Overview
The Energia property totals 4,585 ha and consists of 4 claim blocks acquired through staking in the Eastern Brazil Pegmatite Province (EBPP). The property is located in Minas Gerais, considered one of the world's most prolific mining districts and the top jurisdiction for hard rock lithium in Brazil.
LCT Vectors
Key Exploration vectors for lithium-cesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatites:
- Proximal to major litho-structural geological boundary
- Mafic metavolcanic and/or metasedimetary host rocks
- Rare earth element indicators, tantalum, certain gemstones, etc.
EBPP
The EBPP hosts:
- CBL Mine
- Producing lithium since 1993
- 36,000 tpy of SPO concentrate @ 5.5%
- Spodumene reserves of +1.3Mt.
- Sigma Lithium's Grota do Cirilo Mine
- Mineral Reserves 13.8 Mt @ 1.46% Li2O
- Largest lithium deposit in the Americas with a NI 43-101 resource estimate of 52Mt
- Mine under construction
- Opening planned for late 2022
- Latin Resources Salinas Project
- Recent drill results include:
- 17.4m @ 1.46% Li2O
- 25.2m @ 1.25% Li2O
- 26.9m @ 1.40% Li2O
- Lithium Ionic
- Recent drill results include:
- 1.98% Li2O/25.63m, 1.94% Li2O/20m
- 1.71% Li2O/22m
- 2.22% Li2O/12.5m
The Energia property is located ~40 km southwest of Sigma's Groto do Cirilo property. The majority of the EBPP is unexplored and there is largely artisanal evidence of rare element pegmatite development throughout the EBPP.
