Sharper Lithium Signals at Dundas

The latest sampling campaign included 499 soil samples and aimed to enhance previously mapped regional geochemistry. The results uncovered strong lithium anomalism at both Dundas North and Dundas South. Dundas North recorded a peak of 147 parts per million (ppm) lithium, while Dundas South reached up to 104ppm, highlighting the prospectivity of these tenements.

These high-grade lithium indicators suggest a promising future for the region’s resource development. The company is now focusing on refining drill targets to progress exploration plans in line with broader market recovery expectations.

Defined Targets Amid Market Challenges

Despite the recent downturn in lithium sentiment, Lightning Minerals is maintaining disciplined expenditure and progressing exploration with a cost-effective approach. Infill soil sampling was conducted on refined grids—200m x 100m for Dundas North—following a 2023 regional campaign that covered a 35 square kilometre area on a 400m x 400m grid. These steps are part of a systematic targeting approach, concentrating on lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatite indicators.

The strategy positions Lightning Minerals to benefit as lithium sentiment improves, while delivering on its project milestones in a capital-efficient manner. These efforts are also aligned with a growing investor interest in ASX dividend stocks that combine growth with long-term value potential.

Global Lithium Ambitions

Beyond Western Australia, the company is expanding internationally. Recent acquisitions in Brazil—including the Caraíbas, Canabrava, and Esperança lithium assets in Minas Gerais—add to its global lithium presence. Additionally, exploration assets in Quebec, such as Dalmas and Hiver, offer exposure to critical minerals outside lithium, broadening the company’s strategic footprint.

As lithium regains attention in the broader ASX200 investment narrative, Lightning Minerals is working to ensure it remains well-positioned, backed by a growing resource base and diversified international presence.
