Rex Lake South

Rex Lake South is near the southern plutonic domain (syn to post-tectonic and potassic granitoids)(1). The domain is host to pegmatite-related strategic metal systems. Felsic gneiss and undifferentiated metasedimentary rocks along with foliated tonalites host lithium and uranium mineralization in pegmatites. Numerous pegmatite occurrences outcrop within property limits. 

Lithium companies(1) in the vicinity* are working to narrow the margin of costs to mine Li by conducting feasibility studies regarding construction of conversion (spodumene and petalite concentrates to lithium sulphate) on site or nearby, mimicking Australia operations such as Greenbushes. By-products (aluminum silicates) are also suitable for applications in cement or ceramics industries.

*Nearby mines and deposits provide context for the project, but do not necessarily indicate similar size, styles or grade of mineralization within the project.
