, K2, which has longstanding experience in the region.

Looking Ahead: Drilling Plans and Regional Impact

The company is gearing up for an intensive phase of drilling activities aimed at unlocking the potential of the spodumene-rich pegmatites. With plans to initiate drilling within the first half of the year, the company will strive to confirm regional-scale pegmatite trends and high-grade spodumene occurrences in the expanded Lithium Valley region. Perpetual Resources looks to leverage these areas of potential continuity to solidify its standing in the lithium market.

Perpetual Resources (PEC) is poised at the forefront of an exciting exploration venture, marked by strategic acquisitions and promising drill-ready targets. As the company progresses with its developments in this vibrant region, the mutually beneficial collaborations and robust geological prospects look set to enhance its presence and contribute significantly to the lithium supply chain.
